Game Notes | Last year this matchup was two unbeaten top 10 teams.
This year it's #2 vs #11, 9-0 vs 6-4.
Arkansas can beat Missouri though, they have a hurry up spread attack with great receivers. They score well, quickly, and will provide a great test. Missouri is without their two best running backs, and will have to go with untested and unproven freshmen in starting roles.
B Mayes will provide carries in the fullback position, but honestly Missouri is in trouble at the running back spot. Their passing game is luckily going up against the worst pass defense in the nation, but their defense is going up against one of the best passing attacks ever. The Razorbacks love to air it out, and this will be one of the biggest tests the Tigers will have faced all year.
Missouri is still the favorite, but not by nearly as large of a margin as one might guess based upon the records. Missouri 50, Arkansas 47 is the early line. |
