Arkansas (3-1, 1-0) will clash with No. 24 Texas A&M (3-1, 1-0) in what will likely be another rousing Southwest Classic. Here are some true and false statements about Saturday's matchup.
True: The game will be decided in the final minutes
Four of the last six games in the series — excluding the 2020 matchup in College Station — have been decided by seven points or less, and there's no reason to think this installment will be any different. The Aggies have had Arkansas' number since the series moved to AT&T Stadium for good in 2014, but few of those games have been blowouts. These teams seem to be matched up relatively evenly this season, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see a game with a litany of lead changes that is determined in the final minutes.
False: Taylen Green's completion percentage will be under 50 percent
Yes, yes, we know we said this last week, but offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino will not allow Green to put forth another middling effort through the air. After going 23 of 53 passing over the last two games, Green will be sharper in the passing attack on Saturday. His legs will always be there to make a play, but his development in the passing game will truly begin to take shape in the Southwest Classic. He may not light the world on fire, but he won't be under the 50 percent mark again, either.
True: Arkansas will force at least three turnovers
Auburn's offense isn't elite, but holding any SEC team to just 14 points is a good sign for a defense. Arkansas did exactly that on the Plains, and with Texas A&M's uncertainty at the quarterback position going into Saturday's matchup, it could be another big week for the Razorbacks' secondary. Both Hudson Clark and Jaylon Braxton - who missed the team's games against UAB and Auburn - are listed as questionable for Saturday's game, but getting them back in any capacity would be a gamechanger. Don't be surprised if the Hogs manage to intercept whichever quarterback is under center for the Aggies multiple times.
False: Kyle Ramsey will make all of his field goal attempts
Ramsey deserves his flowers for hitting a clutch kick in the fourth quarter against Auburn, but his 5-9 mark through four games doesn't inspire confidence that he can consistently knock the pigskin through the uprights. With a 1-3 performance against Oklahoma State still on the minds of Arkansas fans, Saturday's game is a chance for Ramsey to either prove his worth, or prove that backup kicker Matthew Shipley is worth a look moving forward.
True: Luke Hasz will have at least 70 receiving yards
If there was ever a game Hasz should be more hyped for than usual, it's this one. It was 2023's Southwest Classic that dealt Hasz his season-ending broken collarbone in his freshman season, and in his second bout with the Aggies, he's out for revenge. Arkansas fans have been rightfully concerned about Hasz's lack of involvement in the offense, but he has the potential to make a big play at any time. Look for No. 9 to be making plays early and often on Saturday.
False: Arkansas' offensive line will give up more than five sacks
KJ Jefferson barely had time to get the snap in Arkansas' 2023 matchup with the Aggies before he was being wrangled to the ground. Arkansas' offensive line gave up seven sacks and countless pressures against Texas A&M last season, but the much-improved group should provide Green with more time in the pocket this year. The offensive line's pass protection looked shaky against Auburn, but if they get things ironed out, it'll be difficult for A&M to get pressure on the mobile Green.
