The Missouri Tiger football team finishes the regular season Saturday afternoon when they play Arkansas in the Battle Line rivalry game at Fayetteville’s Donald Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
Eliah Drinkwitz’ Tigers are 7-4 and 3-4 in the Southeastern Conference. The Tigers aim to maintain possession of the trophy. Tiger running back Ahmad Hardy has been outstanding all season and is a finalist for the Doak Walker award, which is presented to the nation’s top running back. Hardy has 1,403 rushing yards, which is second nationally. Hardy has 983 yards after contact, which is best in the nation.
The 2-9 Razorbacks have an interim head coach: former Arkansas and Missouri State coach Bobby Petrino. The Hogs are led by athletic quarterback Taylen Green, who has 3,428 yards of total offense this season. He only needs 368 yards to break Arkansas’ single-season record.
