The Arkansas Razorbacks (6-5) are going to have a hard time picking up their third win in a row as they will have to take on the #17 Missouri Tigers (9-2) on Friday afternoon. Missouri is currently first in the SEC East, while the Razorbacks sit in seventh in the SEC West.

Arkansas had their biggest win of the season last Saturday when they shut out #8 Ole Miss 30-0 at home. Their defense was extremely solid in that win, holding Ole Miss to 316 yards and forcing six turnovers.

Through 11 games, the Razorbacks are one of the better rushing teams in the country by gaining 226.2 yards per game on the ground. Running back Jonathan Williams has rushed for 1,013 yards with 11 touchdowns this season, while backup Alex Collins has 965 rushing yards with a team-high 12 touchdowns.

Last weekend, Missouri won their fifth game in a row when they beat Tennessee 29-21 on the road. They had 430 yards of offense in that win, and they went the entire game without turning the ball over.

So far this season, the Tigers have had one of the best defenses in the country by only allowing opposing offenses to score 20.2 points per game against them. Sophomore quarterback Maty Mauk has 2,014 passing yards this year with 21 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Mauk's top receiver has been Bud Sasser, who has caught 56 passes for 777 yards and nine scores.
