— 1st Quarter

ARKANSAS 10, TEXAS A&M 7

The Aggies gained 7 or more yards on their first six plays, and scored on their first third-down snap. The Hogs lost yardage on third-and-1 and punted, but they survived a 52-yard Johnny Manziel keeper when Taylor Bertolet missed a 39-yard field goal wide right. Tyler Wilson checked down to a swing pass and Knile Davis broke two tackles on a 64-yard touchdown catch. Arkansas’ run game and Wilson’s 9-yard pass to Julian Horton on a slant moved the chains on a 15-play drive that resulted in Zach Hocker’s 26-yard field goal.

Davis racked up 109 yards in the quarter, which ended with Texas A&M moving at the 50.

2nd Quarter

TEXAS A&M 27, ARKANSAS 10

Texas A&M completed a 48-yard drive with Taylor Bertolet’s 46-yard field goal on fourth-and-1.

The Hogs went three-and-out, and Texas A&M used three plays of 15 yards or longer to drive for Bertolet’s 26-yard field goal. Arkansas drove to the 19, but a fumble and penalty led to Tyler Wilson’s interception to Steven Terrell. Three plays later, Ben Malena caught a pass in the flat and went 11 yards for the score.

Arkansas punted on fourth-and-3 from the 48 and Ryan Swope caught an 80-yard touchdown pass on the next snap. The Aggies had 14 plays of 10-plus yards in the half.

3rd Quarter

TEXAS A&M 44, ARKANSAS 10

Tyler Wilson didn’t see the safety and Steven Terrell jumped a route for Cobi Hamilton for his second interception and a 30-yard return, setting up a field goal. The Hogs got a first down and punted. Christine Michael’s 10-yard touchdown run and Tramain Jacobs’ 28-yard fumble return for a score came on back to-back plays to put the Aggies up 44-10. Arkansas drove to the 20, but Zach Hocker missed a 38-yard field goal. Texas A&M’s Taylor Bertolet answered with a 26-yard field goal miss. Freshman Jonathan Williams had a 32-yard gain up the middle for the Hogs.

4th Quarter

TEXAS A&M 58, ARKANSAS 10

Arkansas drove to the 10 before turning it over on downs on Tyler Wilson’s incomplete pass for Cobi Hamilton. That would become the Hogs’ theme for the quarter. Johnny Manziel completed passes of 58 and 30 yards to reach the Arkansas 1, then on third down Manziel looped around several defenders for a 6-yard touchdown run. The Razorbacks drove to the 15 and lost the ball on downs.

Arkansas got to its 28 and turned the ball over on downs. Third-team Texas A&M quarterback Matt Joeckel led a 28-yard scoring drive for the final margin. Wilson took the Razorbacks to the 33 and turned the ball over on downs.
