The Battle Line Rivalry: Arkansas (7-4) v Missouri (3-8) (CBS, 2:30pm)

[TrueOrange]

It's time for the 2016 version of the annual day after thanksgiving games for the SEC. It's one of the SEC's newer rivalries, Arkansas v Missouri.

Arkansas is playing for perhaps a shot at a better bowl game and a first lead in the overall series against Missouri. The Tigers are just playing for pride and perhaps something to build on for next year.

It's a battle of two teams who gave up 42 and 63 points, respectively, last weekend.

The winner gets the Battle Line trophy.

There's a reason they have one of the worst defenses not just in the SEC, but in the entire country.

24-14 Arkansas with about 12 min left in the 3rd quarter.

Think so. Danielson in booth today with what sounds like Nesler

 

[Aesius]

Bielema should probably be inching towards the hot seat with a loss today.
