Challenges for Arkansas
Mississippi State lives off the pass. They hit you with 3, 4, or 5 yard passes for several plays and then launch one deep for the end zone. Their offense also has a similar effect as an option offense. It eats up time because State completes about 75 percent of their passes and the clock keeps rolling. Arkansas has to figure out a way to disrupt that passing game or it could be a tough day at the office.
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.
