No. 4 Texas A&M takes on host Arkansas on Saturday. The Aggies are undefeated while the Razorbacks are 2-4 overall and 0-2 in SEC play. However, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko isn’t taking Arkansas lightly and a major reason is interim head coach Bobby Petrino.
During his Monday press conference, Elko spoke effusively about the offensive strategies of Petrino, who is now in his second stint as Arkansas’ head coach.
Mike Elko on Bobby Petrino: "This will be the fifth time that I've gone against him, and he's certainly one of the best playcallers in the country."

Eleven years after being fired by Arkansas, Petrino rejoined the program in 2023 as an offensive coordinator under Sam Pittman. Petrino replaced Pittman on Sept. 28 after Arkansas lost 56-13 vs. Notre Dame.
In his first game back as Arkansas’ head coach, the Razorbacks fell 34-31 at then-No. 12 Tennessee on Saturday. While it wasn’t an actual win, it at least represents a moral victory that the players appear to be all-in on giving Petrino their best efforts.
Texas A&M will be another challenging opponent as Petrino seeks his first victory of the season. The undefeated Aggies are 1 of just 2 remaining teams undefeated in SEC play along with No. 5 Ole Miss.
Saturday’s game between Texas A&M and Arkansas is slated for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff (ESPN).
