ARLINGTON, Texas — Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher may have gotten his first SEC win Saturday, but he was in no mood to celebrate after his three-touchdown favorite Aggies had to hold on in the Southwest Classic.
In fact, his team’s 24-17 win over Arkansas before 55,338 at AT&T Stadium came in what the former Florida State coach termed probably his team’s “worst football game of the year by far.”
Texas A&M (3-2, 1-1 SEC) jumped ahead in its seventh straight win in the series when Jashaun Corbin ran the opening kickoff back 100 yards. The Aggies were up 17-0 early in the second quarter before Arkansas (1-4, 0-2) began to fight back.
