Texas A&M Aggies 45, Tennessee Volunteers 32

This game was alot closer than the final score indicates. Both defenses were stifling at first, but then both teams managed to find some offensive rhythm. A TD at the end of the first half put the Aggies up 21-17. In the 3rd quarter, both teams played lock-down defense, but after a PERFECT punt by the Vols, McGee was pressured to the back of the Aggie endzone. McGee ran out of bounds to avoid the sack, giving up the safety, and making the score 21-19. McGee once again made magic with his feet, scoring the only touchdown of the quarter and putting the Aggies up 28-19 going into the 4th quarter. Erik Ainge was determined to give the Aggies a fight and launched a 65 yard bomb to make the score 28-26. The Aggies managed to find a way through the stifling Tennessee defense to make it 35-26. Ainge launched another bomb from 42 yards out to make it 35-32 after the Volunteers failed to make the 2pt conversion. Both teams kept each other out of the redzone for a few possessions, with Ainge throwing 2 heartbreaking interceptions, but even then the Vols knew they were not out of it, and the Aggies knew it too. Failing to get into the redzone once again, Matt Szymanski came out onto the field to attempt a 50 yard field goal for the Ags. The ball split the goal posts as the screams of horror rang throughout Neyland Stadium, and the Aggies took a 6-point lead. Still, there was enough time on the clock, too much for the Aggies. Erik Ainge was methodical, and for a moment, as he marched his team down the field to the Aggies' redzone, it seemed as if he would earn himself his 2nd straight 4th quarter comeback, his first being last week at UCLA (25-24 Final). But then all hope was shattered as Ainge threw his 4th pick straight into Arkeith Brown's hands. But instead of running the remaining time off the clock, the Aggies cut through the demoralized Tennessee defense to add one more TD and put the game in the books. McGee was 18 of 35 for 222 yards and 5 TDs and 111 rushing yards and a TD, once again earning Big XII and NCAA Offensive Player of the Week honors. With the win, the Aggies are 2-0 (1-0 Big XII) and have beaten 2 straight Top 25 opponents leading in to their Big XII showdown vs Oklahoma next week. Many are predicting an upset of the Sooners, who's defense is currently ranked #1. Texas A&M's defense is right behind at #2. Who knows? It's happened before. Don't underestimate the 12th Man!
