| Game Notes | Last year #1 Missouri traveled to unranked Arkansas and they battled to an **** 24-23 finale. Missouri is 4-2 with Arkansas in this series which will become yet another yearly border war, joining Kansas and Iowa State in Missouri's nearby border foes.
#2 Missouri is a high powered even spread based offense with a balanced rushing attack and a quick quarterback. Arkansas operates on the spread offense, winning games with lots of points. Arkansas's lowest point total this year so far is 42, which they scored against Oklahoma State in overtime a few weeks ago. They have hit sixty once, and fifty another four times.
Missouri's offense is good, but their defense is better, allowing at most 24 points, which was this past week to Arizona. This is a battle of top 10 teams, most likely for the Big XII North Division Title, and it looks to be a great battle. Arkansas is actually the favorites this time, a 4 point favorite due to their strength being Missouri's weakness.
Gameday will be there, and kickoff is at 7pm sharp CST. Look for a shootout classic. |
