Arkansas has to be mad and angry that they choked away a 24-7 4th quarter lead last week against Rutgers on the road. The road?? What's that?? That's something Johny Manziel and the Aggies have not seen this year and now they will go on the road to play a physical and mad team. I don't like the match up for the Aggies for a few reasons. First of all people still forget how many players this A&M team lost from last years great team. It was a ton on both sides of the ball and it's been hidden in the early game playing their first 4 at home, but now they are going to struggle a bit here today.

How do you stop Johny Manziel? Have a pass rush! Arkansas has shown in multiple games they can get to the QB. Arkansas has 14 sacks and is 8th in the nation in sack%. Manziel on the road vs. a good pass rush spells trouble in my opinion. Manziel played well against Alabama because they never have a strong pass rush in fact the Crimson Tide are 106th in sack % getting to the QB just 2.83% of his drop backs. His other match ups were against SMU (64TH) and Rice (37th) and Sam Houston, but those were all at home. This Arkansas crowd will help Arkansas get a push and force Manziel into some mistakes in his first road game, because right now this team is just too confident and they shouldn't be.

Partially because they have not held a team under 5 yards per carry this season. I mentioned the 4 teams they faced above and they allowed two of them to average over 6 yards per carry and they allowed that to happen in their own building (Kyle Field) which was getting hype on ESPN as one of the loudest stadiums. Give me a break. Now they go on the road to face Arkansas behind Bret Bielema who is known for wanting to ground and pound. Arkansas is running the ball 70% of the time good for 8th in the country and they are doing it well averaging 5.07 ypc behind Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins. Oh in case you were wondering Arkansas has only allowed 3.01 ypc in their run defense and their pass rush won't allow Manziel to scramble and make those down the field plays he has been used to.
