Texas A&M Football: 3 Reasons Aggies will beat Arkansas

Texas A&M football will take on Arkansas in a rivalry game Saturday in Dallas and here are three reasons why the Aggies will win. 

If you enjoy hard-nosed football, then hopefully, you’re free this afternoon because you will really enjoy Texas A&M football battling Arkansas.

The two SWC now turned SEC West rivals, will meet in Dallas in Jerry’s World in a matchup of ranked teams that are 3-0.

Arkansas comes into this contest ranked 16th and with tons of momentum after hooking the horns a couple of weeks ago in Fayetteville.

The Aggies meanwhile, beat Colorado in non-conference play, while beating up on Kent State and New Mexico. Their biggest concern is the quarterback. Haynes King suffered an injury that will keep him out indefinitely, turning things over to Zach Calzada.

Calzada got his first career start last weekend and now, he’ll face a Razorback defense that’s been stingy and opportunistic in the first three weeks. It should be a fun matchup as the games in Dallas always seem close.

But here are three reasons why the Aggies will win.

Trust in Jimbo

There’s a reason Texas A&M football paid Jimbo Fisher the big bucks to leave Florida State and it’s to win games just like this.

He’s recruited extremely well at Texas A&M and the Aggies are particularly dominant on defense, although there is NFL talent on both sides of the ball.

Sam Pittman has done a whale of a job with the Razorbacks and they are going to give A&M all it can handle on Saturday. But I believe the Aggies have the better coach and that’s one reason I think the seventh-ranked A&M pulls it out.
