With the Aggie defense backed into their own end zone, Chris Russell Jr. punched the ball loose from Arkansas’ K.J. Jefferson at the 2-yard line and Tyreek Chappell scooped it up. Chappell ran the ball to the 18-yard line before a quick hand-off to Demani Richardson, who took it 82-yard to score. The Aggies cut into the difference, trailing 14-13 after an unsuccessful point-after-touchdown attempt.

Coming out of the half with momentum, the Fightin’ Texas Aggies took their first lead as Johnson hit Donovan Green for a 26-yard strike, followed by Achane’s 9-yard dash into the end zone. Randy Bond extended the lead to 23-14 with a 31-yard field goal before heading into the final stanza.
The Razorbacks immediately answered with a 13-play, 74-yard drive to make it 23-21, before taking one last shot at the lead, but nailed the top of the goal post to miss 42-yard field goal attempt.
