FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- — Ahmad Hardy ran for 149 yards and a touchdown while Jamal Roberts ran for another 100 yards and a score to lead Missouri to a 31-17 win over Arkansas on Saturday.

Hardy, who entered the game third in FBS in yards rushing, gave the Tigers (8-4, 4-4 Southeastern Conference) the lead, 20-17, on a 57-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Missouri added a field goal and a 67-yard punt-return touchdown from Kevin Coleman Jr. in the fourth quarter to go ahead by two scores.

Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz, an Arkansas native, had previously been bandied as a potential candidate for the Razorbacks’ open head-coaching job. He signed an extension to stay at Missouri earlier in the week and beat Arkansas in a rivalry game for the fourth straight season.
