Offensive minds meet as Petrino, Lebby prepare for Arkansas-MSU clash

In this upcoming college football matchup, Arkansas' interim coach Bobby Petrino, 64, faces off against Mississippi State's head coach Jeff Lebby, 41, for the first time. Both coaches are known for their high-powered offenses, with Petrino keeping an eye on Lebby's rise and Lebby's teams earning a reputation for balanced attacks and high scoring. Despite facing similar challenges this season, neither team has won against top opponents. Turnovers could play a significant role, as Arkansas leads the conference in total turnovers but is last in turnover margin, while Mississippi State excels at taking the ball away. The game is set for three o'clock on SEC Network, with Mississippi State having won nine of the last thirteen matchups.
