Arkansas entered the season finale 9-2 after only suffering losses to teams from Alabama. The Razorbacks suffered a heartbreaker in Fayetteville to an Alabama team who would prove mortal that year, losing 24-20. They also suffered a defeat on the plains, as Auburn (the eventual National Champions) defeated the Hogs 65-43. That game was incredibly strange in retrospect, as Tyler Wilson was forced to fill in for an injured Ryan Mallett. The game was marred by controversial officiating, so much so that the University put forward a statement of concern regarding the crew. Arkansas was likely eliminated from National Championship contention, but had a great shot at getting a BCS Sugar Bowl invite with a win.
