ARLINGTON, Texas — Arkansas' offense, led by backup quarterback Ben Hicks in the final two-plus quarters, made a number of key plays to give itself a chance to snap a seven-year losing streak to Texas A&M and move past an embarrassing loss to San Jose State in Week 4.
The Razorbacks also made life hard on themselves in the fourth quarter of their 31-27 loss to the No. 23 Aggies in AT&T Stadium.
Arkansas was flagged eight times for 48 yards, and four of those penalties came in the fourth quarter when the Razorbacks had possession. Arkansas cornerback Montaric Brown was also flagged for a holding call that led to a 50-yard Texas A&M field goal to set the final score.
