Arkansas can only play spoiler on Friday against Missouri.
But what a spoiler it would be.
For the first time in several years, the Tigers, though are not only the better team record-wise but talent-wise, too. Their 9-2 record to this point is perhaps the most surprising power-conference story in FBS this year. A win over Arkansas would give Mizzou 10 wins for the first time in a decade.

While there aren’t many storylines, per se, there are loads of talented players. Let’s check out some of them.
