Both standing on a 3-1 run this season so this game is gonna be big. The Aggies and the Razorbacks are going to clash for the 4th time. This entire rivalry has been a constant showcase of back and forth. The Aggies have already proved their worth after they managed to crush the Gators 33-20 on the scoreboard. On the other hand, the Razorbacks wiped the floor with Auburn with 24-14.
However, as both teams get ready to face off, we received some bad news which could greatly hinder the overall game. SEC Mike took to X on September 28th to share the latest injury report before the game. The Aggies would be losing out on 7 of their key players and the Razorbacks would be missing out on 4. This ain’t looking good for Conner Weigman and Co. Losing 2 of the main WRs, Khafre Brown and Monte Harrison is a big blow to the overall chemistry that Weigman has maintained till now.

Weigman himself is coming off an injury, but the main problem is that the Aggies run game is quite crippled at this point. We are yet to hear anything from HC Mike Elko regarding the latest injury report. However, what we can assume is that Elko probably has a backup plan during this rivalry game. You have to keep in mind that Weigman still stands on +2500 odds on the Heisman ladder.

This guy has the potential, but we are yet to see it unleashed. Well, 2 more players who could be joining the roster against the Razorbacks are Ty Washington and Hudson Clark. The TE and DB have been marked as probable so there is a high chance the Aggies’ defense won’t suffer that.
The question that arises now is if the Razorbacks will manage to grab a win during this one. While this team also will be losing out on multiple players, it is not nearly as bad as the Aggies. This would be an interesting game for this season. Both teams are almost crippled and lost and both have to use whatever they have got at their disposal.
What’s your perspective on:
Can Arkansas and Texas A&M survive this injury crisis, or is their season already doomed?

Arkansas-Texas A&M: the outcome

Standing at the No.3 spot in the SEC in terms of offense, the Razorbacks have got a far better O-line when compared to the Aggies. The main game-changer would be Razorbacks RB Ja’Quinden Jackson. This guy is a beast! Jackson stands at the top of the SEC rushing yards ranking with 472 total rush yards under his belt.
The Aggies having so many key defensive line players out of the game would give Jackson enough room to run the football with ease. Another star would be the Razorbacks DB TJ Metcalf. Still marked as the SEC defensive player of the week, Metcalf would easily close in on the Aggies offense and stop the rush or run game. At this point, it looks like the outcome of the game would be the Razorbacks winning. However, we can only wait and watch.
