There might not be as much tension as there is in 'The Game' but the 'Battle Line Rivalry' between Missouri and Arkansas is starting to become m

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Following a 28-21 victory over the Arkansas football team, Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz said he thinks the Battle Line Rivalry game is growing. The series has been lopsided in Missouri’s favor since the teams began playing annually starting in 2014. The Tigers improved to 9-2 against Arkansas as SEC members.

For the fourth home conference game this season, Missouri and its head coach Eli Drinkwitz pulled a home game in Columbia, Mo., out of the fire at the end. Senior quarterback Brady Cooks 30-yard touchdown run with 1:53 left proved to the game-winning score in Missouri’s 28-21 Battle Line Rivalry win over Arkansas and continued a trend this season at Faurot Field.
