Arkansas survived a scare from its former coach Bobby Petrino on Saturday.
The Razorbacks overcame deficits of 17 points before halftime and 10 points in the fourth quarter to beat Petrino's Missouri State Bears 38-27 at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
Arkansas moved to 3-0 overall with the victory. The 10th-ranked Razorbacks return to SEC play next weekend with a game against No. 23 Texas A&M on a neutral field in Arlington, Texas.
