As Arkansas football licks their wounds from another loss, the Hogs move on to face the Aggies of New Mexico State this Saturday.

It’s been a long week for Arkansas as they look forward to New Mexico State. The Razorbacks lost another must-win game this past week but there’s no time to grieve in the Natural State.

At first glance, the game may look like an easy cupcake. Unfortunately for Arkansas, nothing is a gimme. I say that because Razorback faithful have seen that sometimes, the cupcake can be too much for a team not hungry enough for the win.

Under Bret Bielema, Arkansas has dropped more than their fair share of games that analysts and fans thought for sure they had. One game that comes to mind is the Razorbacks loss to Toledo in 2015. The 16-12 loss was gut-wrenching for Arkansas fans.

Although it shouldn’t, Saturday is going to be a test for Arkansas in some ways. It will be a gameday where big things have to happen for Bielema and the Razorbacks. Here are my three bold predictions for what’s to come.
