The Razorbacks won their first game in the SEC after they defeated South Carolina, 45–7, at Williams–Brice Stadium. The season was highlighted with a victory over #4 Tennessee in an upset, thanks to a game-winning 41-yard field goal from Todd Wright with just two seconds left in the game. Wright, who also secured two other 45+ yard field goals and a forced fumble, was named "player of the game" due to his efforts. The victory effectively kept the Volunteers out of a three-way tie for 1st place in the SEC East at season's end, as Tennessee finished one-game behind Division co-champions Florida and Georgia in the SEC's first year of divisional play. Arkansas ended their season with an upset against LSU 30–6.
