The previous game showcased Mississippi State's potent offense as they amassed a staggering 623 passing yards with a completion percentage of 60 percent. Their aerial attack was relentless, resulting in five passing touchdowns and an average gain of over seven yards per play. Despite being limited on the ground with only nine rushing yards, their efficiency in the red zone was perfect with four attempts and four successes.


Defensively, the Bulldogs were formidable against LSU, recording seven sacks and two interceptions while allowing 34 points. This defensive prowess will be crucial as they face an Arkansas team that managed to put up 21 points against them in their last encounter.


Special teams also played a significant role for Mississippi State; they executed flawlessly on field goals with a perfect success rate and demonstrated strong kickoff coverage that resulted in eight touchbacks from nine kickoffs.


However, ball security remains an area for improvement after losing two fumbles last game. Penalties were relatively controlled with only seven infractions costing them 40 yards.


Mississippi State fans can expect another high-octane performance from their team's offense while looking for continued strength on defense and special teams play. The home-field advantage at Davis Wade Stadium could provide the extra boost needed for victory.


Mark your calendars for October 3rd when this exciting contest kicks off at 6:30 PM local time (23:30 UTC). Fans can catch all the action live on SEC Network+ as both teams vie for supremacy on Scott Field's storied turf.
