Coming in at number 3 for the list is Arkansas vs Kentucky in 1998.

It was a game of firsts for Arkansas. It was only the fourth game for first-year head coach, Houston Nutt. This game would be the first ever meeting between the Razorbacks and the Wildcats.

There was no denying that Little Rock loved Houston Nutt, so for his first season, they packed War Memorial Stadium out and got that place rocking. Tim Couch would pick away at the Hogs defense to build a solid 20-7 lead but it wouldn’t be enough. Arkansas legend, Clint Stoerner would rally the Razorbacks for 20 straight points to come back and beat Kentucky 27-20.

The 1998 season would go on to be a historic season for Houston Nutt. Arkansas would end up going 9-3 in the regular season and lose to Michigan in the Citrus Bowl. Sadly, this would be the second best regular season record for Nutt.
