A&M’s Noil and Reynolds suspended against Western Carolina

Former starter Kyle Allen also got a few reps in the fourth quarter and was a ideal 6-of-6 for 88 yards and a touchdown.

What this loss means for Western Carolina: Give credit to the Catamounts.

According to reports, Texas A&M has suspended two players ahead of tonight’s game against Western Carolina in College Station, Texas. The Aggies took a one-score edge into the halftime locker room, 21-14, after the first of Kirk’s receiving scores. A&M has the home field advantage for today’s contest.

Kirk fumbled the kickoff after that score and Avery Worsham picked it up and returned it 11 yards for a touchdown to tie it at 14.

Newsome ran straight up the middle for 65 yards on Western Carolina’s first play on the next possession.

“We had two freak plays”, Sumlin said.

A couple of less heralded receivers, Jeremy Tabuyo and Damion Ratley, will get their chance for a little more playing time than usual, thanks to the suspensions of Speedy Noil and Josh Reynolds announced on Saturday. They’ll try to get back on track against an FCS opponent, and hope it then carries over to the final two SEC games. Noil is sixth on the team in receiving yardage, catching 14 passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns of his own.
