The Razorbacks enter today's game on a two-game losing streak in SEC play, falling to Texas A&M in Arlington, Texas, then to Alabama at home last weekend. Arkansas, though, has won both meetings against Mississippi State under Sam Pittman.
Mississippi State, in its third year under Mike Leach, have won back-to-back games since losing at LSU on Sept. 17. The Bulldogs hammered Bowling Green 45-14 two weeks ago then routed the Aggies 42-24 behind a 329-yard, three-touchdown passing day from quarterback Will Rogers.
The health of Arkansas' KJ Jefferson is the big question entering the game.
