Texas A&M 45, West Virginia 37, FINAL

The Texas A&M Aggies (8-5) defeated the West Virginia Mountaineers (7-6) at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee, Saturday evening.

Both teams traded blows in the first half, but the Aggies' rushing game wore down the Mountaineers defense in the second half and allowed A&M to jump out to a lead and maintain it throughout the fourth quarter.

A&M quarterback Kyle Allen played well, throwing for 294 yards and four touchdowns.

WVU's quarterback Skyler Howard replaced senior Clint Trickett, and while he managed to throw for 346 yards and three touchdowns, he also only completed 20 of 45 passes.

The Mountaineers had no rushing game to speak of until the final minutes of the game, and by then it was too late to mount a comeback.

With the win, A&M improves to 8-5 on the season and now has four-straight bowl victories, while WVU falls to 7-6 on the year.
