Like Arkansas here they are more balanced on both sides of the ball. Ranked 80th in stopping the run they will have their hands full but with 8 extra days to prepare and they are preparing for a one dimensional running QB which in the past teams have had a lot of success when given the time to stop those types of offenses. Look at what Michigan did and look at Georgia Tech’s struggles in bowl games. I think Arkansas has plenty of talent and getting Jake Bequette back healthy who has 8.5 sacks despite missing 3 games will be huge factor in this game. Kansas State has given up 91 TFL and 36 sacks on the flip side they just can’t get to opposing QB’s sacking them 19 times one of the reasons why they are among the worst in pass defense in a pass happy Big 12. I just think this is a bad match up vs. the best passing team in the SEC.

Arkansas has all kinds of speed that’s going to give Kansas State issues on the turf of Cowboys Stadium. Not to mention that Arkansas is used to playing here and should have a major advantage in the crowd atmosphere. Joe Adams is explosive at WR and has 3 punt returns for TD’s and Jarius Wright should cause a major match up. Kansas State gave up 500+ yards passing twice and will have their hands full with Tyler Wilson who doesn’t turn the ball over just 6 interceptions all year. Kansas State has 18 and has relied on that for most of the year to win games. Game may be close early, but I think Arkansas takes the game over because they can run. Dennis Johnson came on strong late averaging 6.3 ypc and Kansas State’s run defense struggled big time down the stretch 5.17ypc allowed over their last 5 games. Arkansas is also better on third down on the defensive end and in red zone defense allowing 57.5% TD’s in 7 less attempts to Kansas State’s 68%.
