The most surprising element of Arkansas’ 38-27 victory over Missouri State was not the final score, but the statistic that contributed most to that score.
Arkansas was minus-3 in turnover margin against the Bears with two lost fumbles and an interception. Prior to the game, the Razorbacks were plus-4 in turnover margin. They were plus-6 last season.
Quarterback KJ Jefferson and running back Raheim Sanders lost the fumbles during the first quarter.
