The Aggies want to come out and get some of the frustration from last week out of their system. They don’t want to run the ball, they need to. It’s not just a matter of beating Arkansas; it’s a matter of showing they can do it against serious competition. Arkansas has been pushed around up front by the likes of Ole Miss and Colorado State, who haven’t been able to run on anyone else. The Aggies need to come out, use their size advantage and wear the Razorbacks down.

In the passing game, it’s pretty simple: as we know from history, John Chavis’s defenses tend to allow big holes in the middle of the field. San Jose State exploited that repeatedly, and also hit some big plays on fly patterns. A&M has much more talent than the Spartans do. Mond needs to find be steady in the pocket, as he has been save for against Clemson -- but he also needs to be willing to take off and run if the receivers aren’t open. This is a big opportunity for him to stop being tunnel-visioned. With the aggression Arkansas will almost certainly show, there will be big holes for him if he clears the line of scrimmage.

A&M needs to be balanced. They couldn’t get anything going on the ground last week and it cost them. Mond has been pretty good avoiding interceptions so far, but Arkansas thrives on them. If the Aggies get one dimensional, then they’ll have problems.

We know what Chavis does. He’s going to run a 4-2-5 scheme, rotate a lot of players and he’s going to blitz a lot. This year, he’s bringing defensive backs as well as linebackers, something he was pretty hesitant to do during his time at A&M.

As it was at A&M, the results have been mixed. Arkansas has a good number of sacks and has forced 8 turnovers. That’s the good news. The bad news is they’ve been ripped up by the likes of Portland State, San Jose State, Ole Miss and Colorado State. They’re very good in the interior of the line, but their emphasis on speed has both ends very undersized. Curl is one of the SEC’s best at safety, but the unit as a whole has been victimized by blown coverages and other mental blunders. They’ve also been flat out beaten.

So Arkansas will do what a Chavis defense does: they will attack early to try to get you behind the sticks then mix things up on 3rd down. They’ll try to force turnovers. It’ll be risk-reward, and so far the risk has outweighed the reward. But if A&M starts turning the ball over, the equation changes.
