Beyond the box score: Big plays key Arkansas over Missouri

Arkansas proved itself a special team in its regular-season finale against Missouri.

Future. Predicted.

In our morning pre-game Keys to the Game for Arkansas’ offense, we highlighted the Razorbacks’ need for balance while still exploiting the Missouri defense with the best offensive player Arkansas’ had since Darren McFadden.

Sure enough, the Hogs did exactly that.

Treylon Burks went off in possibly his last home game. KJ Jefferson spread the wealth to his receives and backs. And the Arkansas offense avoided almost any mistake in a 34-17 win over Missouri that was even more dominant than that.

It was quite the capper to Arkansas’ best season in a decade. The Hogs finished the regular season 8-4 and now only wait to see where they’ll play during bowl season.
