The Arkansas football team will face its first real test of the 2023 season today against BYU. The Razorbacks beat the Cougars 52-35 a year ago in Utah.

Head coach Sam Pittman is looking to start 3-0 for the third consecutive season. The Razorbacks have not started 3-0 in three consecutive seasons since 1977-1979 when the legendary Lou Holtz patrolled the sidelines.
