If you root for the Hogs, Missouri's coach had some words for you. Eli Drinkwitz, an Alma native who also coached at nearby Springdale High School, poked at the changes Arkansas coach Ryan Silverfield has touted, from replacing light bulbs inside the football facility to the stadium's new LED lights and overhauled sound.

“All the new lights they put in look good, man. That stadium was good tonight, and I know it was a big deal for them to get the lightbulbs changed out.”

That's his mark against his home-state program.

Asked what stood out about Silverfield's team, Drinkwitz said, "Good football team. They're figuring out who they are." Best of Arkansas Sports counts the win as Missouri's 10th over Arkansas in the last 11 years.
