COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Todd Pegram kicked a 19-yard field goal in overtime then Lee Foliaki recovered Bobby Purify's fumble, giving Texas A&M a 29-26 win over Colorado on Saturday.
Reggie McNeal's 382 yards of offense led A&M to its sixth consecutive win, its longest streak since 1998, when it won the Big 12 title.
"To have a magical season," Aggies coach Dennis Franchione said, "you have to have a game like this somewhere along the way."
The Buffaloes took a 19-7 lead 3:45 into the third on Joel Klatt's 24-yard pass to Evan Judge. They failed on the two-point conversion.
Two Pegram field goals and Courtney Lewis' 2-yard dive in the fourth gave A&M a 23-19 lead with 4:09 left. Colorado responded with a 13-play, 82-yard drive, highlighted by Dusty Sprague's leaping 34-yard catch. Purify capped the drive with a 1-yard dive to give the Buffs a 26-23 lead.
McNeal responded by leading an 80-yard drive to set up Pegram's 20-yard field goal as time expired.
