No. 5 Texas A&M escapes with 10-7 win over Colorado

By ARNIE STAPLETON - AP Sports Writer

Backup quarterback Zach Calzada overcame a slow start to lead the fifth-ranked Texas A&M Aggies past the Colorado Buffaloes 10-7. Calzada replaced starter Haynes King, who injured his right leg in the first quarter and spent the rest of the day in a walking boot and on crutches. Calzada completed just 18 of 38 passes for 183 yards, but the big throw was an 18-yard touchdown toss to running back Isaiah Spiller with 2:41 remaining that gave the Aggies their first lead. The Buffs came up just short of their first win over a top-five team since 2007.
