One of three ranked vs. ranked matchups in week one of the College Football season will be played in Fayetteville, Arkansas this Saturday, when No. 23 Arkansas hosts No. 22 Cincinnati.
Cincinnati has been one of the best Group of Five programs over the last three seasons. The Bearcats have won every regular season game dating back to 2020, and have just competed in the College Football Playoff, the first team from their division to accomplish that feat.
However, the Bearcats have lost three key stars from last season’s team in quarterback Desmond Ridder, running back Jerome Ford, and cornerback Sauce Gardner.
Sure, Cincinnati will still be a great football team in 2022, but how long will it take them to adjust?
Experts across the College Football landscape are projecting Arkansas to win on Saturday, and we at Razorbacks Wire agree. Here are three reason’s why Arkansas will get the season-opening victory on Saturday afternoon.
