BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas –Freshman Conner Weigman’s four touchdown passes and 338 yards through the air in his first career start weren’t enough as the Aggies fell to No. 15 Ole Miss, 31-28, Saturday night at Kyle Field. Devon Achane added 138 rushing yards, while Moose Muhammad III racked up 112 yards receiving to eclipse the century mark in the same game for the second this season and highlight the Texas A&M’s offensive efforts.
Texas A&M found the end zone early as Weigman registered his first career touchdown pass after connecting with Moose Muhammad III for a 3-yard strike. The Aggies continued to push the tempo, taking their first lead of the game with a one-handed, 15-yard touchdown catch by Evan Stewart, making it 14-7 in the first quarter.
Ole Miss answered with 17 points of its own before Weigman recorded his third touchdown pass of the night, hitting Noah Thomas with a 2-yard toss. The score marked the first career touchdown reception for Thomas as the Aggies trailed, 24-21, in the fourth quarter.
After a quick Ole Miss answer, the Aggies drove the length of the field as Weigman found Achane on a 7-yard touchdown pass, his fourth of the game, to make it 31-28 with 1:25 left on the clock.
The Aggie defense forced a three-and-out on the ensuing drive, providing one last chance with :54 seconds remaining. The Maroon & White failed to convert on the final opportunity after turning it over on downs.
McKinnley Jackson led the Aggie defense with a career-high 12 tackles, while Bryce Anderson added eight takedowns and Tyreek Chappell and Andre White Jr. each added six.
