Through 3 Quarters
The Arkansas Razorbacks are on the road but looking no worse for wear. Sitting on a score of 33-26, they have looked like the better squad out there today, but there's still one more quarter to play.
Arkansas has been led by RB Trelon Smith, who so far has rushed for two TDs and 135 yards on 19 carries.
RB Larry Rountree III has led the way so far for the Missouri Tigers, as he has rushed for two TDs and 122 yards on 23 carries.
This is the most points the Razorbacks have had yet this year going into the fourth quarter.

What to Know
The Arkansas Razorbacks have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Missouri Tigers and are hoping to record their first win since Nov. 27 of 2015. Arkansas will take on Mizzou at noon ET Saturday at Memorial Stadium at Faurot Field after a week off. The neutral point spread forecasts a close one for these two.
It was a hard-fought contest, but the Razorbacks had to settle for a 27-24 defeat against the LSU Tigers two weeks ago. Despite the loss, Arkansas got a solid performance out of QB Feleipe Franks, who passed for one TD and 339 yards on 26 attempts in addition to rushing for one TD and 43 yards. Franks' 65-yard touchdown toss to WR Treylon Burks in the first quarter made for one of the most memorable moments of the day.
Meanwhile, Mizzou got themselves on the board against the Vanderbilt Commodores last week, but Vanderbilt never followed suit. Mizzou claimed a resounding 41 to nothing victory over the Commodores at home. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 21 to nothing. RB Larry Rountree III had a stellar game for Mizzou as he rushed for three TDs and 160 yards on 21 carries.
Mizzou's defense was a presence as well, as it got past Vanderbilt's offensive line to sack the quarterback four times for a total loss of 23 yards. It was a group effort with four guys contributing.
Arkansas is now 3-5 while Mizzou sits at 4-3. A couple numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: Arkansas enters the game having picked the ball off 13 times, good for third in the nation. But Mizzou ranks 14th in the nation when it comes to thrown interceptions, with only two on the season. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
