FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas finally has an SEC win. Missouri will not care how much relief came with it. The Tigers arrive in Fayetteville on Saturday with four consecutive victories in the series.
The Razorbacks return from their bye with a chance to prove that beating Vanderbilt was more than a welcome interruption in a difficult season.
That proof will require more than another week of discussing confidence. Arkansas needs its quarterback to sustain possessions, its running game to remain useful, and its defense to finish assignments before a missed opportunity becomes an explosive gain.
The kicking game could matter just as much if the score remains close.
Picking five players doesn't mean everyone else gets the evening off. Football does not work that way. These five, however, fill roles that could turn a competitive game into another conference win.
