Missouri State fans may never forget Saturday night’s 38-27 final score, or that the Bears led Arkansas 17-0.
By this time next week, only a few Arkansas Razorback fans will care what the score was. A win is a win.
When the polls were announced Sunday afternoon, the Razorbacks were still No. 10 in The Associated Press Top 25, moved up a spot to No. 10 in the coaches poll and were No. 10 in the FWAA’s Super 16.
Undefeated and in the top 10 is all that should matter, especially when looking back at the two 2-10 seasons under Chad Morris, a nice guy who didn’t have the strong leadership personality needed to succeed at the top level.
