My prediction is:
OSU wins if Arkansas scores less than 4 TDs. Basically, it'll boil down to how effectively our D-line can get to Mallet play after play. Expect Homan and Rolle to have good games. If Mallet has time to throw, he'll rip apart our secondary. Chekwa better show up and not commit pass-interference penalties. The good thing that OSU has going for them is that Arkansas doesn't like to run the ball too often (last couple games have been the exception), and OSU has a good run D. Playing against the spread has always been OSU's achilles heel. But, we play well against offenses with pocket-passers, imo.
That being said... OSU will win a close one. I expect Mallet to throw at least 1 interception. If Pryor doesn't run the ball in non-run designed plays, our offense will struggle.
