Live In-Game Updates: FINAL: Texas A&M 23, Arkansas 21

The Aggies will face their first SEC test of the season in Arlington at AT&T Stadium

The No. 23 Texas A&M Aggies head into AT&T Stadium in Arlington against the No. 10 Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday night, hoping to get off to a good start in SEC play.

Last season, the Aggies fell short against the Razorbacks 20-10, in one of the uglier games the team has had offensively under Jimbo Fisher. 

However, the Aggies look to be a different team this year, led by new starting quarterback Max Johnson, who took over for Haynes King following Texas A&M's upset loss to Appalachian State in Week 2. 

The Aggies (2-1) enter the game coming off a hard-fought 17-9 win over Miami (FL), a battle of two ranked teams. The victory allowed the Aggies to slide up one spot in the AP Top 25. Meanwhile, Arkansas (3-0, 1-0 in SEC), which needed a little push at the end to beat Missouri State, already has an SEC win under its belt after beating South Carolina two weeks ago.

Arkansas 7, Texas A&M 0

- A delay of game and sack pushed A&M into a second-and-21 look. Max Johnson gains 12 yards back on a third-and-13 scramble, but Fisher elects to punt. Another three-and-out for A&M. The Razorbacks begin the drive on their own 22. 

TOUCHDOWN RAZORBACKS: Two first down runs set up a 56-yard touchdown pass from Jefferson to Hogs' receiver Warren Thompson for the touchdown. The Razorbacks take a two-score lead at the midway point of the first quarter. 

Arkansas 14, Texas A&M 0

- A first-down conversion was negated by an illegal shift, leading to another three-and-out by A&M's offense. The Razorbacks will began their drive at their own 24-yard line, but quickly went three-and-out before punting. A&M begins at its 34-yard line. 

- A fourth possession for A&M ended with a fourth three-and-out. Johnson tried to connect with receiver Ainias Smith on third down but tight coverage from the Hogs forced an incompletion. The Razorbacks begin at their 20-yard line. 

SECOND QUARTER: Arkansas 14, Texas A&M 0

- The Razorbacks put together a 10-play, 46-yard drive that got them to the A&M 39-yard line. But apparently for Arkansas coach Sam Pittman, this was too far for a field-goal attempt, as the Hogs punted. The Aggies were now pinned at their own seven-yard line. 

-From the shadow of A&M's own goal line, running back Devon Achane took the first play of the next drive 63 yards down to the Arkansas 30-yard line, giving the Aggies their first first down of the game on a huge run. 

TOUCHDOWN AGGIES: Faced with pressure, Johnson threw a high-flyer on third down that fell into the waiting arms of Stewart for a 10-yard touchdown. 

Arkansas 14, Texas A&M 7

- The Razorbacks had six of seven touches go to Jefferson and running back Raheim Sanders before Arkansas went for it on fourth with a Jefferson quarterback draw.

TOUCHDOWN AGGIES: Craziness! Jefferson tried to a dive over the pile on the goal line but fumbled, as Aggies defensive back Tyreek Chappell recovered the ball. Demani Richardson took the handoff from Chappell before he was tackled and returned it for an 81-yard touchdown. The extra point was botched, as Arkansas' lead remained at 14-13. 

-Arkansas quickly went three-and-out on its next possession, unable to snatch back the momentum that the Aggies now had.

- The Aggies tried to get into field-goal range before half, but were a bit too far out. Johnson tried a hail-mary attempt to the end zone, but he was pressured right off the snap and had to throw it away as the final seconds of the first half ticked away. 

HALFTIME: Arkansas 14, Texas A&M 13

TOUCHDOWN AGGIES: On the opening drive of the second half, A&M put together a seven-play, 70-yard drive that was capped off by Achane running it in for a nine-yard touchdown.

Texas A&M 23, Arkansas 14

- The Razorbacks offense continued to stall, as they punted after just five plays. 

- The Aggies began their next drive with a 13-yard run from Achane, but the drive fell apart after that. What looked to be a painful leg injury to Ainias Smith didn't help either. 

TOUCHDOWN ARKANSAS: The Razorbacks put together a 13-play, 74-yard drive that saw 11 plays go for runs. Jefferson strolled into the end zone for a six-yard touchdown to end the drive.

Texas A&M 23, Arkansas 21

The Razorbacks put together what seemed to be a go-ahead drive that took up nine plays and five minutes. The Aggies nearly got the ball back on a bobbled snap by Jefferson. 

But Arkansas kicker Cam Little hit the top of the right upright on the potential go-ahead 42-yard field goal. The Aggies kept a 23-21 lead with 1:30 left in the fourth.
