Texas State gave up a lot to Ohio. While Arkansas isn’t an offensive power, the Razorbacks should be much bigger and faster than Texas State. It’s hard to see the Bobcats getting many defensive stops in this game. With that said, Arkansas hasn’t been showing a tremendous defense thus far. Texas State has some offensive skill and will find the end zone a few times during this beating. With the Bobcats being able to score, that should be good enough to hit the over.
