With a player like Christian Kirk on the field, Texas A&M's objective is simple: get him the ball. Among the many unique ways the Aggies did it against Arkansas, one left the Hogs reeling from the start — and the elite freshman did the rest.

For yet another season, the Razorbacks had the Aggie defense's number. Or did they? A&M did struggle, but espite what the paper says, the film tells another story — of clutch plays, stout planning and plenty of teachable moments.

It would be easy to judge Texas A&M's offensive output against Arkansas by its red zone failures, or a general lack of scoring until the fourth quarter. But a closer examination reveals not only efficiency, but a long line of playmakers — and newly creative ways in which they were used.

Appropriately, another thriller between the Aggies and Razorbacks in AT&T Stadium came down to a string of clutch plays in overtime. TexAgs takes you back inside the top plays and most memorable moments of an electric night, from a field-level angle, as seen on CW-8 Aggieland.

The parallels to last season are there, and they're incessant. Why should anyone believe different? Well, the answers jump not off the page but off the film. At 4-0, Texas A&M's chance to chart a new course in 2015 begins this week — and the Aggies look prepared.

Another thriller in Arlington, another expert compilation of highlights.

Against Arkansas the Aggies' offense seemed pedestrian and the defense ultimately did enough to hold the Razorbacks to 21 points. Yet, a deeper look at the numbers indicates the real story is reversed on both accounts.

An unscathed record is the ultimate decider, but Kevin Sumlin's Aggies left AT&T Stadium on Saturday with issues to address. Still, despite the similarities to last season's team, Texas A&M flashed its SEC potential in a win.

Does twice make it a tradition?

In a contest eerily similar to last season's, the Aggies came back on Saturday to tie a hard-fought game in the fourth quarter and held on in overtime to win their fourth straight Southwest Classic at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

Deja vu, all over again. In a similar fashion to last season, the Aggies overcame Arkansas with a fourth-quarter comeback and won with a defensive stand in overtime. Olin Buchanan joins the discussion on what to take away from Saturday's result and what comes next.

In 2014 the glaring weakness on a Texas A&M defense full of them was the inability to hold up against the run. Under John Chavis these Aggies seem to have overcome many of those struggles — but on Saturday, as in 2014, Arkansas will reveal whether that's true.

Last season this rivalry game ended in an overtime thriller. This year's iterations of both teams are vastly different. Still, the fundamental battles between Texas A&M and Arkansas will pit strength against strength and test the Aggies' improved defense.

Last season's thriller between Texas A&M and Arkansas seems a distant memory with the teams' current iterations headed in different directions. Still, the winner will be determined by which playmakers get the best of their counterparts.
