Brandon Allen: Liberty Bowl: Arkansas (7-5) vs. KSU

With the stage set in Memphis for Saturday's game against Kansas State, the Arkansas Razorbacks can settle in and make their final preparations. Arkansas's defensive backs will be going up against the unstoppable Wildcats passing game, which has averaged 204.8 yards per game over their last five, quite a bit more than their season average of 177.1. However, while K-State may have done it first, Arkansas has done it better this season.

"I'm always leaning on him for stuff like that", he said. While I think the Hogs take this one, it maybe a closer game than some fans hope for. This game also determines whether Kansas State finishes above or below.500.

Through the air, QB Joe Hubener has had a very modest 1,837 passing yards with 9 TD's and 9 interceptions on the year, while completing only 47% of his passes. You don't get to Coach Snyder's level of renown by luck, he's a heck of a ball coach, and will have his Wildcats ready.

It's unclear if Cook or Hubener will start in the Liberty Bowl. Defensively, Kansas State football yields 442.4 yards and 30.3 points per game against the opposing teams.

Over on the other sideline, the Wildcats head into this bowl game with records of 6-6 for both ATS and SU. Kansas State has lost six of its last seven bowl games.

The Wildcats are appearing in their first Liberty Bowl while Arkansas is making a record fifth trip.

The Arkansas Razorbacks were 7-5 and finished tied for 3rd in the SEC West Division standings.

"Coach Snyder is relentless in his attitude toward bowl games". Alex Collins has 1392 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns for Arkansas.

A trio of single-season touchdown records are within reach for Arkansas' main skill players.

Kansas State has a 3-2 edge in the all-time series, but hasn't beaten the Razorbacks since 1926.
