DALLAS--The Aggies drove through the Seminoles' defense with surprising ease in the early going and appeared poised to take the lead on their first possession when Greg Hill sprinted 39 yards toward the endzone. But Hill fumbled the ball out of the endzone as he was hit at the two-yard line and the Seminoles were awarded possession on their own one-yard line. A&M's Quentin Coryatt sacked FSU quarterback Casey Weldon for a safety on the next play, but that's all the scoring the Aggies could muster.
Two possessions later, A&M dropped a sure scoring pass in the endzone. In the second quarter, safety Chris Crooms returned an interception 42 yards for an apparent touchdown, but Crooms had stepped out of bounds at the 26-yard line.
FSU's potent offense could manage just 10 points and 280 yards against A&M's No. 1-ranked defense, but the Aggies could gain just 180 yards against the Seminoles. Crooms intercepted Weldon twice and was named the game's top defensive player.
