The No. 25 Arkansas Razorbacks make their first road trip this weekend as they get ready to travel to Starkville for an SEC matchup against No. 23 Mississippi State at Davis Wade Stadium.
The Mississippi State Bulldogs invite the Razorbacks, who have one of the worst pass defenses in the country. But, ironically, the Bulldogs have the best passing offense in the SEC. Of course, that shouldn’t be a surprise; Mike Leach is the head coach.
Leach has never beaten sam pittman since the two joined the SEC, but this is the perfect opportunity for Leach to change that.
The Aggies, fresh off a big win against Texas A&M, entered the top 25 for the first time, checking in at No. 23.
The Razorbacks need a win to end their two-game skid and a chance to gain a spot back into the top 25. To do that, they need to keep tabs on these six players.

Rogers is third in the country in passing yards with 1,715 yards. His best game this season came against Bowling Green when he threw six touchdowns and completed 78% of his passes. Numbers that can be duplicated against the Razorbacks’ secondary.
