A&M boasts a ground game that ranks No. 8 nationally, but struggles when putting the ball in the air behind reserve quarterback Marcel Reed, in for the injured Conner Weigman, averaging 116th among 134 FBS teams with 162 yards each time out. Arkansas has struggled to keep the ball at times this season, suffering through 6 turnovers in its last 3 games, and are susceptible when Green is under intense pressure and forces a throw.
The job gets harder against an Arkansas front seven led by edge rusher Landon Jackson, a superb pressure man who could line up on either side of the line this week in a variety of looks.Most analytical models project Texas A&M will come out ahead of Arkansas in this game.
