For the first time since 2013, a game between the Arkansas Razorbacks<\/a> and Texas A&M<\/a> is taking place on a campus. AT&T Stadium played host to this rivalry game for years. But no longer, as Fayetteville welcomes the Aggies to town to renew a matchup dating back to 1903.<\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s Greg McElroy put in his prediction for this one, expecting there to be a ton of points. In the end, he is rolling with Texas A&M to remain undefeated, while Arkansas continues a losing streak. At the same time, the Razorbacks know how to make finishes interesting. Either way, McElroy is picking Mike Elko<\/a>\u2018s bunch to win out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019ll take the points here,\u201d McElroy said via Always College Football<\/a>. \u201cI think Arkansas can score. I just don\u2019t see how they\u2019re going to stop Texas A&M\u2019s offense. So, in a game that I think has a chance to become a track meet, I\u2019ll take the Aggies. They\u2019re more balanced. But I fully expect Arkansas to make it interesting and score points in their own backyard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylen Green<\/a> is far from the problem for Arkansas. Earlier in the week, McElroy labeled the Arkansas quarterback as a potential first-round \u201cflier\u201d in the 2026 NFL Draft<\/a>. If not for him, a lot more games would end up in blowouts. If there is any kind of route to winning on Saturday, a lot is going to be put on Green\u2019s plate.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreen needs to be the focal point of every single offensive snap,\u201d McElroy said. \u201cHe needs to go for over 350, he needs to have at least four touchdowns for the Razorbacks to have a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the Arkansas defense seemingly everyone is able to take advantage of. The Razorbacks are in the bottom three of scoring defense and total yards allowed in the SEC. Only Tennessee<\/a> sports a worse passing defense, while the worst rush defense in college football calls Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium home. Those numbers do not usually equal a winning recipe, no matter the circumstances.<\/p>\n

Marcel Reed<\/a> and a talented Texas A&M wide receiver group is hoping to take full advantage. If there is a downside, it\u2019s the health of running Le\u2019Veon Moss<\/a>. He was ruled out on Wednesday\u2019s SEC injury report<\/a>, an issue that will last for a few weeks. However, Rueben Owens<\/a> is viewed as a capable backup and possibly ready for a national breakout.<\/p>\n
