Fourth Quarter
Texas settled for a field goal to start the fourth quarter. This extended their lead to eight points. The Aggies mounted another long drive (9 plays, 67 yards, 05:13 in time of possession) and advanced to the UT 10 but McGee fumbled the ball over to Texas. Texas drove the ball to their 45 yard line but their drive stalled and they punted the ball. A&M's Carpenter fumbled and UT took over at the A&M 23. They were only able to advance to the 16 yard line and then they attempted a field goal; but Pino's kick was wide right and the Aggies got the ball back on their 20. Their drive resulted in a punt back to Texas. The Horns moved down to the A&M 12 before again being stopped by the Aggie defense. Once again they sent in David Pino for a field goal and this time the kick was good, making the score Texas 40, Texas A&M 29 with 2:22 left in the game.
The Aggies got the ball on their 23 and made it as far as the 30 before being pushed back to their 28. They turned the ball over on downs. Texas took a knee three times to end the game. The final score was Texas 40, Texas A&M 29.

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or quarter:
“July 4. Statistics show that we lose more fools on this day than in all the other days of the year put together. This proves, by the number left in stock, that one Fourth of July per year is now inadequate, the country has grown so.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“American family life has never been particularly idyllic. In the nineteenth century, nearly a quarter of all children experienced the death of one of their parents.... Not until the sixties did the chief cause of separation of parents shift from death to divorce.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
