Arkansas Faces Tough SEC Test | Little Rock News

Arkansas’ 2026 schedule is brutal—every FBS opponent opened with a dominant win, averaging nearly 40 points. While teams like Utah, Georgia, and Tennessee crushed lesser foes, Arkansas barely eked out a 31-14 victory over FCS North Alabama, struggling with turnovers and a weak run game. Coach Ryan Silverfield called it unacceptable. Vanderbilt also looked sloppy in its win, while SEC powerhouses Texas A&M, South Carolina, and Texas cruised. Tulsa shocked Oklahoma State, LSU obliterated Clemson 51-10, and Auburn squeaked past Baylor. With the SEC off to a 15-0 start, Arkansas has a mountain to climb—and two massive tests against Utah and Georgia loom. If they don’t fix their issues fast, this season could be a long one.
