Challenges for Arkansas
This is the one SEC out-of-conference game for the weekend. Liberty is no joke. They stomped BYU 41-14 on the road last weekend. One vulnerability of Liberty is they are 105th in the nation in sacks allowed, averaging 2.88 of them allowed per game. Arkansas is a solid team that gets a lot of sacks so that could be somewhat of an edge for the Hogs. Liberty’s quarterback is Johnathan Bennett. He’s completed 77 of 134 passes for 939 yards, eight touchdowns and seven interceptions.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 3:00 PM CT (4:00 PM ET). Watch this SEC football game on the SEC Network.
