Haynes King threw for a career-high 364 yards and three long touchdowns to lead No. 6 Texas A&M to a 31-0 win over Sam Houston Saturday in a game that included an almost three-hour weather delay.
King, who was named the starter last week after beating out two others in camp for the job, threw touchdown passes of 66, 63 and 43 yards in the opener for both teams. King also threw two interceptions in an inconsistent performance in his return after breaking his leg in the second game last season.
The sun was out when the suspension began, but heavy rain began to fall about an hour into the delay. The defense made a stop after that, but Kameryn Alexander hopped in front of a receiver to pick off King on A&M's next drive. King returned to the sideline where coach Jimbo Fisher talked to him for a minute before he returned to the bench.
The Bearkats, who won the FCS national title in 2020, are playing their last season in the FCS as they transition to FBS next year. Sam Houston is playing an abbreviated nine-game schedule this year as it transitions and is not eligible for the FCS playoffs as the team prepares to make the jump to college football's top division.
