2. Trayveon Williams & Co. will make life difficult for Arkansas

Now that we have talked about the Aggie defense, let’s take a minute to discuss the Razorback defenders. They are, well, struggling.

They were unable to stop the likes of Colorado State late in Week 2 and were absolutely owned by Mason Fine and North Texas in Week 3. It didn’t get any easier against Jarrett Stidham in Week 4 and now with the Aggie offense waiting in the wings, don’t look for big time improvements from this unit.

My bold prediction? This is a big day for running back Trayveon Williams and Kwame Etwi, at the very least. Those two are the core of the running back group for Texas A&M, though I am sure that we will see quite a few young faces before the clock hits zero on Saturday afternoon. Look for Trayveon Williams to hit the 200 mark, at least, and score three times.

Not to mention Kellen Mond’s legs could be a force to be reckoned with for Arkansas. If they can’t get pressure on the quarterback, this is going to be a long afternoon for those in red and white. The Razorbacks don’t exactly enjoy playing the Aggies and it likely won’t get more fun for them this week.
