Arkansas returns to action following a 31-21 win at Vanderbilt and a subsequent bye week. Entering Saturday night’s 6:45 p.m. kickoff, Missouri holds a 13-4 advantage in the 18-game all-time series, which includes six prior meetings in Fayetteville.

On the offensive side, quarterback KJ Jackson completed 21-of-31 passes for 251 yards and rushed 11 times for 58 yards and a touchdown against Vanderbilt. He became just the second Arkansas quarterback since 1995 to record 300 or more yards of total offense with at least one rushing score in a regulation SEC win, joining Taylen Green’s 2024 performance against Mississippi State.

Running back Cam Settles added two rushing touchdowns against Vanderbilt, becoming the first Razorback running back with multiple scores on the ground in a single game since Mike Washington Jr. notched two against Ole Miss on September 13, 2025. Additionally, the Razorbacks carry a streak of 65 consecutive games with a scored point—the fifth-longest stretch in program history—alongside a national-best streak of 243 consecutive extra points made dating back to December 5, 2020.
