Joe Tessitore says Arkansas-Texas A&M game will have huge national implications
Most eyes around the SEC will be fixated on the huge Eastern division showdown between No. 19 Florida and No. 14 Tennessee, but one ESPN personality thinks there’s another highly important SEC game happening this weekend.
Joe Tessitore said on John Nabors’ radio show that the winner of the Arkansas-Texas A&M game, which he called the best game this weekend, will be an “X-factor in college football, not just the SEC.” Tessitore will be on the ESPN broadcast of the contest between the No. 17 Razorbacks and No. 10 Aggies, their third straight tilt in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
