SMU Vs. Texas A&M Score: Aggies In Control At Halftime, 33-14

Early in the second quarter, the SMU Mustangs had been down by just six points, 20-14, but two late touchdowns by the Aggies have them comfortably in control at halftime, 33-14. The Mustangs' early turnovers put them down in an early hole that they are still trying to dig out of.

Kyle Padron started at quarterback for SMU, but after throwing two interceptions on his first two drives, head coach June Jones had enough. The Aggies converted both of those interceptions into rushing touchdowns. J.J. McDermott stepped on the field for the Mustangs' third drive and led the team to a touchdown. Zach Line, though, took over the offense on the final two plays, rushing 27 yards to set up his one-yard touchdown play.

The Aggies came up with another touchdown late in the first quarter, Cyrus Gray's second of the game. However, the extra point was blocked, leading to an ultimately futile return by the Mustangs. McDermott brought the game to within six points, 20-14, with a 27-yard pass just seconds into the second quarter.

The Aggies tightened up after that and put two more touchdowns on the board. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill had a 28-ayrd touchdown pass to Ryan Swope while Christine Michael found his way into the end zone for his second rushing touchdown of the game. Randy Bullock missed the extra point on that last extra point attempt.
