Intangibles
OLE MISS LSU QB Jayden Daniels did not cope with the Fayetteville cold well last week, so how will Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart handle it? The Rebels could be in the running for a January bowl, so the incentive is there to finish up strong. Overcoming the physiological grief from losing a chance to upset Alabama last week is a key component to a sharp showing by the Rebels.
ARKANSAS How eager are the Razorbacks to snag that elusive sixth win and bowl eligibility? The Hogs got there on their first try last year and this will be the third of 2022. If QB KJ Jefferson can play, he’ll have a second shot at his homestate school, which he lit up last season. The defense seemed to turn a corner in the past 6 quarters, so the onus is on the offense and the run game to re-ignite the Hogs.
