The Arkansas Razorbacks will take on the Georgia Southern Eagles at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman is off to a dream start in his second season, beating Rice and then hammering Texas 40-21 as six-point underdogs. Now Arkansas is up to No. 20 in the AP Top 25 but it will need to be disciplined against Chad Lunsford's power rushing attack at Georgia Southern in a letdown spot.
Georgia Southern is coming off a 38-6 loss to Florida Atlantic but has been to bowl games in each of the last three seasons under Lunsford. The Razorbacks are favored by 23.5-points in the latest Arkansas vs. Georgia Southern odds from Caesars Sportsbook and the over-under is set at 52.5.

What you need to know about Arkansas
Arkansas ran circles around the Texas Longhorns last Saturday, and the extra yardage (471 yards vs. 249 yards) paid off. Arkansas strolled past Texas, taking the matchup 40-21. Arkansas relied on the efforts of RB AJ Green, who punched in one rushing touchdown, and RB Trelon Smith, who also punched in one rushing touchdown of his own.
Arkansas employed a balanced rushing attack, with four different runners piling up over 50 yards on the ground and four different rushers scoring rushing touchdowns on the way to a 333-yard rushing day. Meanwhile, the Arkansas defense limited Texas to just 4.0 yards per play with linebackers Hayden Henry and Grant Morgan both registering at least 13 total tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss.
What you need to know about Georgia Southern
Meanwhile, things couldn't have gone much worse for the Eagles as they lost 38-6 to the Florida Atlantic Owls last Saturday. The Georgia Southern running game was uncharacteristically flat in the loss, with Georgia Southern registering just 139 yards on the ground and averaging 3.7 yards per carry.
The team ran for 365 yards the week prior against Gardner-Webb and averaged 267.2 yards per game on the ground in 2020. Against a physical group of Arkansas linebackers, Logan Wright, Amare Jones, Gerald Green and Cam Ransom will all need to make contributions to keep the Razorbacks off-balance.
