Kenny Hill vs. Arkansas: Stat Line, Highlights, Twitter Reaction

Kenny Hill took another step toward securing his place in Texas A&M football history at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday as he led the Aggies to a comeback win over the Arkansas Razorbacks 35-28 in overtime. 

After what could be described as a pedestrian performance for three quarters, the super sophomore showcased the most important quarterback quality of them all—moxie. After throwing an interception with 9:34 left in the final frame, Hill took it upon himself to rally the Aggies, per TexAgs:

It was a promise he was prepared to deliver. With the Razorbacks unable to run out the clock, Hill connected with Edward Pope and Josh Reynolds on touchdown passes of 86 and 59 yards, respectively, to force the game into a 28-28 tie. 

Then, as if that weren't clutch enough, he found Malcome Kennedy from 25 yards out to go up 35-28 on the first play of overtime, as noted by CBS Sports:

Here's a look at Hill's stat line from the gutsy performance:

Comp.	Att.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush Yards
21	41	386	4	1	30

There are holes to poke in that stat line, sure. You'd like to see Hill's completion percentage be much higher than the 51.2 percent he posted against Arkansas. However, as Sports Illustrated pointed out, the second half set up nicely for Hill to have a Heisman moment, and he didn't back down:

Of course, for how great Hill is, as long as he wears the maroon of the Aggies, he'll be compared with his predecessor. Johnny Manziel was on hand to give the sophomore some encouragement, per Mark Passwaters of Rivals.com:

Sports Illustrated also noted the slight similarities between Hill and Johnny Football. The new Aggies quarterback might not tuck and run as much as the former Heisman winner, but he showed he could make things happen with his feet when he has to:

It might be a little early to be giving Hill legitimate Heisman hype just yet. We aren't even to the halfway point of the season, and he will be tested by three ranked teams in his next three games. But if Hill is able to continue putting up performances like this with the game on the line, it's hard to imagine he'll leave College Station without a Heisman campaign on his resume.
