How Arkansas opponents did in Week 10
A 5-4 record isn’t a bad record. But at Arkansas, given the way the Razorbacks have achieved the record and with what lies ahead in the final three games of the regular season, a 5-4 record is troubling.
Arkansas is coming off a loss to Liberty on Saturday, 21-19, in a game the Hogs were favored by about two touchdowns. Next week, Arkansas returns to SEC play against LSU, the same LSU that beat Alabama on Saturday, the same Alabama that beat Arkansas handily in Week 5.
After that? Ole Miss, which is ranked ahead of both the Tigers and Crimson Tide. And, finally, Missouri, which lost to ranked Kentucky on Saturday by only four points.
The reality is that Arkansas could be in a heap of trouble. Following last year’s 8-4 record, a 5-7 record is a distinct possibility.
And it can’t just be blamed on the schedule. The truth is that Arkansas hasn’t beaten a quality team since Week 1 against Cincinnati.
Let’s examine what all of Arkansas’ opponents did in Week 10.
