Both teams come in off a loss that likely crippled their chances at a conference title. Texas A&M (2-1) had a very good Oklahoma State team on the ropes with a 17-point halftime lead. But in the second half, OSU took advantage of three Texas A&M turnovers and numerous penalties to reel off 27 straight points to take a 30-20 lead. A Ryan Tannehill interception, his third, sealed the Aggies’ loss. Tannehill did throw for 309 yards and two scores and led A&M with 69 yards rushing. The Aggies are No. 25 in the nation in scoring at 37.3 ppg.

Arkansas (3-1) was simply outclassed last week at Alabama, falling 38-14. The Razorbacks’ SEC-leading offense was held to just 226 yards, including only 17 on the ground. Alabama had 10 tackles for loss, two interceptions, six pass breakups and four quarterback hurries. The Razorbacks came in averaging 47 points and 517 yards a game but hadn’t played anyone. Arkansas is still No. 18 in the nation in scoring at 38.8 ppg.

This is the third year in a row these two have played, with the Hogs winning the first two. Last year it was 24-17, also at Cowboys Stadium (the teams agreed to a 10-year series there, called the Southwest Classic). It was an ugly game with 23 penalties and six turnovers, including four by Texas A&M. Tannehill hadn’t yet taken over as the starting QB for the Aggies.
