Challenges for Mississippi State
Arkansas has kind of faltered since earlier in the season. However, this is a hard-nosed, well-coached football team. Sam Pittman demands excellence in his players and has that team headed in the right direction. Offensively, a player to watch is wide receiver Treylon Burks. Burks is second in the SEC in TD catches with seven. At 6-foot-3, 225 he’s a large target who can run defenders over. The Razorback’s quarterback, LSU transfer KJ Jefferson, is a player who is a threat to take to the end zone on any play. The State defense has to account for players like Jefferson and Burks.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 3:00 PM CT (4:00 PM ET). You can watch this SEC football game on the SEC Network.
