The 1977 Arkansas Razorbacks were coming off a disappointing 5-5-1 season under Frank Broyles who had stepped down as the Head Coach and assumed the role of Athletic Director. Lou Holtz was hired after a failed stint in the NFL and went on to lead the Razorbacks to an 11-1 record and 3rd in the final AP poll. As an end to one of the most memorable seasons in Arkansas Football history Holtz team beat Oklahoma 31-6 in the Orange Bowl.
This off season Bret Bielema's team has been getting a tremendous amount of attention from media after a great finish in 2014.
