How did Arkansas’ opponents do in Week 3?
The SEC is a bear. Arkansas will find out in the next few weeks just how big that bear is.
Or, perhaps, maybe the Hogs are actually Grizzlies. Anyway, they beat the Bears in Week 3, regardless, which portends positive things for Arkansas going forward.
The Razorbacks head to Arlington, Texas, on to face off against suddenly-revitalized Texas A&M after the Aggies beat Miami (FL) on Saturday. A&M won nine straight games in the series before Sam Pittman and Hogs nicked them last year. The following Monday, Arkansas was ranked No. 8 in the country.
A win this year could probably lift the Hogs to the same, depending, of course, on who ahead of them might lose.
But things are about to get fun. Let’s take a look at how everyone else on the Arkansas schedule did heading into the first full, big week of conference play across college football.
