Texas A&M Beats UNC in Orange Bowl, Continues SEC Hot Streak

Published|Updated

Texas A&M beat North Carolina 41-27 in the Orange Bowl tonight. The Aggies impressively put up 24 points in the fourth quarter. The turning point in the game came when freshman running back Devon Achane, in for Isaiah Spiller who got hurt, scampered for a 76-yard touchdown to give A&M a 34-27 lead. Achane would add another TD in the fourth quarter to ice it.

The SEC continued its hot streak, as the conference is now 6-2 in bowl games with the national title game between Alabama and Ohio State pending. Here are the SEC's results:

Rose Bowl: Alabama 31, Notre Dame 14.
Cotton Bowl: Oklahoma 55, Florida 20
Armed Forces Bowl: Mississippi State 28, Tulsa 26
Peach Bowl: Georgia 24, Cincinnati 21
Citrus Bowl: Northwestern 35, Auburn 19
Gator Bowl: Kentucky 23, NC State 21
Outback Bowl: Ole Miss 26, Indiana 20

The ACC, meanwhile, went 0-6 this bowl season. It's been a rough week for them.

Texas A&M had a great season. Their only loss came to Alabama in the second week of the year. Jimbo Fisher appears to have things headed in the right direction there.
