Texas A&M is coming into this matchup with a 3-0 record overall, this will be their first conference game of the regular season. This game will be on a neutral site, Texas A&M has played 1 game away from home this year and that one was also on a neutral site as they came away with the win. Their 3 wins this year came against the Kent State Golden Flashes back in their first game, the Colorado Buffaloes on the neutral site, and the New Mexico Lobos in their last game as they shut them out on the scoreboard. Zach Calzada played an alright game in that one as he completed 19/33 passes for 275 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception. The run game had a big day as Isaiah Spiller led the team in rushing with 117 yards and 1 touchdown on 15 carries. No one else did much on the ground in that one. Demond Demas had a nice day for the receiving corps as he led the receivers with 100 yards and 1 touchdown on 2 receptions. Demani Richardson led the defense with 4 solo tackles and 1 assisted one. Demarvin Leal led the team in sacks with 1.5 while Edgerrin Cooper came away with the only interception for his team in that game. They have scored 85 points in their first 3 games and they have allowed their opponents to score 17 points against them. Their offense is averaging 438 YPG while their defense is allowing 239.3 YPG. 

 

 

Arkansas is coming into this college football game with a 3-0 record overall and is 3-0 in their home games this year but this will actually be on a neutral field. This is the first of their conference games on the schedule. Their 3 wins came against the Rice Owls in their first game, the Texas Longhorns, and the Georgia Southern Eagles in their last game. KJ Jefferson played well in that game as he completed 13/23 passes for 366 yards and 3 touchdowns. Dominique Johnson led the team in rushing with 72 yards and 1 touchdown on 5 carries. The receiving corps had a nice day as Treylon Burks led the team in receiving with 127 yards and 1 TD on 3 receptions. There were 3 other players on the team with over 60 yards receiving as well. Jalen Catalon led the defense with 6 solo tackles and 3 assisted ones. Tre Williams led the team in sacks with 1.5 while Markell Utsey also recorded 0.5 sacks. No one on the defense had an interception in this game. They have scored 123 points in their first 3 games and they have allowed their opponents to score 48 points against them. Their offense is averaging 492.3 YPG while their defense is allowing 265.7 YPG. 

 

This should be an exciting game as Arkansas has surprised a lot of people this year already with an upset win over Texas. They have been scoring almost 40 points in every single game they have played this season. Texas A&M has not had as many high scoring games as them but if they come out of the gates and stun them from the start they will have to start throwing the ball more and scoring a lot of points. The total is pretty low in this game and both of these teams have very good offenses that can score a lot. This game will have a lot of points in it so the best bet to make here is on the over.

Texas A&M Aggies: 6-1 ATS as a favorite of 3.5 to 10 points. 14-10 ATS in all games.

Arkansas Razorbacks: 1-3 ATS as an underdog of 3.5 to 10 points. 1-2 ATS after allowing 125 or less passing yards in their last game.

 

 

Texas A&M Aggies:  L. Matthews (OL) Ques Sat - Undisclosed injury. A. Smith (WR) Ques Sat - Concussion injury. H. King (QB) Late Oct - Ankle injury.

Arkansas Razorbacks:  D. Gerald (DL) out for season - Leg injury.

 

 

Texas A&M Aggies: Jalen Wydermyer is one player to watch here. He leads his team in receiving yards and he will need to put on a good show here against a tough Arkansas team. Look for him to make some big catches down the field to give his team some help to win this one.

 

Arkansas Razorbacks: Trelon Smith is one player to watch here. He leads his team in rushing and in touchdowns scored. He is a dangerous player when he has the ball so look for him to break off some big runs in this game and get into the end zone as his team looks for the upset win.

 

“It’s just technique things, little things.” - Head coach Jimbo Fisher on fixing the offensive line for these SEC games now in full swing.

 

 

"I was so proud of Cody and that group, because he had them ready last week. We’re going to go back to that mentality of, ‘All we’ve got is all we need.’ If they can play, we sure as heck want them to, but we’re going to be prepared if they’re not able to." - Sam Pittman on his team playing through injuries with the ‘next man up’ mentality.
