The Aggies have steamrolled their first three opponents and enter Week 4 with a perfect 3-0 record. Meanwhile, the Razorbacks will also head to Arlington, Texas with an unblemished 3-0 mark after taking care of business against three non-conference opponents.

Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. CT, and the game will be televised nationally on ESPN.

Here’s a closer look at how the rivals match up head-to-head.

WHEN ARKANSAS HAS THE BALL

QB Austin Allen vs. Texas A&M pass defense: Aside from Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly, Allen has been the most efficient SEC quarterback through the first three weeks of the season. His 160.9 passer rating ranks second in the conference behind only Kelly (164.2), and the junior signal-caller has been a major contributor for the Razorbacks’ fast start.

Overall, Allen has completed 53-of-79 pass attempts for 655 yards, 7 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, though the quarterback’s impact can’t just be attributed to the numbers. He led game-winning drives against both Louisiana Tech and TCU in the first two weeks of the season, and he seems to have gotten Arkansas’ offense in a groove.

Texas A&M has intercepted four passes thus far, and the Aggies are allowing opposing quarterbacks to throw for an average of 226.3 yards per game. A promising number related to the Texas A&M defense is one. That’s how many touchdowns the unit has allowed through the air in its first three games.

The unit sacked UCLA’s Josh Rosen five times and intercepted him three times in Week 1. Although Allen has shown he can do what it takes to win, the Aggies’ defense isn’t going to make it easy.

RB Rawleigh Williams III/ Kody Walker vs. Texas A&M run defense: As good as the Aggies’ defense has been against the pass, the unit has still allowed opponents to have some success running the ball. So far, Texas A&M has given up three touchdowns and an average of 131 yards per game on the ground.

That bodes well for Arkansas as its running game has already found the end zone five times and averages 170.7 yards per game. Williams (71 carries, 354 yards, 3 TD) will be the key for the Razorbacks’ running attack. After rushing for more than 120 yards the past two weeks, the 5-foot-10, 223-pound sophomore should be ready to rumble.

EDGE: Arkansas

Arkansas WRs vs. Texas A&M DBs: Through three games, Allen has spread the ball around to 10 different pass-catchers. Still, the Arkansas signal-caller has his favorites, and those are Keon Hatcher and Drew Morgan.

Both Hatcher (11 catches, 204 yards, 2 TD) and Morgan (15 catches, 168 yards, 1 TD) have big-play potential, while tight end Jeremy Sprinkle (9 catches, 97 yards, 3 TD) has acted as Allen’s security blanket inside the red zone.

Senior cornerback Justin Evans is more than capable of making plays in the secondary, though Allen should be able to find his various targets if the offensive line can hold off the Aggies’ pass rush.

WHEN TEXAS A&M HAS THE BALL

QB Trevor Knight vs. Arkansas pass defense: In his first season with the Aggies, the Oklahoma transfer has been stellar behind center. Knight has helped Texas A&M move the chains with ease, connecting on 63-of-119 pass attempts for 830 yards, 5 touchdowns and a pair of interceptions.

But the Arkansas secondary is no slouch, and it’ll certainly test Knight on Saturday night. The Razorbacks have also returned an interception for a touchdown in each of the past two weeks, so Knight will have to be mistake-free for Texas A&M.

Still, even if Arkansas has scored points defensively, Knight has been a force in his first three games with the Aggies.

EDGE: Trevor Knight 

RB Trayveon Williams & Keith Ford/ QB Trevor Knight vs. Arkansas run defense: Williams has been tough to tackle thus far as he averages 8.4 yards per carry for the Aggies. Although he is a big-play threat — his one touchdown came from 89 yards out — Texas A&M boasts a three-headed monster on the ground.

Ford has rushed for 155 yards and 3 touchdowns, while Knight (151 yards, 3 TD) can also escape the pocket and take off down the field. In all, the Aggies rank second behind only Auburn (261.7) with 237 rushing yards per game.

Arkansas has surrendered just 98.7 rushing yards per game, though none of its first three opponents had the same rushing attack that Texas A&M posseses. 

EDGE: Texas A&M

Texas A&M WRs vs. Arkansas DBs:  Even though Arkansas has shown signs of improvement defending the pass under new position coach Paul Rhoads, the secondary is still among Arkansas’ biggest question marks.

The Razorbacks may be making strides, but Texas A&M enters Saturday with a well-oiled machine in the passing game. So far, 13 different Aggies have caught passes this season, but Josh Reynolds and Christian Kirk present Arkansas with its biggest challenge.

Reynolds (13 catches, 229 yards, 2 TD) averages 17.6 yards per catch and has a long of 51, while Kirk (18 catches, 186 yards, 2 TD) took his longest catch 64 yards to the house.

SPECIAL TEAMS

With nine made field goals, Texas A&M enters Saturday with the most productive kicking game in the SEC. In addition to hitting each of his 14 extra points, sophomore kicker Daniel LaCamera has made both of his attempts from 40 yards or deeper. He also won’t be scared of the bright lights after going 5-for-5 on field goal tries at Auburn last weekend.

Arkansas’ sophomore kicker Cole Hedlund is still untested as he’s only attempted three field goals this season and 18 in his career. He’s a perfect 70-for-70 on extra-point attempts, though he clanged a 22-yarder against TCU in crunch time two weeks ago.

Arkansas is next to last in the SEC in both covering punts and kickoffs. Even though the Razorbacks bottled up Texas State on kickoffs in Week 3, they still need to prove themselves against legitimate SEC competition.
