Missouri defeated Arkansas 28-21 in a tightly contested Week 14 matchup marked by dramatic fourth-quarter swings. The Tigers struck first with a touchdown in the opening quarter, then held off a persistent Razorback offense to secure the victory.

Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green led the visiting offense with 229 passing yards, connecting with receivers including Andrew Armstrong on multiple crucial fourth-quarter drives. Missouri's Marcus Carroll paced the ground game with 90 rushing yards, while Marquis Johnson led the Tiger receiving corps with seven catches.

The fourth quarter proved decisive, featuring five of the game's most impactful plays. Missouri's Brady Cook engineered a pivotal 70-yard touchdown pass to Theo Wease Jr. and added a rushing touchdown with a two-point conversion pass to Luther Burden III to seal the contest. Arkansas mounted late rallies with Green finding Armstrong twice for first downs and connecting with Isaac TeSlaa, but the efforts fell short.

Missouri's third-quarter field goal provided crucial insurance. The game stayed well under the 51-point over-under line, with Missouri covering the three-point spread at home.
