KEY GAME INFORMATION
ARKANSAS: Bret Bielema's first year was predictably rough, but the pieces are there for a solid improvement in Year 2. Bielema's run-first offense will be led by RB Alex Collins (1,026 rush yds, 5.4 YPC), the second Razorback ever to hit 1,000 yards as a freshman, and RB Jonathan Williams (900 rush yds, 6.0 YPC). QB Brandon Allen (6.0 YPA, 13 TD, 10 INT) had a shaky first year as a starter but should improve, especially if his shoulder is fully healthy. Robb Smith is their fourth defensive coordinator in four years, and he inherits a group that will likely struggle. DE Trey Flowers (5 sacks, 13.5 TFL, 3 FF) is a bright spot and should lead a solid pass rush. The secondary is experienced with CBs Tevin Mitchel, Carroll Washington and Will Hines (11 PD combined), but short on talent. Linebacker also continues to be a trouble spot.
TEXAS A&M: There's no chance the Aggies will be able to replace Johnny Manziel's playmaking. Either sophomore QB Kenny Hill (16-for-22, 183 yds, 1 TD) or true freshman QB Kyle Allen will run their offense. But it will likely be RB Trey Williams (407 rush yds, 6 TD) becoming the focal point of the offense, especially with Mike Evans also playing on Sundays now. WR Malcome Kennedy (658 rec yards, 7 TD) returns, though sophomore WR Ricky Seals-Jones (3 rec, 84 yds) has the upside to be the new No. 1. The O-Line is excellent, with LT Cedric Ogbuehi capably filling Jake Matthews' shoes. The Aggies allowed an SEC-worst 222.3 rushing YPG, and they'll likely struggle again after dismissing DT Isaiah Golden and LB Darian Claiborne. In the secondary, A&M is short on talent aside from shutdown CB Deshazor Everett (73 tackles).

*Arkansas-Texas A&M Preview* ============================

Arkansas (3-1) at No. 21 Texas A&M (4-0), 3:30 p.m. EDT

DALLAS (AP) - Kenny Hill and sixth-ranked Texas A&M have started with the highest-scoring four-game stretch in school history.

The Aggies are 4-0 for the first time since 2006, winning each game by at least 24 points.

Now, the Aggies get a chance to really prove themselves, knowing there are still plenty of people not convinced by what Texas A&M has done already in the season after Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel left early for the NFL.

"Everybody's talking about how we haven't played anybody yet, so now we're going to start playing some SEC teams and we'll get to show how good we are," Hill said after the Aggies' 58-6 win at overmatched SMU on Saturday. "We're just going to keep playing the way we have been and prove to everybody that we can play."

Texas A&M returns to North Texas on Saturday, playing Arkansas (3-1) about 25 miles west in Arlington, Texas, at the Dallas Cowboys' NFL stadium where the national championship game for the first four-team College Football Playoff will be played in January.

"We'll know a lot more about us," coach Kevin Sumlin said. "We'll see (this) week. Big-time atmosphere."

After the Razorbacks, Texas A&M plays consecutive Saturdays against No. 14 Mississippi State, No. 10 Ole Miss and No. 3 Alabama - all SEC West teams still undefeated.

The Aggies opened this season with a 52-28 win at then-No. 9 South Carolina in Hill's starting debut, a Thursday night game before most other teams had even played, but their other wins are against Lamar and 0-3 teams Rice and SMU. The Gamecocks have won their three games since, including against then-No. 6 Georgia.

Arkansas has outscored Nicholls State, Texas Tech and Northern Illinois by a combined 174-49 margin its last three contests. The Aggies have won their last three games 169-19 and are scoring 55.3 points a contest overall this year.

"We accomplished some things, but we've still got to improve," Sumlin said. "... The more you win, the more things build every week. More important each game becomes."

Against SMU, playing its home opener and first game since coach June Jones resigned Sept. 8, the Aggies piled up 633 total yards and scored on 10 of their 12 possessions.

After Hill's first interception at Texas A&M, on his 150th career attempt, the Aggies scored five consecutive touchdowns. Trey Williams ran for two scores and Jeremy Tabuyo turned two short passes into touchdowns of 30 and 50 yards while becoming the ninth different receiver to get into the end zone.

The Aggies had eight sacks - one short of their total the first three games - and didn't allow a first down until midway through the second quarter when it was 31-0.

"It really started with the defense. The defense came out and played lights out," said Hill, who completed 16 of 22 passes for 265 yards with two touchdowns.

Hill, who has thrown for 1,359 yards and 13 TDs this season, also turned a busted play into a Manziel-like run of 58 yards when he broke two tackles to set up another touchdown.

"Yeah, I don't like doing that, but I can," Hill said of that big run before addressing his overall play. "I think I've come along all right. I've had moments when I haven't done too well, but I've had moments when I've done great. I think I just need to be more consistent."

Arkansas (3-1, 0-1), after two seasons of disappointment and transition, has finally shed its losing ways with three blowout wins under second-year coach Bret Bielema.

The winning ways, including a 52-14 victory over Northern Illinois last week, have been a marked and welcomed change for a school coming off a program-worst 10-game losing streak.

Arkansas hopes to end another streak Saturday when it tries to snap a 13-game SEC losing stretch against the high-flying Aggies (4-0, 1-0), who are seeking their first 5-0 start since 2001.

The Razorbacks haven't won an SEC game since a 49-7 victory over Kentucky in 2012, and Bielema - who was at Wisconsin at the time - said he hasn't used the losing streak as a motivating factor.

That said, he's also well aware of how far Arkansas has come - and how much a win against Texas A&M would mean for the resurgent program.

"We've made progress; we've done certain things better," Bielema said. "I think, without a doubt, our guys have a lot more confidence than they maybe had a year ago. But until you've done it on a big stage and against a quality opponent like we're going to see Saturday, it's really just talk."

While the Aggies lead the SEC in scoring, the Razorbacks are close behind with an average of 48.8 points thanks to the conference's top rushing attack.

After failing to score more than 34 points in a game last year, Arkansas' offense has flourished this season behind the running back duo of Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams. Collins leads the SEC with 490 yards rushing, while Williams is fourth with 391 and averages 8.1 yards per carry.

Also, Brandon Allen is fifth in the conference in passing efficiency, completing 43 of 70 (61.4 percent) for eight touchdowns and one interception.

The success is a big change from the first season under Bielema and offensive coordinator Jim Chaney, when the Razorbacks lost their final nine games. It's also served as a teaching point for the coaching staff, with Bielema saying he needs to work as a "humbler" this week to temper any potential overconfidence.

"Arrogance can always sometimes get in the way of production, so you've got to be careful of that," Chaney said. "I think that our kids feel confident in what they're doing."
