2. Arkansas has two 100-yard receivers as well

Two 100-yard rushers and receivers in the same game? That seems incredibly unlikely, especially against the defending national champions, but Arkansas has had much more luck through the air than on the ground and LSU’s defense has been mediocre this season.

Plus, Arkansas has arguably the best wide receiver duo that no one talks about.

The Razorbacks are led by Treylon Burks and Mike Woods who have combined for 921 yards and nine touchdowns on 57 receptions this season. They also have Trey Knox who has had a quiet season but who was expected to have a breakout sophomore campaign after catching 28 passes for 385 yards and three touchdowns as a freshman.

But it’s going to be Burks who breaks the 100-yard mark again and he’ll be matched by Woods who has been having a tremendous junior season.

Arkansas’ offense is going to have one heck of a game with two running backs and now two receivers breaking 100 yards.
