Two teams with interim coaches face off on Saturday, and Frank Wilson plans to start quarterback Garrett Nussmeier and backup Michael Van Buren Jr. against the Razorbacks. Nussmeier was benched for Van Buren in the third quarter in the Tigers' 20-9 loss to Alabama. However, Van Buren finished just 5-for-11 for 52 yards with two sacks. Arkansas had a better showing and was ahead of Mississippi State 28-21 after three quarters, but it was outscored 17-7 and ultimately lost 38-35. However, Arkansas outgained the Bulldogs 433-388, but was penalized 18 times for 193 yards. If they can cut down on those miscues, the Razorbacks can keep this game close, and QB Taylen Green is expected to play after being hurt on the final offensive snap against Mississippi State. Green threw for 194 yards and a TD with no interceptions. LSU has lost three games in a row, being outscored 100-58. The Tigers managed only 59 yards rushing on 2.27 yards per carry against Alabama. The Tigers are 1-6 ATS following a loss. Arkansas is 16-4-1 ATS in its past 21 games playing on natural grass. Take Arkansas.
