COLUMBIA, Mo. — In the 129th season of University of Arkansas football, the Razorbacks have lost four games by three or fewer points for the first time.
In Arkansas’ first five seasons from 1894-98 the Razorbacks didn’t play more than three games.
But since then they have played at least four games every season— and no fewer than seven since 1920 — without as many as four losses by three or fewer points until now.
Missouri’s 29-27 victory over Arkansas on Friday at Faurot Field had an all-too-familiar feel for the Razorbacks, who dropped to 0-4 in games in which a made field goal would have meant a victory or sent the game to overtime.
