Trayveon Williams – Noteworthy
Trayveon Williams ran for 167 yards and two touchdowns to lead Texas A&M to a 41-20 win over UAB on Saturday night to snap the Blazers’ school-record eight-game winning streak. Kellen Mond threw two touchdown passes to Jace Sternberger as the Aggies (7-4) got their second straight win after losing their previous two games. UAB (9-2), which clinched their first Conference USA West division title last week, lost for the first time since Sept. 8 in a mistake-filled game which included two interceptions by Tyler Johnston, a fumble returned for a touchdown, three missed field goals and a blocked extra point. Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher was disappointed that his team allowed more than 300 yards passing and that the Blazers were 10 of 16 on third down conversions. “It was a good solid game but we need to play better,” he said. “We don’t need to give up that many yards and give up that many third down conversions. So we’ve got to keep learning to play the passes better and get some more rush and get better.” – AP College Football
