Tech-Arkansas pits red-hot offense, stellar defense
Saturday’s Texas Tech-Arkansas game could be one of those irresistible force-immovable object matchups, based on recent results.
Tech has averaged nearly 48 points in the last five games Patrick Mahomes II has started at quarterback.
That’s not counting Mahomes’ first start, when he was knocked out in the second quarter last Nov. 1 against Texas. And the average is, admittedly, skewed by 59- and 69-point games against non-power-five opponents this season.
Arkansas has allowed only 13.3 points per game in its last 10 games, a stretch that includes six Southeastern Conference opponents last season and a bowl game.
