COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS - NOVEMBER 26: Donovan Green #18 of the Texas A&M Aggies makes a reception for a touchdown against the LSU Tigers during the first half at Kyle Field on November 26, 2022 in College Station, Texas. COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M finally got its act together on offense – just in time for its season to end.

Take Saturday night, when the Aggies defied the odds in what amounted to their bowl game in this otherwise adrift season. A&M , which is ineligible for a bowl because of its losing record, wound up with bookend victories in Southeastern Conference play – with six setbacks in between. Saturday’s turning point occurred midway through the third quarter, when A&M linebacker Edgerrin Cooper forced a fumble by LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels, and A&M safety Demani Richardson scooped up the ball and returned it 27 yards for an abrupt 24-17 A&M lead.

The Aggies were greatly aided by the return of dynamic running back Devon Achane, who in the first half alone rushed for 119 yards on 18 carries, in averaging 6.6 yards per carry over the first two quarters against one of the SEC’s better defenses under first-year coach Brian Kelly.
