Sep 10, 2022 | Football
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The No. 6 Texas A&M football team fell to the App State Mountaineers, 17-14, at Kyle Field on Saturday afternoon.
Speedster Devon Achane racked up a season-high 191 all-purpose yards. The junior scored a touchdown on the ground and registered the second kickoff return for a touchdown of his career. Three Aggies recorded double-digit tackles led by Antonio Johnson’s game-high 13.
After a first quarter stalemate, App State (1-1) broke the scoring seal with a 4-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second frame. However, Haynes King and the Aggies (1-1) answered quickly after a career-long 31-yard scamper on the ensuing drive, which was capped off by a 26-yard TD run by Achane that tied the ballgame, 7-7, with 11:38 remining in the first half.

The Mountaineers and Aggies would trade defensive stops well into the third quarter, before App State strung together a six-minute drive that resulted in a touchdown, breaking the tie with 2:34 left in the period.
Once again, the Maroon & White had the answer when Achane took the kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown, knotting the game up at 14-14 heading into the final frame.
This looks familiar?
