- Texas A&M football moves up in AP Top 25 after win over Arizona State
After a dominant 48-20 win over Arizona State at Kyle Field on Saturday, Texas A&M has been moved up one spot in the AP Top 25 entering Week 3.
The Aggies had another sloppy first half, but quickly turned things around to boat race the Sun Devils in College Station. Texas A&M's Marco Jones and Julio Humphrey both recorded pick-sixes in the second half that put the game out of reach, while the offense slowly found its rhythm. Junior quarterback Marcel Reed threw for 163 yards, three touchdowns and just one interception.
