Missouri smacked Arkansas around a year ago and the Razorbacks haven’t forgotten. It was as ugly as any game Arkansas played all year, ending in a shutout loss.

With a renewed mindset and a bowl bid already in hand, the Razorbacks will be staring down that same foe with a chance to earn their seventh win of the regular season which is more than anyone is expecting from them.

This will be a back-and-forth affair with Kelly Bryant having one of his best games of the season for the Tigers while Rakeem Boyd will approach the 200-yard mark on the ground.

Will the Razorbacks end the season on a high note, putting that 38-0 loss to Missouri last year behind them? It’s not going to be easy, but a seven-win season will be closer than anyone had expected with this one. In the end, Missouri will find a way to win, though.

Even with the loss, Arkansas will be bowl-bound, giving Chad Morris an opportunity to win his first postseason game with the Razorbacks in year two.

Final Score: Arkansas 30, Missouri 34 (6-6, 2-6)
