<h2>
Arkansas Struggling On Offense, Defense<br />
</h2>
<p>
Not much has gone right for the Arkansas Razorbacks this season, and the blame can be shared between the offense and the defense. Arkansas comes into this game averaging just over 25 points per game which is one of the worst scoring averages in college football. The Razorbacks have used three different quarterbacks this season, but the trio has completed just 55 percent of their passes this season. Wide receiver Cheyenne O’Grady has been a bright spot for Arkansas on offense, catching 27 passes and scoring six times this season.
</p>
<p>
Defensively the Razorbacks have been even worse than their offense. Arkansas is allowing close to 33 points per game this season, and things have gotten worse for them in SEC play. The Razorbacks did hold LSU to just 24 points last week and will look to do the same against a struggling Mississippi State team in this game. The Razorbacks have had better success stopping the run than the pass this season, which could play a role in this contest.
</p>
<h2>
Bulldogs Defense Has Been Elite<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Mississippi State Bulldogs feature one of the top defenses in the country, and they have been playing well of late. Mississippi State is allowing just 13.5 points per game this season, which is the fifth best average in college football. The Bulldogs have given up only 166 passing yards per game, and their defensive line is one of the best in the country. They allowed just 24 points to an Alabama team that leads the nation in scoring a week ago.
</p>
<p>
Offensively, Mississippi State needs better play from their quarterback Nick Fitzgerald. The senior has thrown just 10 touchdowns to seven interceptions this season while completing only over 50 percent of his passes. He has scored nine rushing touchdowns and leads the team with over 800 rushing yards.

Arkansas Hangs Tough

This game will not be one of the marquee matchups of week 12 but could be one of the more competitive ones on the schedule. The Razorbacks almost knocked off a top-10 opponent in LSU a week ago, and look to be playing better of late. Mississippi State is trying to rebound after getting shut out in a loss to top-ranked Alabama. The Bulldogs will come away with a win in this game, but it won't be easy.
