NOTABLE Friday’s game will be the final game this season for both teams. Arkansas has been eliminated from bowl contention and Missouri, which could record its sixth victory of the season in Little Rock, is banned from the postseason this year….Missouri has won three consecutive games over Arkansas and four of five since the Tigers joined the SEC. Mizzou rallied from double-digit deficits to beat Arkansas in 2016 and 2017, and won 38-0 last season….Both teams will be coached by former players in the program. Arkansas interim head coach Barry Lunney Jr. was the Razorbacks’ starting quarterback from 1992-95, and Missouri coach Barry Odom was a linebacker for the Tigers from 1996-99. It is the first time in 12 years that an Arkansas game will include head coaches who used to play for both teams. It last happened in 2007 when Arkansas, coached by Houston Nutt, played Tennessee, coached by Phillip Fulmer….Arkansas is playing a game at War Memorial Stadium for the 72nd consecutive season, but for the last time until it hosts Missouri in 2021. This year’s game is the first in a new contract between the Razorbacks and War Memorial Stadium that was agreed upon last year and includes benchmarks for tickets sold and ticket revenue….Arkansas has not defeated an FBS team in Little Rock since a 44-17 victory over Mississippi State in 2011. Since then, the Razorbacks have lost to Ole Miss twice, Mississippi State, Georgia, Louisiana-Monroe and Toledo. Arkansas’ last three wins at the stadium were against FCS teams Samford, Alcorn State and Florida A&M….Arkansas has lost 18 consecutive SEC games dating to 2017. That is the longest conference losing streak by an SEC team since Vanderbilt lost 23 in a row from 2000-03….The starting quarterback is in flux for both teams. Arkansas’ depth chart this week indicates that KJ Jefferson, Nick Starkel or Jack Lindsey could start the game, and Missouri starting quarterback Kelly Bryant re-aggravated a hamstring injury during the Tigers’ game against Tennessee last week….If Jack Lindsey starts for Arkansas, he will be the fifth quarterback to start in the past five games. It is believed that the Razorbacks have never had five different starting quarterbacks in the same season….Missouri’s roster includes four Arkansans who have played prominent roles this season. Quarterback Taylor Powell, receiver Barrett Bannister and defensive tackle Akial Byers are from Fayetteville, and defensive tackle Markell Utsey is from Little Rock Parkview….Jonathan Nance, who was Arkansas’ top big-play receiver in 2017 but quit the Razorbacks’ team midway through last year, is one of Missouri’s top receivers this season with 28 receptions for 420 yards and 3 touchdowns....The 2020 Arkansas-Missouri game will be played at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
