PREVIEW: These two teams haven’t met for 25 years so this week will be a little different for everyone. Last week the Razorbacks had to score a fourth quarter TD to pull out a 21-20 win vs LA-Tech while TCU amassed over 600 yards (400 passing) in a 59-41 win over So. Dakota St. But that isn’t new as they averaged over 560 yards a game and 42.1 points last season but their defense gave up over 450 yards with over 300 through the air. TCU had a very balanced attack with over 200 yards in the air and on the ground. If Arkansas can get a good passing game going TCU could be in trouble because that would open up the running. The public is evenly split on the line of at 50-50 according to Covers.com consensus analysis but 2/3 of bettors like the total to go over the number. TCU scored at least 45 points in six games last year and have put 59 on the board in their first game.
