Taking a position-by-position look at Saturday’s matchup between Texas A&M and Arkansas at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas (7 p.m. ET, ESPN):

QUARTERBACK — Push: It’s tough to pick a winner between Arkansas’ Brandon Allen and his counterpart, Texas A&M’s Kyle Allen. The Arkansas senior has been busier with 22 more attempts (92-70) and 322 more yards (916-594). He’s also thrown six touchdown passes, leads the league in yards per game (305.3) and is fourth in the SEC in passer rating (168.2). The Aggies’ sophomore, on the other hand, has been more efficient. He has nine touchdown passes, a slightly better passer rating (169.4) and has also added 66 yards and two more touchdowns on the ground this season. A couple of blowout wins — and a bit of a timeshare with Kyler Murray in the opener — have limited his opportunities somewhat.

RUNNING BACKS — Arkansas: While he hasn’t had the start to the season that many expected, the Razorbacks’ Alex Collins is still fourth in the SEC in rushing yards (351) with 5.9 yards per carry on his 60 attempts. The junior also has three rushing touchdowns on the season. Rawleigh Williams III has spelled Collins on occasion with 80 yards on 25 carries in three games. Texas A&M’s Tra Carson has one more carry, 59 fewer rushing yards and one fewer touchdown. Brice Dolezal has also picked up 107 rushing yards and a score for the Aggies this season.

WIDE RECEIVERS, TIGHT END — Texas A&M: Both teams boast impressive statistics from its receivers, but the Aggies get a slight nod here based on big-play ability. Freshman Christian Kirk has been a revelation for Texas A&M, leading the team in catches (16) and yards (269) while hauling in two touchdown passes. Josh Reynolds has three touchdown passes to highlight his eight grabs for 136 yards while Damion Ratley, Ricky Seals-Jones and Speedy Noil have combined for 15 catches in a balanced attack. Arkansas’ Hunter Henry continues to make his case as one of the nation’s best tight ends with 14 grabs for 191 yards and a touchdown. Keon Hatcher (13 for 198 yards, two touchdowns), Drew Morgan (10 for 148, two touchdowns) and Jared Cornelius ( 7 for 150, one touchdown) round out a bevy of talented pass-catchers for the Razorbacks.

OFFENSIVE LINE — Arkansas: This one is much closer than it probably should be, but let’s give a nod to the Razorbacks. The Arkansas line is paving the way for 4.8 yards per carry on running plays and has yet to allow a sack this season. Meanwhile, the Aggies’ line has paved the way for a 5.1 average for its running backs but has allowed 10 sacks in three games.

DEFENSIVE LINE — Texas A&M: The first no-contest in this breakdown. The Aggies lead the nation with 15 sacks, and Myles Garrett (5.5) and Daeshon Hall (4) are terrorizing opposing tackles so far this season. All told, A&M defensive linemen have 12 sacks and 25 tackles for loss. Arkansas’ front four does a better job against the run, allowing just over 103 yards per game (almost 60 yards fewer than Texas A&M), but DeMarcus Hodge has the lone sack for the Razorbacks in 2015. Jeremiah Ledbetter has also contributed 18 tackles this season.

LINEBACKERS — Texas A&M: A.J. Hilliard returned from suspension last week against Nevada and had eight tackles — and two tackles for loss — for the Aggies. He fits in nicely with Shaan Washington (13 tackles) and Otaro Alaka (nine tackles). Alaka missed the opener and came off the bench in Week 2 but seems to be fully healthy for this week’s game. Arkansas’ Brooks Ellis is in the top 10 in the league in tackles (26), while Josh Williams and Dre Greenlaw have 15 and 14 tackles, respectively.

SECONDARY — Texas A&M: The Aggies’ secondary may only have two interceptions, but they have 14 passes broken up on the season. Victor Davis, De’Vante Harris and Brandon Williams all have two of them, while Harris and Donovan Wilson have the interceptions. Meanwhile, the Razorbacks have three picks with one each from Henre’ Toliver, DJ Dean and Jared Collins. But the secondary is 13th in the SEC with only five passes broken up so far this campaign.
