Why Texas A&M demolishes Arkansas: Aggies force a few Arkansas turnovers
It's a pretty simple formula when it comes to Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green: if you pressure him, he'll give you the football. We saw it last year with both an interception and fumble, and with the Aggies' current dominant pass rush, we'll see it again up in Fayetteville.
Cashius Howell is on a tear this year, ranking third in the nation in sacks and first in the SEC. He's led the Aggies to one of the best sack rates in the country, and Arkansas is especially susceptible. They are 81st in the nation in sacks allowed against Power 4 competition, tied with the Florida Gators, who were feeling the pressure against A&M from the first snap.
Green is mobile and can get out of trouble well, but the Aggie defense will have a plan to take him down. His ability to get loose will probably lead to some frustrating moments for A&M fans, but I think their plan will come through in the end.
Blind side pressure could lead to some sack fumbles, or a forced rollout could turn into a pass that gets picked off. However they get it done, I think this Texas A&M defense will do a good job of getting home against Green and stymy some Arkansas drives as the game rolls on.
