11 Alabama - The biggest mismatch favors the Vols A pair of winless teams in SEC play desperately need to get on the board to keep bowl hopes alive. Mississippi State needs all the help it can get against an Arkansas defense that’s better than what that 5-game losing streak would suggest. Even though he left the Bulldogs’ last game early, he’s still averaging 99 scrimmage yards per contest and he’ll be the focal point of the offense if he’s out there. He’s 10th in the SEC in quarterback rating (138.7) and the Mississippi State passing game ranks No. At the same time, Rogers has had a slow transition to Kevin Barbay’s offense so far. Arkansas is favored by a touchdown in Fayetteville, so one would think that line would be even greater if both were expected to be out. Zach Arnett didn’t provide any update last week beyond that they were day-to-day. Rogers suffered an apparent left shoulder injury while Marks returned to the sideline in a walking boot.

Oh! We’ve also got a battle of teams who are winless in SEC play. Don’t let anyone tell you that Week 8 in the SEC is lacking. And we’ve got the suddenly electric Mizzou offense taking on the worst passing defense in America. We’ve got Lane Kiffin traveling to Auburn after last year’s late-season speculation that he’d leave Ole Miss to take the job on The Plains. We’ve got the Tennessee-Alabama rematch that figures to have a much different feel than last year with a pair of inconsistent offenses.
