50 Games as a member of the SEC when Texas A&M takes the field against Vanderbilt on Saturday. Aggies Kicker Tyler Bertolet was successful in six of his seven attempts at the uprights scoring 19 points for Texas A&M.
Teams from Texas shut out Vanderbilt 59-0 this season, including Houston’s 34-0 win over the Commodores on Halloween.
That tied for the second longest TD pass in Texas A&M history. Ralph Webb led the Commodores with 79 rushing yards and Dallas Rivers got 30 yards on a pair of back-to-back first-half runs, but that was about it for the offense. Texas A&M has a 4-3 record against the SEC East. Texas A&M has a 35-14 record since joining the SEC. That carried over to the Vanderbilt contest, A&M’s first game in history in Nashville, at least when the Aggies needed a few big plays.
Facing a third-and-9 from his 5 with just over two minutes left in the first half, Allen found Reynolds behind cornerback Torren McGaster down the right sideline, threw a flawless strike, and the junior easily won a foot-race to the end zone to put A&M up, 13-0.
Texas A&M Aggies scored 32.1 points compared to allowed 24.6 points with point differential of 7.5.
The Dores defense held the Aggies out of the endzone, but not out of field goal range.
The Aggies improved on their regular-season victory total from a year ago (7-5, which improved to 8-5 with a Liberty Bowl win over West Virginia), with a final regular-season game to go at backpedaling LSU on this coming Saturday night. Texas A&M had 583 yards in the game – 304 rushing and 279 passing.
