This was the first season since War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock opened that the Razorbacks did not play at least one home game in the stadium. Arkansas was scheduled to play the annual Red/White spring game at War Memorial in April at the conclusion of spring practice, but the SEC did not approve those plans.
On October 3, Arkansas defeated No. 16 Mississippi State, 21–14, snapping a 20-game SEC losing streak.[1] The win was the Razorbacks' first conference win since October 2017, their first win against a ranked team since November 2016, and their first road win against a ranked SEC team since November 2015. After the regular season, the Razorbacks accepted a bid to the Texas Bowl. Slated to face TCU, the bowl was canceled when TCU withdrew due to COVID-19 issues within their program.
Schedule
Arkansas had non-conference games scheduled against Charleston Southern, Louisiana–Monroe, Nevada, and Notre Dame that were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] In August 2020, the SEC revealed a revised ten-game conference schedule, consisting of the eight conference games previously scheduled plus an additional two interdivisional games, one home and one away, for each team. After Arkansas was scheduled to play Georgia and Florida, the top two teams in the SEC's Eastern Division in 2019, athletic director Hunter Yurachek stated that Arkansas had "the most challenging schedule in the history of college football."[4][5] Arkansas' full ten-game schedule, consisting of five home games and five away games, was released by the conference on August 17.[6]
On November 23, Arkansas' game against Missouri was postponed due to an increase in COVID-19 cases within the Arkansas program.[7] On November 27, the SEC revised the schedules of multiple teams, moving the Arkansas–Missouri contest to December 5 and the Arkansas–Alabama game to a date to be determined, later scheduled for December 12.[8][9] The Razorbacks were selected to participate in the 2020 Texas Bowl against TCU, but the game was canceled two days beforehand because of COVID-19 concerns in the Horned Frogs' program.[10]
