The Arkansas Razorbacks face their biggest game in program history on Thursday night in Omaha, as they are playing in a do-or-die Game 3 of the College World Series.
The Hogs won Game 1 and the Oregon State Beavers won Game 2 in dramatic fashion, making Thursday’s game the one that will decide the national championship.
On Thursday, ESPN analyst Eduardo Perez joined “Sports Talk with Bo Mattingly” and said staying calm is going to be the biggest key to the game:

“What you need right now is for everyone to be focused and slow down the heartbeat,” he said. “It could be a high-scoring event, and every time we predict a high-scoring event, it ends up being a 3-2 game. The team that will win tonight is the team that will be able to breathe and enjoy the moment.
“Both of these teams are well-deserving and they’re both classy teams that have paid their dues to get where they are right now.”
Obviously, staying calm in such a tense environment is easier said than done. However, Perez is right — nerves are not going to help.
Game 3 is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time and can be seen on ESPN2.
