Arkansas Razorbacks, Red Wolves Face First Football Meeting in Little Rock

The Arkansas Razorbacks and Arkansas State Red Wolves are set to face each other for the first time in football history this Saturday at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, with both teams holding 1-0 records after their season openers. Arkansas, led by head coach Sam Pittman, recently dominated Alabama A&M 52-7, with quarterback Taylen Green throwing six touchdown passes, while Arkansas State secured a 42-24 win over Southeast Missouri State. Pittman emphasized the significance of this in-state matchup, noting it will be easier for his team to prepare and focus compared to their previous game. Despite Arkansas’ strong win, the team acknowledges areas needing improvement, especially on defense, as they prepare for the game. Additionally, the Arkansas women’s soccer team, ranked No. 8, is scheduled to play No. 11 BYU, marking a challenging match against a fellow top-ranked opponent. This game highlights the competitive athletic environment among Arkansas collegiate teams this season.
