3. The Aggie defense finds its footing and forces five turnovers

To say that Arkansas is struggling this season is the understatement of the century. They haven’t lived up to the expectations that many had for them when Chad Morris took over as head coach before this season. Everyone thought that the former SMU coach was going to take this team and make a contender out of them. While he still may be able to do so, this season isn’t the one that he is going to do it in.

With the fight between Cole Kelley and Ty Storey at the starting quarterback position for the Razorbacks, this offense isn’t set in stone and doesn’t have a flow to it that other teams within the SEC have found.

As a result, my bold prediction focuses on the Aggie defense. This group could have the games of their careers against the Razorbacks. Look for Landis Durham to have a strip sack. Tyrel Dodson will add another pick six to his resume. One of the young guns will make a big time play and Daylon Mack will finally get his.

Simply put, this game is all about the Aggie defense and how many big time plays they can make.
