10 Notable Numbers from Texas A&M’s Beatdown of Arkansas

10 Stats From Destruction of Arkansas by Texas A&M Football

Given that two of the scores by Texas A&M football in this past game were non-offensive touchdowns, the numbers on that side of the ball were not quite as dominant as I might’ve thought. Still, though, there are quite a few that showcase just how lopsided this game was. Let’s dive in.

414 – Total yards by Texas A&M football. That is now the fifth out of five games this season where they have exceeded four hundred yards and six straight dating back to the LSU game last year. That matches the previous highest streak under Jimbo: six games beginning with Auburn in 2018 and ending with Texas State in 2019.

174 – Total yards allowed to the Razorbacks. The Aggies more than doubled up their opponents in yardage, which continues a three-game streak of doing so. Let me say that again: the Aggies have gained more than double the yards of their opponent three games in a row, with two of those being conference games!

202 – All-purpose yards by Ainias Smith, 131 of which came on punt returns. Heck of a day for #0.

1 – Red zone trips allowed to the Razorbacks. Incidentally, that’s the same number of red zone trips allowed by the Aggies in the last two games combined!

0 – The number of red zone touchdowns allowed by the Aggies in this game. As a matter of fact, the only game in which the Aggies did allow a red zone touchdown was the Miami game—every other team they’ve played has been shut out of the end zone if they get inside the 20.

6 – Consecutive possessions by Arkansas, stretching from the early second to late third quarters, without converting a first down.

33.44% – the percentage of Arkansas’s YPC average that the Aggies allowed. The Hogs, after this game, have a YPC average of 3.23. The Aggies gave up only 1.08. On average, the Aggies are allowing only 56% of opponent per-carry averages, meaning if a given team comes in averaging 5 yards per carry, the Aggies could reasonably be expected to give up only 2.8.

22.39% – the percentage of Arkansas’s plays that ended in a tackle for loss. The Hogs ran 67 plays, and Texas A&M football recorded 17 TFLs.

27% – Arkansas’s success rate for the game. That means that roughly one out of every four plays was considered successful. The Aggies own two out of the three lowest success rates allowed in conference play by any SEC team this year, with this mark and last week’s 31% allowed to Auburn ranking 2nd and 3rd behind LSU allowing 26% to Mississippi State.

33% – Arkansas’s third down conversion rate. The Hogs started the game 4/5 on third down and finished 5/15, with the only conversion in that latter part coming on the long garbage-time touchdown.
