Here are some quick thoughts on Texas A&M’s 35-28 overtime win against Arkansas.

What It Means: The Aggies didn’t play their best and still won a competitive game against an SEC West team.

Texas A&M’s defense is susceptible, as most of us suspected. The offense, which relied on underneath routes and mixing in the run game the first four games, had to unload a few deep passes late in the game to overcome the Razorbacks. The win means the Aggies enter the most difficult portion of the schedule at 5-0, 2-0 in the SEC. But A&M didn’t look much like the No. 6 team in the nation Meanwhile, Arkansas still hasn’t won an SEC game since 2012.

What I Liked: Down two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, the Aggies dodged a few bullets (including a missed field goal), squeaked into overtime and won the game. The Texas A&M defense held Arkansas scoreless for the final 20:02 in regulation and stuffed the Hogs in overtime.

On the last play of overtime, Arkansas needed a short two yards to convert a fourth down. In a power set, A&M’s defensive line knocked back the left side of the offensive line and forced Alex Collins to redirect. Collins missed what looked like a little seam, but it didn’t matter.

Kenny Hill didn’t play well early in the face of pressure, but stayed poised after a fourth-quarter interception and finished the game with two big touchdown passes.

What I Didn’t Like: This could easily be whom instead of what. Armani Watts wet the bed today. Arkansas’ running backs put him on skates on the first two Razorbacks touchdowns. Watts bit on a play fake on zone coverage, leaving a tight end uncovered for another touchdown, but a penalty saved him. Then he allowed Arkansas to break a tackle on another long run that nearly ended in a touchdown, but a penalty saved him again. As the Razorbacks tried to run out the clock, he missed another two tackles.

Josh Reynolds dropped two passes, including one that would’ve been a long touchdown, and then failed to attack the ball on a fourth quarter interception when he was 1-on-1 with the defensive back. But he redeemed himself with the game-tying touchdown.

A&M committed nine penalties and it took more than three quarters for the offense to crack a seemingly-overmatched Arkansas secondary.

Who’s The Man: Edward Pope. His touchdowns of 8 and 86 yards kept A&M within striking distance, and he finished with four catches for 151 yards as Malcome Kennedy didn’t have his best game, Reynolds struggled and Speedy Noil (MCL) returned, but caught just one pass.

Key Play: The stuff on fourth down in overtime that ended the game.

What’s Next: If anything, Texas A&M’s schedule gets more difficult from here. The Aggies go on the road to face Dak Prescott, Benardrick McKinney and Mississippi State next week.
