An uneasy feeling looms over the Arkansas football program despite a 35-14 win over Louisiana Tech that secured bowl eligibility. But that narrative could flip fast with a win over Missouri in the regular-season finale.
The Battle Line Rivalry has hardly been a rivalry, given its lopsided nature. Missouri has won 10 of 12 meetings with the Hogs since joining the SEC. The good news for Arkansas is that, not counting 2020, they are 2-2 against Missouri when they enter the game with at least three SEC wins, and that’s the situation this year. Both wins were lopsided (28-3 in 2015, 34-17 in 2021) and both losses were very close (28-24 in 2016, 29-27 in 2022).
