FAYETTEVILLE -- The Arkansas Razorbacks prevented passes from getting over their heads, controlled the run game between the tackles and played tighter pass coverage Saturday.
The result was one of the best defensive performances of the season for the University of Arkansas in a 31-27 loss to No. 23 Texas A&M.
Texas A&M quarterback Kellen Mond managed 251 passing yards on 23 of 35 completions. The Razorbacks picked him off once and sacked him four times.
The Aggies had 89 rushing yards -- the second lowest allowed by Arkansas this season -- and averaged 2.7 yards per carry.
