Numbers that matter
6
Arkansas has had one of the most consistent offensive lines in the past few years, and this year's no different. The Razorbacks have allowed just six sacks this season and was on of 13 teams to allow less than 14 sacks in 2015. Texas A&M's Myles Garrett has three sacks this season and led the SEC with 12.5 in 2015. Arkansas needs to watch out for Garrett and Daeshon Hall (7.5 sacks in 2015) all day or things could get ugly for QB Austin Allen.
13.3
John Chavis has worked a miracle on the Aggies' defense in the past two years. Texas A&M has improved in every defensive category, most notably jumping from 77th to 15th in the nation in points allowed (28.1 in 2014 to 13.3 this season). The Aggies have a tough test in Arkansas that averages 35 points per game.
543
Trevor Knight knows how to spread the ball around, but he's got three favorite receivers: Christian Kirk, Josh Reynolds and Ricky Seals-Jones. Those three have combined for 543 of Knight's 830 passing yards and four of the Aggies' five passing touchdowns this season. We'll be hearing their names a lot on Saturday.
Social buzz
All eyes will be on the quarterback battle between Trevor Knight and Austin Allen. Knight's been a playmaker through the air and on the ground, passing for 830 yards and five touchdowns and totaling 151 rushing yards through three games. Containing Knight is key to prevent him from blowing open the game. On the other hand, Allen's gone for 655 yards and seven touchdowns and has led game-winning drives in each of the first two games. He'll be dangerous if it's a one-score game late in the fourth quarter.
The big question
SN's Bill Bender put it succinctly: Who wants 'Bama? Whoever wins Saturday's game will most likely have the best shot at spoiling the Crimson Tide's season, making it a must-win game for whoever wants to play spoiler.
