Freshman Kyle Allen threw for 106 yards and a touchdown in his first career start and Texas A&M held on for a 21-16 win over Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday.
Allen, who had two turnovers, started in place of Kenny Hill, who was suspended for two games for violating team rules and athletic department polices. The suspension was announced about an hour before the game.
The Aggies (6-3) led 21-10 at halftime but couldn't get anything going offensively in the second half. The Warhawks scored the only points of the second half on a pair of field goals.
Texas A&M bounced back from an embarrassing 59-0 loss to Alabama and snapped a three-game skid with the victory.
Pete Thomas threw for 246 yards and Justin Manton made three field goals for Louisiana-Monroe (4-4).
