Overview

• The Razorbacks dropped to 2-5 (0-3 SEC) with a 45-42 loss in Fayetteville in Petrino’s first home game as interim head coach.
• Arkansas’ defense forced just two punts, allowed seven scoring drives, gave up three fourth-down conversions that became touchdowns, and produced zero sacks as A&M rushed for 217 yards.
• Arkansas out-gained Texas A&M 527-497 and scored 42 points, but the Aggies answered with a touchdown every time the deficit was cut to one score.
• Quarterback Taylen Green returned from a midgame injury to go 19-of-32 for 256 yards and three passing touchdowns with no interceptions, adding 86 rushing yards and two scores.
• Petrino called it a “team loss” and emphasized shared responsibility, as the defeat extended a season-long pattern of one-possession setbacks following narrow losses to Ole Miss, Memphis and Tennessee against an undefeated, fourth-ranked A&M.
