The Texas A&M Aggies had to scour to earn a win over the Arkansas Razorbacks in the final Southwest Classic matchup at AT&T Stadium, leaning on a strong defense, a quarterback, a running back and a 'brotherhood.'
With an evenly split crowd — Razorbacks on the right side of Arkansas starting quarterback Taylen Green andIf Arkansas scored, screeching "Woo Pig" chants filled the stadium. If a penalty was or wasn't called, hisses did the same. The latter, especially, seemed to happen quite often, much to the chagrin of Aggies coach Mike Elko, who had his fair share of words with the officials throughout the game.
The defense put the game on us," Scourton explained. "That's what it was: lifting our guys up, telling the linebackers and the DBs that it's on us, and we were going to go out and get after the quarterback." He threw for a touchdown on the second drive of the game and matched the Razorbacks right before halftime, but both instances seemed to be flashes in the pan. On drive one, Noah Thomas proved the kind of weapon he could be with some open-space moves that landed him in the end zone.Despite those apparent inconsistencies, however, Elko remains trusting of his quarterback. That was something that never wavered, in the midst of what Scourton called a "dogfight.
Despite some early adversity he faced — Elko cited "different things" along with a play where Moss got banged up — Moss rushed for 117 yards, and looked determined every step of the way.
