Mississippi St.-Arkansas Preview

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Arkansas coach Bret Bielema hopes to extend his November touch when the surging Razorbacks try for their fifth straight win against Mississippi State on Saturday.

Bielema was 19-5 in November in seven seasons at Wisconsin, and the Razorbacks (6-4, 4-2 Southeastern Conference) have won both of their games under their third-year coach this month - back-to-back road wins over ranked opponents Mississippi and LSU.

Arkansas' turnaround after an early three-game losing streak has come behind an offense that's second in the SEC with an average of 469.3 yards per game.

The Bulldogs (7-3, 3-3) have plenty of offensive ability of their own, thanks to quarterback Dak Prescott, and they are eager to rebound from last week's 31-6 loss to No. 3 Alabama.
