GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: MSU offense vs. Arkansas defense. The Bulldogs have been held out of the end zone in three of their four losses and were shutout last week at Alabama. The Razorbacks sit 10th in the SEC in total defense and are allowing 32.7 points per game so MSU should have a chance to get its offense back on track.
DRAFT SLANT
–TE Justin Johnson has had a catch in 11 of the Bulldogs’ last 14 games and is currently enjoying his most productive year yet with 12 grabs for 174 yards. Johnson has also made a career-long 37-yard reception this season.
ROSTER REPORT
–LB Sh’mar Kilby-Lane is expected back this week after missing last week’s game with a lower body injury.
–S Jaquarius Landrews also missed last week’s game with a lower body injury but Moorhead is “cautiously optimistic” to have him back on Saturday.
–LB Leo Lewis was out for the Alabama game with an illness but is expected back this week.
–RB Kylin Hill remains day-to-day with a lower body injury suffered in the second half against LSU but has played in the two games since.
–LB Alec Murphy has been out with a lower body injury since Sept. 29 but could return to the field this week.
