How to Watch, Listen as Razorbacks Try to End Losing Skid
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas (3-3, 1-3 SEC) suddenly finds itself at a crossroads halfway though the season and they have to go to Provo, Utah, to figure out the direction it goes.
The Razorbacks face BYU (4-2) on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at LaVell Edwards Stadium. The game will be televised on ESPN and fuboTV.
It is the first time the two teams have met.
The Hogs will become just the second team to ever play in Provo (Mississippi State is the other).
The Cougars are 4-6 all-time against SEC schools with their most recent experience being a 29-26 win in double-overtime at Tennessee during the 2019 season.
"A lot of respect for BYU and the way they play. Boy, they play hard," said Hogs coach Sam Pittman this week. "They have a lot of good players, starting with their quarterback Hall. But I don’t think anybody on our team has been to BYU and we’re excited to play an out of conference game with a great opponent like BYU. Looking forward to it."
Game Notes
• BYU is receiving votes in both the AP Top 25 Poll and the USA Today Coaches Poll. All six of Arkansas’ FBS opponents this season have either been ranked or received votes. Since 2020, 22 of Arkansas’ 28 FBS opponents have either been ranked or received votes in the national polls.

• Under Pittman, the Razorbacks are a perfect 7-0 against non-conference opponents. Pittman is the first Arkansas head coach since Lou Holtz (1977-78) to win his first seven games against non-conference foes.
