FAYETTEVILLE — In 30 seasons in the Southeastern Conference, Arkansas has won nine football games seven times.
That puts in perspective how unique last year was for the Razorbacks, who went 8-4 in the regular season and won a ninth game with a 24-10 victory over Penn State in the Outback Bowl. Three of Arkansas’ losses were to teams that played in a New Year’s Six bowl game, including two to national championship game participants Georgia and Alabama.
