How Arkansas’ opponents did in Week 4

Alabama visits Arkansas in Week 5 and the Crimson Tide are on a roll.

The meat of the SEC has arrived for the Arkansas football team.

Saturday’s loss to Texas A&M, 23-21, was a stinger and slipped the Razorbacks from the ranks of the unbeaten. But it isn’t as though the Aggies actually outplayed Arkansas, either.

The Hogs will learn and the Hogs will grow. And they’ll do so quickly, especially as Alabama heads to Fayetteville in Week 5. Arkansas can still not only play spoiler to the perpetual national-title contenders, but a win would get the Razorbacks right back to where they were pre-A&M, too.

The schedule will not get easier. That’s the SEC. Arkansas has plenty of opportunity upcoming to get things back in the win column and make plenty of national noise in doing so.

How did Arkansas’ opponents do in Week 2?

Arkansas’ schedule is still the hardest in the nation, but the Hogs have to be feeling good given what happened in Week 2.

Arkansas’ schedule before the season was rated as the toughest in the country. Technically, it still is.

But after Alabama barely survived against Texas and Texas A&M fell to a Sun Belt team, the Hogs’ path to the promised land at least looks a bit easier.

Of course, it’s still the SEC and anything could happen. Week 2 proved that.

Arkansas looked the part of contender in beating South Carolina, 44-30, at home, but the rest of the league looks a bit jumbled after two weeks. Let’s take a quick look at how every team on Arkansas’ schedule – even those outside the conference – did in Week 2.
