Arkansas Razorbacks

Missouri 28-Arkansas 24

Arkansas choked. There’s just no other way to put it. After leading Missouri 24-7 going into halftime, the Razorbacks gave up 21 unanswered points to lose their rivalry game. Arkansas losing this game was just another example of the mediocrity of SEC football in 2016.

We thought Arkansas was something special when they beat Ole Miss, but we realize now the Rebels are terrible. None of us predicted that the Razorbacks would fall to Missouri, though. SEC football fans love the line that ‘any team can beat you any Saturday,’ but it has become excessive in 2016.

Impact Moving Forward

-Huge momentum loss

Arkansas finishes with seven wins after starting the season 5-2. The Razorbacks weren’t expected to be great entering 2016, so losses to Alabama and Texas A&M were no big deal. Blowout losses to LSU and Auburn were tough to swallow, but the loss to Missouri is the most disappointing of the season.
