Arkansas Football: Over/Under Against A&M
Despite a tough loss to Alabama on the road last weekend, the Razorbacks can bounce right back with a huge victory over a soon-to-be divisional foe, Texas A&M.
The Aggies possess a challenge to a nicked up defense of Arkansas that will be hobbling a bit into this matchup.
However, Pig Sooey comes into this game with a great chance to pull off the victory. We are going to play a little game I like to call "Over/Under" on many stats, facts, opinions and predictions on this Saturday's game.
100 Yards for Cyrus Gray: Over or Under?
1 of 5Cyrus Gray is known as one of the elite backs in the nation, but he is struggling a bit this season for his standards. He is averaging just 89 yards per game, which is just 49th in the nation individually.
Arkansas must be able to avoid getting gashed and keep him trapped in the backfield all game long. Plus, the return of Jake Bequette (gametime decision) would certainly be a huge boost. With or without him, it is up to the interior of the line to make an impact. DeQuinta Jones, Byran Jones and Alfred Davis must get great push against a talented Aggies backfield.
Drama's Call: Over
275 Yards for Tyler Wilson: Over or Under?
2 of 5Can Tyler Wilson throw for over 275 yards? He is averaging just 251 a game ranking 34th in the nation, but he has arguably the best receiving corps in the nation.
Spreading the wealth with Joe Adams, Greg Childs, Cobi Hamilton and Jarius Wright, all are capable of busting a few long gains against an Aggies secondary that ranks 109th against the pass.
As long as Arkansas can get a little bit of a running game going, they should be able to slowly torch the secondary of A&M.
Drama's Call: Over
Turnover Battle Is Even: Over or Under?
3 of 5Both teams have been awful at causing turnovers. The Aggies have forced just three, and Arkansas has only forced two on defense.
Offensively, the Razorbacks have turned it over eight times and A&M has coughed it up six times. This will be a critical matchup where the team that wins the turnover battle should come out on top (no-brainer).
Ryan Tannehill has thrown four picks to Wilson's three. Dallas Cowboys Stadium, also known as Jerry's Place, has been a place to forget for the Aggies.
Tannehill threw three interceptions against LSU in the Cotton Bowl last season. To make matters worse the Razorbacks secondary (61st) is allowing just 213 yards a game, so I would expect a few opportunistic turnovers that will change the game in favor of Arkansas.
Drama's Call: Over (Arkansas Plus One or More)
100 Yards Rushing for Arkansas: Over or Under?
4 of 5The loss of Knile Davis is starting to show up; however the incredible return of Broderick Green may come true this weekend perhaps. He suited up last weekend against Alabama though he did not play.
“Broderick will play this year,” Petrino said. “He’s amazing how quickly he’s came back from it. He’s been cleared by the doctors. He’s actually been getting practice in for three weeks. This week was his first time full-go. He’ll certainly play.”
Well, I will be darned because nobody on this planet really gave the kid a chance, and what an impact he could make down the road and possibly as soon as Saturday.
Ronnie Wingo Jr., Dennis Johnson, Kody Walker and De'Anthony Curtis have been doing their best, though it is not good enough thus far in the season.
The group has only averaged 132 yards a game, which is only good enough for 79th in the nation. I look for these guys to put together a fine performance against an Aggies front seven that has been slow at times, and all it takes is one long run from somebody to get over that 100-yard plateau.
Drama's Call: Over
Texas A&M by 2.5: Over or Under?
5 of 5The Aggies come into this game as slight favorites, so I simply ask if the Aggies will come out victorious?
Texas A&M better get use to this building and this Arkansas squad since they will be playing each other every season in the SEC West most likely.
Both of these offenses are explosive but have had some struggles from their signal-callers. Whoever gets the running game going may have an edge offensively, but overall this game will come down to who shows up defensively.
If Jake Bequette can make a decent impact, I will going with the Razorbacks going away. Even without him, I have to go with the team from the better conference, the SEC. In neutral field games, the Aggies have struggled mightily getting outscore by 76 points against their last four SEC opponents (Arkansas twice, Georgia and LSU).
