Back to SEC action. Texas A&M and Arkansas will meet in the Southwest Classic down in Arlington and this is a matchup that’s usually close.

In fact, this game has been decided by a touchdown or less in four of the past five meetings, but unfortunately for Arkansas, the Aggies have won seven straight. This rivalry has been lopsided in recent history, but that could all change this year with a revamped Razorback team.

Ben Hicks will be playing some solid football under center, Rakeem Boyd will already be over the 500-yard mark on the season entering this contest and the Razorback offense will be firing on all cylinders while the defense will be slowly — but surely — improving.

Texas A&M, though, is still a few steps ahead of Arkansas in terms of overall talent and Jimbo Fisher’s team is going to take care of business for the second straight year under his control. Kellen Mond will give the Razorbacks all they can handle and the Aggies will put on a show offensively.

Final Score: Arkansas 24, Texas A&M 42 (3-2, 0-2)
