Yet again, Texas A&M and Arkansas will face off at AT&T Stadium at the house that Jerry Jones built in Arlington, Texas. Jones, a graduate of Arkansas, hasn’t seen his alma mater win the annual rivalry game in Arlington since 2011. He’s hoping to see that change in 2018 as the Aggies have won six straight.

Will this be the year Arkansas finally ends that drought in the rivalry and makes things more competitive?

Unfortunately for Chad Morris and Jones, it won’t happen in 2018. The Aggies will have just too much talent left over from Kevin Sumlin and a coach in Jimbo Fisher who can utilize it. Nick Starkel is going to have a strong game through the air as Arkansas fans will begin to wonder at this point, “What’s wrong with this defense?”

Trayveon Williams will add insult to injury with over 100 yards rushing, but Cole Kelley will have a decent game to keep the Razorbacks in it. In the end, the Aggies will pick Kelley off to seal the game and score a touchdown to put salt in the Arkansas wound.

Final Score: Texas A&M 37, Arkansas 27 (3-2, 0-2 SEC)
