Arkansas coach Sam Pittman is preparing his team for a tough matchup against border-rival Missouri, a team they have never beaten in Columbia. Despite both teams already securing bowl eligibility, Pittman believes a win could mean a better bowl location and help with recruiting. Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz is focused on sending off his senior class the right way, emphasizing the importance of rivalry week.
Missouri has dominated the series lately, winning seven of the last eight games, including a 48-14 victory last year. However, Arkansas played them tough the year before, losing by just two points.
Brady Cook will be playing his final game for Missouri, looking to end his career on a high note. Arkansas will rely on Taylen Green, who has been a force on offense despite some tough losses. Both teams are dealing with injuries, with wide receiver Mookie Cooper out for Missouri and defensive end Nico Davillier sidelined for Arkansas.
After the game, construction will begin on the north end zone of Faurot Field, marking the end of an era for the iconic setup. Both teams are eager to end their seasons with a win, with Pittman and Drinkwitz hoping for momentum heading into the offseason.
