The season starts today! Arkansas will travel to War Memorial Stadium to play Arkansas Pine Bluff. It'll be the second meeting between the two programs in three years.

In 2021, the Hogs scored 45 points in the first half while holding UAPB to zero. The rushing game was king that season, finishing No. 9 in the country in yards per game. Arkansas went for 291 yards on the ground but only scored one of their five touchdowns in the same fashion.

This season, the Razorbacks have a completely different offense, with Bobby Petrino in control of the reins. The passing game might take over this season. However, don’t count out the ground attack with Ja’Quinden Jackson and the rest of the running back room.

On the other hand, UAPB will also look completely different under head coach Alonzo Hampton and offensive coordinator Tony Hull. The Golden Lions will try to use their speed to stretch the defense laterally with screens and quick passes to the numbers.

Here’s how you can watch or listen Arkansas’s game versus UAPB.
