FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Tyler Wilson earned his first signature victory as Arkansas’ quarterback and may very well have saved the Razorbacks’ season in a 42-38 win over Texas A&M on Saturday.

Wilson threw for a school-record 510 yards and No. 10 Arkansas (4-1) overcame an 18-point halftime deficit. Jarius Wright also set a school record with 281 yards receiving on 13 catches to help the Razorbacks rebound from a loss at Alabama.

The loss marked the second straight second-half collapse for No. 24 Texas A&M (2-2), which blew a 20-3 halftime lead against Oklahoma State the week before and lost 30-29. It also dropped the Southeastern Conference-bound Aggies to 0-7 against its future SEC colleagues since the inception of the Big 12.
