2. Feleipe Franks keeps Arkansas in the game — for three quarters

Feleipe Franks hasn’t been given the green light just yet and Sam Pittman has stated that he’s not 100 percent but even with the senior quarterback not at full strength, he’ll be all Arkansas needs to have a fighting chance in this one.

No, Arkansas probably doesn’t have much of a shot if Franks doesn’t play and he knows that. That’s not a knock on KJ Jefferson, but in games like this, you need quarterbacks who have experience and who have faced teams like Alabama in the past. Franks has done that and he’s kept the Razorbacks in each game this season, save last weekend at Missouri when he didn’t play.

Franks will get the nod and he’ll piece together a solid game for the Razorbacks, keeping Arkansas in the game for three quarters.

The entire nation will be on notice when Arkansas is within striking distance of the Razorbacks in the second half with the fourth quarter approaching. But will it be enough?
