drive, including a 22-yard toss to
split end Percy Waddle that almost
went for a touchdown. A&M faced a
second-and-ten from its own 43-
yard line, when all hopes of an Aggie
miracle faded.
Pavlas lofted a high pass to tight
end Mike Jones on the right sideline,
but Arkansas cornerback Anthoney
Cooney outjumped Jones for the in
terception that seemed to seal the
Razorbacks’ victory.
Pavlas, who finished the day 16-
of-23 for 190 yards, one touchdown
and two interceptions, took com
plete blame for the play.
“I saw (the blitz) coming and I was
just trying to get it out of bounds,”
Pavlas said. “But I hung it too high
and the wind kind of knocked it back
in. It’s just my fault. We were
looking pretty good on that last
drive until that last play.”
But A&M’s defense stiffened to
give Pavlas one more chance to sal-

against Texas.”
So what’s left for A&M?
A trip to El Paso for the John
Hancock (Sun) Bowl on Dec. 30, and
the Texas game Saturday.
The A&M-Texas rivalry is ar
guably the most heated in the South
west, and usually determines the
SWC’s Cotton Bowl represenative,
but it won’t this season. With the
Cotton Bowl out of reach, will the
Texas game still be important to the
Aggies?
Tight end Mike Jones and flanker
Shane Garrett think so.
"We don’t want to lose,” Jones
said. “We’re going to go out like
we’re going to the Cotton Bowl and
take it from there.
“It won’t be tough to get up for
Texas. That’s always a big game.”
Garett said, “Texas is Texas.
We’re going td be ready for them
e ven though we lost.”
vage the game. The Razorbacks
gained one yard on three plays to set
up a fourth down with 30 seconds
remaining.
Hatfield decided to make punter
Allen Meacham run into the end-
zone for the intentional safety, mak
ing the score 23-22.
“There was no question about tak
ing the safety,” Hatfield said. “We
didn’t want them to have a chance to
block a kick, and since we would
have had to protect against the block
there was a chance they could have
had a good return and been in good
enough field position to kick a field
goal.”
After an Arkansas free kick and a
23-yard Horton return, A&M took
over at its own 46-yard line with 28
seconds remaining. Pavlas and the
Aggies came on field, hoping for
some kind of a desperation pass that
might save the garpe.
But they never got the chance.
Pavlas fumbled the snap on first
down, and time ran out as the Razor-
backs stripped the ball away from

The Aggies will be led by se
nior guard Tony Milton, a proba
ble All-Tournament selection.
Through two games, he is the
tournament’s leading scorer with
53 points. He is also second in the
tournament in assists.

him on the next play.
“There must have been some kind
of miscommunication (on that last
play),” said A&M running back
Keith McAfee, who filled in for the
injured Darren Lewis most of the
fourth quarter. “The receivers were
lined up on the wrong side, Lance
fumbled the ball — it was supposed
to be a Hail Mary, but it never got
off.”
Arkansas jumped to a quick 14-0
lead in the first quarter, bringing the
A&M crowd to an eerie silence. The
Razorbacks drove 80 yards on their
first possession to go up 7-0 after a
25-yard touchdown scamper by Gro
vey.
The Aggies hoped to respond,
but, as it appeared to have been all
day, they were on the wrong end of a
lucky break. Pavlas threw a short
pass to Lewis, but the running back
tipped the ball up as he was trying to
bring it down. Arkansas linebacker

Saturday night 87-75. A&M shot
only 40 percent from the field
and were six-of-24 from three-
point range. Milton was the Ag
gies’ high scorer with 27 points
and seven assists.
“They came out more ready to
play than we did,” Metcalf said.
“You’ve got to like Michigan St.
—they’re strong and they play
hard. We didn’t play as good as
we did against Connecticut.
“We definitely have some
things to go home to work on.
This is a young ball club.”

through two attempted tackles to
put the Razorbacks up by 14.
However, Slocum and the Aggies
didn’t panic. A&M’s defense stiff
ened, and after being overpowered
by Arkansas’ running attack in the
first quarter, it shut down Grovey
and let the Aggies develop some of
fensive continuity.
“We knew we could drive on
them, it was just a matter of control
ling the ball,” said Jones, who led the
Aggies with seven catches for 74
yards and one touchdown. “We
didn’t think they could stop us. All
along in our minds, we knew we
could come back. Time just ran out.”
The Aggies closed the score to 17-
14 in the second quarter after Pavlas’
27-yard touchdown pass to Jones.
A&M held Arkansas scoreless
again in the third period and added
a Layne Talbot field goal to tie the
game 17-17 at the end of the fourth
quarter.
