Jimbo Fisher got the first Southeastern Conference win of his Texas A&M career on Saturday but it didn’t come easy as his Aggies held on for a 24-17 win over Arkansas in Arlington. The result came after safety Donovan Wilson picked off a Ty Storey with just over a minute left on the clock.

Texas A&M gave up only 55 rushing yards, held Arkansas to three of 12 on third downs and outside of two drives on the day, basically shut down the Razorback offense from AT&T Stadium. Arkansas would finish the day with 248 total yards of offense, while Kellen Mond had an off day, finishing with 206 passing yards and no touchdowns and two interceptions.

Immediately after the game, Fisher noted his defense did well but he was not pleased with his offense’s production in the game.

“I think our defense did a good job. They responded. They gave up the one drive, when it was 24-10 but other than that, they did their job,” Fisher said after winning his first SEC game as A&M coach. “They were heroes heros of the game, they did a great job. Offensively, we moved the ball but in the red zone, screw-ups, missed field goals – too many penalties, we are driving and we get a penalty. Too many inconsistent things that good football teams don’t do. We have to grow up and that’s on us coaches. We have to coach so that doesn’t happen. Call the game better and put our players in a better position.”

Here’s what he had to say on the teaching moments he would take from the game:

“Well, you jump out two scores, you back them up, get the ball back and we get a block in the back. Then we throw a pick when you can go up three scores in the first quarter and start to really put pressure on them,” Fisher said. “How to come out in the third quarter. We missed a field goal down there, not just before the half but the other one. We got a penalty, then throw a pick. We aren’t pressing and not understanding how to win, how to play when you are ahead. We’ve done a good job as an underdog, we have to learn how to play from ahead. We don’t have a bad football team, if we just eliminate this silliness and inconsistency.”

What did Fisher tell his defense before the final game-defining stop of the day? He told them to just go out there and do what they have been trained to do.

“Do what we do every day. We work two-minute (situations) to death,” he continued. “We go good-on-good every Thursday. Do what you do and trust your eyes.”
