1. Arkansas keeps UAPB off the scoreboard

Early in the season, you would have said that the defense was the strength of Arkansas. The Razorbacks held a high-powered Texas offense to just 21 points and Texas A&M to a mere 10 points, but since Georgia put up 37, they have struggled on that side of the ball.

In fact, Georgia scored 37, Ole Miss put up 52, and Auburn tagged the Razorbacks for 38. So over the past three games, all losses, Arkansas has allowed an average of 42.3 points.

Arkansas is going to bounce back in a big way from that forgettable three-game stretch and it’ll hold Arkansas-Pine Bluff to a whopping zero points. Yes, the Razorbacks are going to complete their first shutout of the year to end that three-game losing streak.

And with KJ Jefferson finishing with five total touchdowns, the Razorbacks are going to probably surpass 40 total points and really put the hurt on the Golden Lions.

This will be a nice way to gain some confidence heading into the final month of play.
