Razorbacks Defy Expectations Despite 2-7 Record
16 Nov
Summary
- Arkansas's 2-7 record masks its competitiveness this season
- Razorbacks have threatened top teams like Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Texas A&M
- Arkansas became the 12th team in history to lose 7 games by single digits in one season
As of November 16th, 2025, the Arkansas Razorbacks have a disappointing 2-7 record on the season. However, their performance has been far more competitive than their record suggests. The Razorbacks have pushed several top teams to the brink, including Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Texas A&M.
Despite these close calls, the team has only managed to secure two wins so far, defeating Alabama A&M and Arkansas State in late August and early September. The Razorbacks' latest heartbreak came on November 11th, when they lost 23-22 to rival LSU, becoming the 12th team in the annals of major college football to lose seven times by single digits in a single season.
This dubious distinction was most recently achieved by Nebraska in 2021, when they lost nine games by single digits en route to a 3-9 campaign. Arkansas still has two games left on their schedule against Texas and Missouri, and they will be hoping to avoid a similar fate as the 1984 Indiana Hoosiers, who went 0-11 while losing eight games by single digits.
