Missouri State football travels to Arkansas in Bobby Petrino's highly anticipated return

Bobby Petrino will make his long-awaited return to Fayetteville when he leads his Missouri State football program into Arkansas.

FCS No. 5 Missouri State will meet the FBS No. 10 Arkansas Razorbacks at 6 p.m. at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium on Saturday. The game is Petrino's first appearance in Fayetteville since he was fired by the Arkansas program just over a decade ago.

Both teams enter the game 2-0 and with sky-high expectations in their respective subdivisions.

The Bears, in their third year under Petrino, have made back-to-back postseasons and should be on their way to a third.
