ARLINGTON, Texas -- The University of Arkansas has suffered back-to-back losses to San Jose State and Texas A&M, but the losses hardly look the same.
Arkansas fought the No. 23 Aggies to the final seconds before Texas A&M got a fourth-down stop at its 19 to hang on for a 31-27 victory on Saturday at AT&T Stadium.
The Aggies came into the game as 231/2-point favorites after the Razorbacks (2-3, 0-2 SEC) lost to San Jose State 31-24 at home the previous week.
San Jose State came into its game at Arkansas as a 20-point underdog because of a 4-23 record since 2017, but the Spartans went home with their first victory over an SEC team in seven tries, along with a $1.
