Rebels Poised to Overcome Fayetteville Woes
Rebels Seek Redemption on the Road
The Rebels have struggled mightily in Fayetteville in recent years, posting a dismal 2-8 record at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium since 2002. This history of road woes against the Razorbacks has only fueled the Rebels' determination to turn the tide and secure a much-needed victory.

The Razorbacks boast a high-powered offense led by quarterback Taylen Green, who is coming off a 58-point performance against Mississippi State. However, the Rebels' defense has proven to be up to the task, consistently slowing down the conference's top offenses.

The latest injury report, published 90 minutes before kickoff, will provide the final update on his availability. Meanwhile, the weather conditions in Fayetteville have been a topic of discussion, with a light drizzle expected to taper off by the start of the game. The Rebels will need to navigate these potential obstacles and focus on executing their game plan to secure a crucial road victory.Betting Odds and Predictions
