'We're beating ourselves': Texas A&M players preview Week 5 vs. Arkansas

Texas A&M football is preparing for a crucial matchup against the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday at Kyle Field. The Aggies, who have lost two straight games and had their worst offensive performance since 2022 against No. 10 LSU, are looking for redemption. The Razorbacks, ranking 10th in the conference, allow 324.8 yards per game.

Here are the insights from linebacker Noah Mikhail and offensive guard Wilkin Formby in their Tuesday press conference: Mikhail attributes the team's setbacks to a lack of focus, stating that the issue lies in trusting that one must only do their job to the best of their ability. He also highlights improved communication and morale during practice, with the team striving to uplift each other's performance.

Mikhail emphasizes the need for Texas A&M to apply more pressure on opposing quarterbacks, expressing confidence that their opponents will make it to the quarterback. Offensive guard Wilkin Formby expresses his willingness to adapt to playing guard for the Aggies, appreciating the decision made by coaching staff for the team's success.

He discusses the differences between playing guard and tackle, noting that guard is faster and requires staying low in the run game. Formby previews Arkansas, highlighting their strong defensive front and talented players, but also praises the depth of Texas A&M's offensive line, with many capable players ready to step in. He expresses strong belief in Marcel Reed, the team's quarterback, and emphasizes the importance of giving him time to excel.
