Texas A&M humbled

Associated Press

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Reggie Arnold ran for 145 yards and Arkansas State ruined Mike Sherman’s debut as Texas A&M’s coach with a stunning 18-14 win over the Aggies at Kyle Field on Saturday night.

The Red Wolves won for the first time in 15 games against Big 12 opponents and snapped A&M’s 20-game winning streak in home openers. The Aggies hadn’t dropped a home opener since a 17-3 loss to LSU in 1987.

A&M hired Sherman, the former coach of the Green Bay Packers, last November, less than a week after Dennis Franchione resigned following the season finale against Texas.
