I am concerned about A&M. We should beat them if our pass defense is average and we eliminate the turnovers (both were bad last week).
We need to beat A&M for the momentum when Alabama visits us the next weekend.
O'Gara: Final thoughts (and a prediction) for Arkansas vs. Texas A&M

Let’s talk about that Arkansas pass defense because it explains the spread
It does. If you’re wondering why the Aggies are 1.5-point favorites even though Arkansas has been the better, more reliable team to date, don’t dig into conspiracy theories. Just look at the obvious weakness Arkansas has — the pass defense. It’s bad. Real bad.
The Hogs enter Saturday ranked dead last in FBS defending the pass having allowed an average of 352.7 passing yards per game, which is 67 passing yards more than the next-closest Power 5 team (Northwestern). The Hogs allowed a minimum of 325 passing yards to each quarterback it faced so far, which includes the likes of first-time Cincinnati starter Ben Bryant, Spencer Rattler and Missouri State’s Jason Shelley, who tagged the Hogs for 352 in last Saturday’s scare in Fayetteville.

Great news for Tide-to-Hogs Drew Sanders. Unfortunately, this means he'll likely be gone next year (don't blame him).
Yeah Alabama & Georgia, we'll take your excess 5-stars who weren't good enough.

Arkansas linebacker Drew Sanders has been ranked the No. 14-overall prospect for the 2023 NFL Draft by ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr.
Kiper also ranked Sanders the No. 1 inside linebacker. In three games, Sanders is second on team in tackles to Bumper Pool with 27. He has 16 solo, six for loss, five sacks, two pass breakups, one quarterback hurry and a pair of forced fumbles.
