The annual Battle Line Rivalry is shaping up to be one of the most physical matchups of the season, as Arkansas and Missouri prepare for a ground-and-pound showdown. Both teams bring top-20 rushing attacks into the game, and both are expected to lean heavily on their backfields to dictate the pace, control possession, and outmuscle the opposition.
Arkansas enters averaging 203.8 rushing yards per game, while Missouri ranks even higher at 226.1 yards per game. For two programs that thrive on physicality and tempo, this matchup should be a throwback to old-school, run-first football.
