The No. 1 Mississippi State Bulldogs look to continue their path to the College Football Playoff as they play an Arkansas Razorbacks team that is on the verge of knocking off a top ranked opponent.
Plenty of Mississippi State’s success comes from their two-headed monster attack of quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Josh Robinson. Coach Dan Mullen spoke about what having a running game does for Prescott as he is seen as the Heisman Trophy favorite through 10 weeks of college football.
"When the running back is putting up big numbers and hitting explosive plays he draws a lot of attention," Mullen said. "That takes a lot of the pressure and attention off of Prescott, which will allow him to make bigger plays.”
Arkansas comes into this game with an 0-4 record against the SEC, but thats not for lack of trying. The Razorbacks have come very close to knocking off all four ranked opponents they have played. They almost knocked off Auburn to open the season and then lost to Texas A&M, Alabama and Georgia by a combined 21 points.
Arkansas leads the all-time series against Mississippi State 15-8-1, but the Bulldogs have taken the last two games from the Razorbacks.
