Kenny Hill threw for 386 yards and four touchdowns, with a 25-yarder to Malcome Kennedy on the first play of overtime, and sixth-ranked Texas A&M rallied from a two-touchdown deficit to beat Arkansas 35-28 in Southeastern Conference action on Saturday in Arlington, Texas.
The Aggies (5-0, 2-0 SEC) trailed 28-14 going into the fourth quarter before Hill threw two long scoring passes – 86 yards to Edward Pope and 59 yards to Josh Reynolds, the latter with 2:08 left only two plays after Arkansas (3-2, 0-2) missed a field goal.
