FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas will look to avoid a letdown when it hosts Troy on Saturday night.

The No. 14 Razorbacks (2-0) have started the season in strong fashion, outscoring their opponents by a combined 103-10. However, with a trip to No. 2 Alabama looming next week, Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino knows there can’t be a letdown against the Trojans (0-1).

Quarterback Tyler Wilson and receiver Jarius Wright have helped the Razorbacks open the season as the top scoring offense in the Southeastern Conference.

Arkansas will be without Wright this week as he recovers from a knee sprain. Defensive end Jake Bequette (hamstring) is also expected to miss the game.

Troy will count on quarterback Corey Robinson as it tries to rebound from a 43-19 loss at Clemson to open the season.
