Texas A&M is riding high at 6-0 so far this season, and today they'll visit Arkansas (2-4), with the game starting at 2:30 Central on ESPN. The Aggies are 7.5 point favorites on the road. The Hogs have lost to Ole Miss, Memphis, Notre Dame and Tennessee, and won games against Alabama A&M and Arkansas State.
Texas A&M has played annual games against Arkansas as members of the late Southwest Conference, and as members of the SEC since 2012, and the Hogs have been a rough opponent with A&M's record against them a poor 36-42-3.
College Football News thinks Arkansas could make more mistakes than the Aggies today, and predicts another loss to A&M (34-27).
Update 6:17 PM Saturday: Texas A&M had a good lead in the second quarter that was wasted and lost due to sloppy defense. A 21-6 lead was cut down to 21-20 at half-time. Success has gone to the heads of Mike Elko's team apparently. I'm probably finished with this shit for tonight.
The ESPN game coverage was rotten due to a weather delay in starting the game at 2:30 PM. I didn't see the second half, but A&M somehow managed to achieve a close 45-42 win.
According to the TV talking heads in post-game discussions, Texas A&M hasn't produce a 7-0 record since back in the 20th century. Since their next game will be at LSU, loyal Aggie fans should probably not hang their dreams on an 8-0 record this season.
