As Arkansas looks to avoid a sixth-straight loss, the Razorbacks have a tough challenge ahead against Mississippi State.
The Razorbacks and Bulldogs are both looking for a big win, so both sides will be bring out all the stops.
Ahead of the game, Sam Pittman broke down what makes Mississippi State a tough team, pointing to the Bulldogs’ strong linebacker group as a point of emphasis.
“I know they’re a big concern for us, but I think coach will have to point on what he thinks the attack is going to be,” Pittman said during the SEC coaches teleconference Wednesday. “They’re really fine. They’re 2 outstanding linebackers, but I think they really showcase their abilities by what they’re doing on defense. Obviously they do a really fine job with all their movements and things of that nature, but they’re going to showcase those 2 guys because they’re very talented, very, very physical.”
Jett Johnson and Nathaniel Watson, 2 of Mississippi State’s star linebackers, have combined for 83 tackles and 9.5 sacks this season. The 2 are certainly looking for a big game on Saturday as they look to notch their first SEC win of the season.
