No 2. This senior-led defense went out in spectacular fashion for Arkansas football

The Hogs nearly held Mizzou to zero touchdowns in the game, allowing a garbage-time rushing touchdown by Badie.

The linebacker corp of Hayden Henry, Grant Morgan and Bumper Pool are all seniors and played their hearts out in this game.

Despite Badie’s big game, the defense never allowed him to rip off more than 17 yards at a time, limiting his big plays.

Perhaps even more impressive, the Razorbacks defense allowed just 65 passing yards the entire game. QB Connor Bazelak, usually good for close to 200 yards passing per game was held well below his average.

It’s a good feeling knowing we’ll get to see some of this guys don a Razorback uniform one more time in a bowl game, which should be announced soon.
