Missouri vs Arkansas Football 2021 Preview
Arkansas is looking to bounce back after a loss to No. 2 Alabama last week, a game nobody faults the Razorbacks for dropping. Arkansas is seeking a recovery against an old foe in Missouri. There have been 12 meetings total between the programs dating back to 1906, with the Tigers holding a 9-3 edge in the series. Missouri is currently on a five-game win streak against the Razorbacks.
Sam Pittman has helped turn around the Razorback program and they’ll finish with a winning record for the first time since 2016, regardless of what happens the rest of the way. However, last week was a major measuring stick against No. 2 Alabama, with Arkansas falling 42-35.
The Razorbacks lost by just a single score but it was a fateful decision in the fourth quarter that made the game so close. Arkansas went for it on a fourth-and-11 play at its own 34 and picked it up. However, Arkansas was able to make it a one-touchdown game with just over a minute left and saw their hopes sink after not nabbing the onside kick.
“Alright, this is the truth,” Pittman said. “We’d played such a good game, and we’re down on the 35, and we’re 14 down. And I go, ‘If we don’t make it, they’re going to score again, and there’s a chance they can score again and beat us by 21, and that’s not going to be the tell-tale.
“And in that time when I sent the punt team out there versus the time that I called timeout, I said, ‘I ain’t giving these kids a chance to win, and if I do this they’re going to hold it against me, and I’m going to hold it against myself forever,’” Pittman said. “No matter what the outcome is, we’ve got to play to win, and that’s exactly what happened.”
While Arkansas seems to have the leg-up heading into this edition of the Battle Line Rivalry, Missouri head coach Eliah Drinkwitz has not been shy to rub in their current streak against the Razorbacks.
“I kind of like the rivalry we’ve got with Arkansas,” Drinkwitz said. “I don’t remember the last time they beat us, so I kind of like that one. The Battle Line Rivalry, it’s pretty good for us. I think we’ll just keep that one right now. That’s a good one.”
Arkansas is a 14.5 point favorite for the matchup, with the total set at 62.5 points. The total has gone over in four of Arkansas’ last six games.
