COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -- Jerrod Johnson threw a touchdown pass and Texas A&M stopped Army on a late fourth down in a 21-17 win over the Black Knights today.

Stephen McGee started at quarterback and threw a touchdown pass to Jeff Fuller before leaving in the second quarter when he re-injured his shoulder. The senior first sprained his shoulder against New Mexico on Sept. 6 and sat out last week's 41-23 loss to Miami.

Army's triple-option offense flustered A&M all day, but the Aggies stopped Collin Mooney on a fourth-and-3 from the Army 47 with 3:58 left. A&M (2-2) ran out the clock from there to win for the first time in three home games this season.

Tony Dace and Patrick Mealy had touchdown runs for the Black Knights (0-4), who've lost 10 straight games and 12 in a row on the road. Quarterback Chip Bowden rushed 34 times for 128 yards. Army ran for 280 yards and converted 10 of 17 third downs.

The Aggies looked sloppy and sluggish until defensive end Paul Freeney returned Bowden's fumble 58 yards for a touchdown in the closing seconds of the first half to break a 7-7 tie.

Freshman Cyrus Gray broke a 60-yard run on A&M's first play after halftime to set up Johnson's 11-yard touchdown pass to Jamie McCoy.
