THE GOOD

594.6: Yards of offense per game for Texas A&M. That’s more than 56 yards better than Johnny Manziel and company averaged in 2013. The trick will be keeping close to that average during the final six SEC games.

19: Players with a tackle for loss this season for the Aggies, an incredible number in just five games. Ten different players have sacks and 38 different players have tackles.

3 of 8: Texas A&M claims three of the SEC’s top eight receivers in terms of yards (Malcome Kennedy, Josh Reynolds and Edward Pope). No other team has two in the Top 10.

THE BAD

 2: Number of games Texas A&M has played at Kyle Field this season. The Aggies have played games at South Carolina, SMU and Mississippi State (this weekend) and a neutral-site game against Arkansas.

10: Combined tackles for loss by Mississippi State defensive duo Benardrick McKinney and Preston Smith. The A&M offensive line will have to prevent those two from harassing Kenny Hill and others in the backfield Saturday.

215.8: Rushing yards per game for QB Dak Prescott and RB Josh Robinson. As good as the Arkansas running game is, and as well as the Aggies played against it late in the game, Mississippi State’s rushing attack may be even more difficult to defend. While the Razorbacks are predictable and it’s a matter of winning 1-on-1 matchups physically, the Bulldogs are more dynamic and unpredictable.
