Missouri State football travels to face Arkansas. Follow along for live score updates, analysis

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — FCS No. 5 Missouri State is on the road this week to play FBS No. 10 Arkansas in what will surely be an interesting evening in the Natural State.

Bobby Petrino, in his third year as MSU's head coach, makes his return to Fayetteville, where he had a tremendous amount of success as the Razorbacks' head coach from 2008-11. His infamous motorcycle crash and scandal before the 2012 season led to his firing.

It is unclear how he will be received when he steps onto the Donald W. Reynolds Razorbacks Stadium field.

The Razorbacks are heavy favorites entering the game, but they haven't shown any signs that they'll take the Bears lightly.
