Arkansas Football: Game-by-game predictions for 2018 season

Like Arkansas, Texas A&M is entering a new era with a new face in charge. Unlike Arkansas, Texas A&M’s new ball coach has a national title under his belt and his recruiting tactics are keeping pace with the likes of Ohio State, Georgia and Alabama.

Fortunately for the Razorbacks, Texas A&M doesn’t have that type of talent on the field just yet, though the Aggies’ roster has plenty of potential. Jimbo Fisher doesn’t have his guys in place in year one, but he’s going to do an alright job with what he has and you’ll likely see a 7-8 win team in College Station.

One of those wins will be against Arkansas in Arlington. Just like they did a year ago, the Aggies will score early and often, beating the Razorbacks at AT&T Stadium.

This time, however, it won’t be in overtime.

Nick Starkel will likely win the starting quarterback job, but even if Kellen Mond holds onto it, the Aggies’ offense will be much-improved. Jhamon Ausbon will give the Arkansas defensive backs fits all day and Trayveon Williams, too, will have a monster game.

Arkansas won’t have too hard a time of scoring, but it won’t be able to keep up here.

Final Score: Arkansas 31, Texas A&M 41 (3-2, 0-2 SEC)
