Arkansas Razorbacks Preview

The Razorbacks suffered a disappointing 34-22 loss to the Texas A&M Aggies recently. They were able to keep the game competitive for the most part, but gave up at least a touchdown each quarter.

They maintain a steady output of 343.2 total yards on offense, with 215.6 of those yards stemming from their passing plays. On the defensive front, they limit their opponents to just 339.0 total yards, including 227.0 from passing plays. To secure victory, their defense needs to remain flawless.

Their offense consistently delivers with an average of 28.0 points per game. However, they also allow their opponents to score 28.0 points per contest, which poses a challenge when facing strong offensive teams.

Their quarterback, KJ Jefferson, has compiled 1,050 yards and 10 touchdowns, but his four interceptions result in a QBR of 53.4 that ranks him 78th in the nation. To boost their offensive potential, a flawless performance from him is essential.

Ole Miss Rebels Preview

The Rebels had an excellent showing against the LSU Tigers at home last week, finishing off the performance with a 55-49 win. The final eight minutes were crucial to their success, as they played perfectly on both sides of the ball.

They shine when it comes to racking up an impressive 517.4 yards in total, and a significant 336.6 yards are credited to their passing game. However, they could improve on the defensive front as they have allowed their opponents to gain 408.8 yards, with 263.8 yards coming from passing plays. This highlights an area of concern for their defense.

On the offensive side, they consistently score an average of 44.6 points per game, while their defense holds opponents to just 24.6 points. Although this point difference is substantial, they do not have the luxury to relax on defense. They must rely on a strong offensive performance if their defense is lacking.

QB Jaxson Dart is poised to perform well against a weaker defensive team, having amassed 1,485 yards and 11 touchdowns with a mere two interceptions. Furthermore, his impressive QBR of 85.2 ranks as the 12th best in the nation. This will likely be another great opportunity for him to increase his ranking.
