With three games remaining for Arkansas there are plenty of bowl game scenarios to consider. It’s not a total leap to map out a path that would land them in New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl. It’s also possible the Razorbacks land in a much less prestigious bowl.

There are plenty of ‘what ifs’ now that this team is ranked No. 15 in the BCS Standings with games remaining against LSU (No. 10 5) and Mississippi State (No. 20 19). Beating both will require Arkansas (7-2, 4-2) to continue improving, something they’ve done each week.

If the Razorbacks can continue to see growth in rushing (currently No. 89 nationally), net punting (No. 71) and kickoff returns (No. 103), they’ll be in great position to close strong. Below we take a look at those categories and more for Arkansas, which is ranked No. 14 in both the AP and USA Today polls.

Each week the NCAA and SEC release a comprehensive statistical look at college football teams. It's fascinating stuff, but most of you don't have time to go looking for it. We'll bring it to you here in the blog each week this season:
