Arkansas Razorbacks Set Kickoff Time for Must-Win Game Against Bulldogs
The Arkansas Razorbacks have announced the kickoff time for their crucial matchup against the Mississippi State Bulldogs. The game is set to begin at 3 p.m. on November 1, 2023, and will be broadcast live on the SEC Network. Both teams are in dire need of a victory as they seek to become bowl eligible this season.
Teams Struggling for Bowl Eligibility
Currently, the Razorbacks hold a 2-5 record and are 0-3 in the SEC, while Mississippi State stands at 4-3 but is also 0-3 in conference play. The Bulldogs are on a three-game losing streak and face the challenge of a matchup against the No. 22 Texas Longhorns prior to their visit to Fayetteville. This context adds pressure, as both teams must secure a win to keep their postseason hopes alive.
The Razorbacks have a notably tougher path to achieving six wins needed for bowl eligibility, as they can afford just one more loss. In contrast, Mississippi State requires only two additional wins to qualify. Notably, Arkansas is the only unranked opponent remaining on the Bulldogs’ schedule, enhancing the stakes for this encounter at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
While this game may not garner the same attention as high-profile matchups such as Georgia versus Alabama, it represents a significant opportunity for both teams. Each side must navigate their final five games with the aim of recording upsets to reach that coveted six-win mark.
