Arkansas would fight back to a 22-18 score before Alabama took three of the next four points to win the set, 25-19, and the match, 3-0.

LSU 30, Ole Miss 27: This game will serve as another reminder that Ed Orgeron is better as an interim head coach than a full-time one. It has lost nine consecutive conference games.
Let’s jump into the predictions. “It’s as good as it gets in football, but the thing that makes them different is the rotation”. Both teams also are averaging over 40 points per game.
BSR: Oklahoma is going to get a road win simply because it has some semblance of a defense. First successful deep throw of the game for Hurts.
Oct 8, 2016; College Station, TX, USA; Texas A&M Aggies quarterback Trevor Knight (8) celebrates with his teammates after the win over the Tennessee Volunteers at Kyle Field.
The Aggies (6-0) are aiming to start a season 7-0 for the first time since 1994.
Trevor Knight was the QB that day for Oklahoma.
When you bet on the Texas A&M Aggies at the Alabama Crimson Tide in this great SEC affair on Saturday, make sure you understand the large point spread. With Alabama freshman QB Jalen Hurts growing more each and every week, another defensive performance like two weeks ago could see the Aggies blown out. The Tide faithful will want to catch College GameDay Saturday because, as ESPN MediaZone’s Rachel Margolis Siegal noted, Corso is only 3-3 over the last six times he has donned Alabama headgear.
The SEC West could be all but decided Saturday. The Blue Raiders are a very good Conference USA team and kept things close with Vanderbilt earlier this year.
PASS RUSHERS GALORE: The game features some of college football’s premier quarterback chasers. “I thought that our guys approached it the right way”.
In this matchup of the SEC’s only remaining undefeated teams, A&M must win in Tuscaloosa, Ala., in front of a national television audience to deliver the loud, clear statement that the school has emerged as a viable title threat in its new neighborhood. Not impossible, but any plan that involves Alabama losing two of its last three SEC games seems like a bad plan. Knight has passed for 200-plus yards and rushed for more than 80 in each of his last three league games. Mississippi State and the fans that attend this game. The Red Raiders averaged 57.0 points in wins over Louisiana Tech and Kansas but were held to 38 points in a loss to Kansas State and then 17 points in last week’s loss to West Virginia. I give the Razorbacks the edge this week, as they beat Ole Miss once again last week and showed they are still improving.
Record: Last week 14-7 straight; 9-11-1 vs. points. “I don’t know what category you would put the conversation in – whether it was “talking to” or we’ve talked about these elements of “ass chewings” before”.
Things don’t get any easier as MS faces two more ranked SEC teams next: LSU and then Auburn. Now it looks like LSU might be jumping back into the top three.

OR (plus 3) at California, Friday night: The Ducks have lost four straight and if they are going to have any realistic chance to get to six victories and bowl eligibility, this is a must-win.
