Texas A&M falls to Auburn More Southwest
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Nick Marshall accounted for four scores and No. 24 Auburn battered Johnny Manziel in a 45-41win over No. 7 Texas A&M on Saturday.
Tre Mason’s 5-yard score with less than two minutes to play was first placed at the1, but it was reviewed and ruled a touchdown.
A&M(5-2, 2-2 SEC) had a last chance, but Manziel, the Heisman Trophy winner, was sacked by Dee Ford on fourth down to secure the win.
Manziel threw for 454 yards and four touchdowns and ran for a fifth score, but was intercepted twice. He missed a series in the fourth quarter with an apparent injury to his right arm or shoulder. He returned but was constantly moving his right arm.
Marshall threw for 236 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 100 yards and two more scores for Auburn (6-1, 3-1), which lost 63-21 to the Aggies last season.
Texas A&M’s Mike Evans had a school-record 287 yards receiving with four touchdowns to become the first player in school history to have two 200yard receiving games in a career. He scored on receptions of 26, 64, 42 and 33 yards.
Manziel was injured when he was tackled on an 8-yard run early in the fourth quarter.
He got up after the tackle and then went to the ground before he reached the A&M sideline. A&M officials looked at him for a couple of minutes on the turf before he got up and walked off on his own power.
He was replaced by Matt Joeckel, who threw an incomplete pass on third down, and A&M settled for a 20-yard field goal to push the lead to 34-24.
In a game with offensive fireworks, Taysom Hill hit Cameron Ridley for an 11-yard touchdown pass for BYU (5-2) to claim a 47-46 comeback road win over host Houston (5-1). Hill led BYU 41yards to the winning touchdown and Alani Fua iced the game, intercepting John O’Korn to end Houston’s hopes.
