10 Texas A&M pulled away late for a 48-20 victory over Arizona State Saturday. COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Marcel Reed had three touchdown passes and the defense scored twice in the fourth quarter as No.
But A&M’s T.J. Tyler White fumbled before a punt later in the fourth and Arizona State recovered on the Texas A&M 34. Searcy hit Cutter Boley as he threw on the next play and 261-pound defensive end Marco Jones grabbed the ball and rumbled 55 yards for the score. A&M led 41-20 later in the fourth when Julio Humphrey intercepted Boley and returned it 45 yards for another score . Texas A&M’s offense struggled to get going and was inconsistent at times, with Reed going 15 of 25 for 163 yards with an interception before the defense turned this game into a blowout. The Aggies regained the lead when Reed found Horton wide open in the end zone for a 4-yard score with about nine minutes left in the second.
Lyrik Rawls made a diving interception on Reed’s first throw of the second half and the Sun Devils added a field goal on the ensuing drive to cut the lead to 17-13.
