It’s a matchup of power vs. power. It’s a matchup of strength vs. strength.
It’s a matchup that likely won’t have much effect on the outcome of Texas A&M’s Southeastern Conference football opener against Arkansas on Saturday in Arlington.
The Aggies lead the nation with 15 quarterback sacks. Meanwhile, Arkansas is one of just five FBS teams that have not allowed a sack through three games. Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen has been sacked just once in his last 160 pass attempts dating back to last season.
That seemingly sets up the classic irresistible force vs. immovable object matchup of A&M’s fast and agile defensive front against Arkansas’ enormous offensive line that averages 6-5.5 feet and 327.8 pounds from tackle-to-tackle.
