Arkansas lost five of eight games by seven points or fewer last season. HC Sam Pittman is eager for a bounce-back year to save his job, and he hired Bobby Petrino to rework the offense. The Razorbacks, who won 70-0 last week, return 17 starters, including nine on offense. Plus, they added QB Taylen Green from Boise State (229 passing yards, 88 rushing yards and four total TDs last week) and Utah transfer Ja'Quinden Jackson (eight carries for 101 yards and two TDs last week).
The Oklahoma State hype train is a bit out of control if you ask me. The Cowboys barely outgained FCS South Dakota State last week (394 to 388), as the Jackrabbits averaged more yards per play. The Pokes were held to 3.8 yards per carry, as Ollie Gordon needed 28 carries to rush for 126 yards. OSU's defense was atrocious last season (441.8 total yards allowed per game), struggling against the run (166.8 rushing yards allowed per game).
With the spread at more than a touchdown, I like Arkansas to cover on Saturday.
