In 1989, the Arkansas Razorbacks had a great season, winning their first five games and ranked No. 7 in the nation.
After a loss at Texas, Ken Hatfield's Hogs won their next five games but the Southwest Conference champions, for a second consecutive season, lost a heart-breaker in the Cotton Bowl, 31-27 to Tennessee, after a late fumble.
The third victory of that season was 39-7 over Texas El-Paso at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.
This Saturday, the Hogs open the season at Reynolds Razorback Stadium against the Miners, and most feel another 39-7 victory is in the future as UTEP has 11 starters back from a 7-6 season.
