Texas A&M defeated TCU 29-13 Saturday in a very scrappy and somewhat uneven Red River Conference game.

The victory put A&M at 3-1 and almost guarantees the Aggies will finish 2nd in the conference behind Oklahoma, who finished their conference play in the fall and went 5-0.

TCU, despite going to 0-3, battled hard and were in the game until late. A&M scored two early tries thanks to long periods on the TCU line probing for a gap. But the Horned Frogs, who had kicked an early penalty, came back with a try through the forwards that made it 12-10. A&M scored their prettiest try of the first half when they almost lost a lineout, but then TCU failed to secure the throw, either. The Aggies sent the ball through the hands and good support play led to a pick-and-go try in the corner. TCU added a penalty for a 17-13 halftime lead.

A&M secured their defense a little better but weren't quite firing offensively. Ten minutes into the second half they got a try after a quick tap and a surge ahead. TCU got the ball back but a mistake on their line gave the ball back to A&M, and they scored. Five minutes later they scored again off broken play, and that was it.

A&M finishes their Red River season against Baylor and will want a little tidier performance in that game.
