Arkansas, which lost its last two games, plays away from home for the second of four consecutive SEC games. Texas A&M has a 7-4 advantage in the neutral-site games the two teams have played at AT&T Stadium, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys owned by Jerry Jones, co-captain of the 1964 Razorbacks team that went undefeated. After overcoming an early 14-0 deficit with 23 consecutive points in a 23-21 win over Arkansas last September, the Aggies lost six games in a row. They have won five of six games since.
KEY MATCHUP
Linebacker Jaheim Thomas and the Arkansas defense against the Texas A&M offense that lost sophomore starting QB Conner Weigman with a right foot injury. He got hurt in the first half of last week's 27-10 win at Auburn, and coach Jimbo Fisher said Wednesday that the injury would keep him out the rest of the season. Max Johnson, the LSU transfer who completed 11 of 21 passes for 151 yards against the Razorbacks last season, will start for against them again. Texas A&M led only 6-3 at Auburn before Johnson threw two TDs, one to his brother tight end Jake Johnson. Thomas is the second-leading tackler in the SEC with 43, and has three of A&M's 14 sacks that are the second-most in the league.
