• Watch for the availability of star running back Tahj Brooks, who likely heads to the NFL this offseason.
• Top WR Josh Kelly opted out of this game and will enter the NFL Draft.

Arkansas Team Notes

• Finished with a losing conference record (3-5).

• All-SEC Andrew Armstrong opted out of this game.

Liberty Bowl betting

Last year, Memphis upset Iowa State as +10.5 underdogs, 36-26. Memphis continued a recent underdog streak. Seven of the last eight bowl games saw the underdog cover, with five of those underdogs winning outright. Over 57.5 points cleared, with 62 points being scored. The lone exception was a tight cover for Navy (-2) over Kansas State, 20-17 in 2019.

Last time the Razorbacks played in the game, Arkansas upended Kansas in a thrilling offensive showcase, 55-53, in triple overtime. Arkansas did not cover their -2.5 closing spread, but even a lofty 70-point over/under wasn't enough.

Four of the last six Liberty Bowl games saw the under cash, with last year and 2020 being the exceptions. The 2020 over cashed in that game between Army and West Virginia thanks to the point total being set at 41 points; the Mountaineers would win the game 24-21.

History

Below are historical results of the Liberty Bowl.

The first Liberty Bowl was played in 1959 in Philadelphia (hence the name "Liberty"), where Penn State beat Alabama 7-0. The game was moved to Memphis in 1965 when the construction of Liberty Stadium finished, with the 1964 bowl game held in Atlantic City, NJ.
