COLUMBIA, MO. • A month ago Arkansas was the SEC West Division’s team on the rise: It was off to a 3-0 start including a win over Big 12 power Texas Christian University. On the morning of Sept. 24, Bret Bielema’s Razorbacks had won nine of their last 10 games going back to last season and posed a threat to the rest of the West.
The pork has since gone belly up.
The Hogs are 1-3 in their last four division games, getting outscored by 21, 19 and 53 points in the losses. Suddenly Arkansas needs an upset or an SEC road win to qualify for a bowl game.
