This annual SEC matchup again takes place at the home of the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas. Last year Texas A&M won this contest 35-28, but in so doing, they were outrushed by Arkansas 285-137 so I am looking for a similiar outcome this year.

I expect HC Bielema is rebuilding this Arkansas program in that same mold as he did with Wisconsin. Arkansas does, however, have one of the largest OLs in the country. My what I have heard Bielema is going to return to the ground game on Saturday and just keep pounding it and controling the ball in an effort to control the clock and the flow of the game.


With the Hogs off two horrendous performances, we are now getting 2 TDs more from where this line would have been opening week. Although Arkansas (1-2) needs to work on its leaky pass defense, its power offense should find some success against a vulnerable Aggies run defense.

Lost amid the glossy offensive numbers Texas A&M (3-0) has posted thus far is a shaky run defense that gave up 393 combined rushing yards to Ball State and Nevada.

The Razorbacks are capable of pounding the ball downfield and shortening the game with their offense. They gained 285 rushing yards on Texas A&M last year. Look for a close game throughout and Arkansas to pull the upset catching 7.5 points at home.
