Arkansas To Open Season Tonight Vs. UAPB

Hogs Look To Get Off To A Hot Start

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The No. 19 Arkansas Razorbacks will open the 2023 football season tonight when they host the UAPB Golden Lions at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. CT and the game will be televised on SEC Network+.

The Razorbacks are coming off a 9-4 season in 2022, while the Golden Lions finished 3-8.

Arkansas is a heavy favorite in tonight’s game, but the Razorbacks know they can’t take UAPB lightly.

Here are a few things to watch for in tonight’s game:

• KJ Jefferson’s performance: The senior quarterback is one of the best in the SEC and he will need to have a big game if the Razorbacks are going to win.
• The running game: Arkansas has a talented running back duo in Raheim Sanders and AJ Green. The Razorbacks will need to establish the run early and often.
• The defense: The Razorbacks defense was one of the best in the SEC last season. They will need to continue to play well if the Razorbacks are going to be successful in 2023.

The Razorbacks are hoping to get off to a hot start in 2023. A win over UAPB would give them a lot of confidence heading into next week’s game against No. 1 Alabama.
