The Hogs had a close call against Miami last week in their comeback victory. It was the first time Arkansas survived adversity this season, and hopefully, it gave the team confidence going forward.
Its next big test comes against Michigan on Tuesday, but before that, the Razorbacks must handle business against UTSA today.
The Roadrunners are 3-4, including losses to Saint Mary's, Troy, UALR, and Bradley. Arkansas and UTSA share two opponents — Troy and UALR — but the Hogs came away with overwhelming wins.
On paper, Arkansas should handle the Roadrunners with ease, but the Razorbacks tend to let less talented teams stay within striking distance well into the game. Can Arkansas finally put away a less talented team early, or will UTSA sneak out a victory over the Hogs? Here's how you can watch to find out:
