The road from Springfield, Missouri, to Conway, Arkansas, runs right past the Pig Trail.
One of the more twisted and winding state highways in the nation, the Pig Trail served as the scene where Bobby Petrino met his end as head coach of the Razorbacks. The coach quickly popped back up at Western Kentucky before revisiting Louisville during the Lamar Jackson years.
There are always two constants with a Petrino coaching regime, plenty of early success as an offensive juggernaut and a crash with a team revolt at the end. Missouri State heads into its third season with Petrino and have projections to be a major contender in the FCS Playoffs.
Central Arkansas is set to play its fifth season under head coach Nathan Brown. Famous for playing on the purple and gray field, the Bears last made the FCS Playoffs in 2019 but have been a mediocre .500 team since the pandemic season of 2020.
