Despite Mississippi State's six-game losing streak, Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said he won't take the Bulldogs lightly when the schools meet Saturday afternoon in Starkville, Miss., in a Southeastern Conference clash. Following its 34-10 loss at home last week to No. 8 LSU -- a 16-10 game in the third quarter -- Arkansas (4-3, 2-2) will meet Mississippi State (1-6, 0-4). But Pittman said Monday that his squad needs to ignore the Bulldogs' record and pay close attention to their freshman quarterback, Michael Van Buren Jr. The Bowie, Md., product has replaced Blake Shapen, who suffered a season-ending shoulder injury against Florida on Sept.
