The Razorbacks are on to their season finale against Missouri after a season that's left many with mixed feelings. A win over the Tigers could sway the program back into the good graces of the fanbase. Mizzou might be overrated, but the game on Saturday should be quite the battle.

Statistically, Missouri has one of the best defenses in the country. Of course, its schedule wasn't the hardest, but the No. 16 defense is hard to obtain, regardless. With Arkansas's uncanny ability to shoot itself in the foot, the game might rest on the Razorbacks' ability to stop Mizzou's offense.

Razorbackers sat down with Truman's Tales Site Expert, Zack Sweet, to learn more about what Arkansas faces heading into Columbia.

Q & A with Truman's Tales' site expert Zack Sweet

Q: As a native Arkansan, this game means more to Eli Drinkwitz than most in the Natural State. How does the Mizzou fanbase feel about the Battleline Rivalry?

A: Mizzou's fanbase will always show up for the Arkansas game. I'm from Chicago, and new to the rivalry, but since getting to Mizzou in 2022 I've quickly picked up on the importance of this game.

Both teams want it badly every year, and with Drinkwitz at the helm, I'm sure it only adds to Battleline rivalry. Especially given the recent recruiting battles, I think Arkansas will have a fire lit under them as well. Should be a doozy on Saturday and I'm sure the fanbase will show out.
