JEFF ALLEN GAME PREVIEW: ARKANSAS at TEXAS A&M
A pair of unbeaten SEC Top 25 teams go at it Saturday in College Station as the No.17 Arkansas
Razorbacks battle the No.10 ranked Texas A&M Aggies. Pundits were writing stories of gloom and
doom for the Razors after their opening game one-point win over La Tech. Bielema’s bunch
rebounded by stopping TCU in it’s next game and then throttled a FCS school in their tune up for
this game. Texas A&M’s HC Kevin Sumlin started his year with his keister in the hot seat but A&M
has opened the year with quality wins against UCLA and Auburn and a win here would make the
Aggies real players in the SEC with Bama and Tennessee up in two of their next three games.
This game opened with A&M as -5.5 point favorite and the total 50 1/2. There has been some movement
on the home team and under with the line now Texas A&M -6 and the over/under 49.5 at this writing.

venue has a retractable roof so take that into account in your handicapping. The 9:00 PM kickoff will
be an ESPN feature game.

very well. The offense is ranked No.80 overall is being run well by Austin Allen and Rawleigh Williams
