Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks scores the Razorbacks' second touchdown in the first quarter during their 45-3 win against Pine Bluff at War Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021.

FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman doesn’t want the good vibes and momentum from the Razorbacks’ hot start to fade into a rough conclusion to the 2021 season.

That’s why these final four games are critical for the Razorbacks (5-3, 1-3 SEC) starting with Saturday’s 3 p.m. home game against high-flying Mississippi State at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

This will be Arkansas’ second-to-last home game of the season and its first after a much-needed open date that came after a 1-3 stretch with three consecutive conference losses followed by a 45-3 blowout of Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
