History
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (January 2008) |
Pre-Broyles era (1894-1957)
The first University of Arkansas football team was formed in 1894 and coached by John Futrall. Before the 1909 season, Arkansas was called the Cardinals and a bird was the school's mascot. The name and mascot changed following the 1909 season when the football team, coached by Hugo Bezdek, finished 7-0. During this season Bezdek proclaimed his team played "like a wild band of Razorback hogs" and the phrase was so popular that the Cardinals changed their name for the 1910 season.[1]
Broyles era (1958-1976)
Frank Broyles was hired as head football coach in 1957 and served in that position for 19 years.
Broyles' team was awarded the 1964 National Championship by the Football Writers Association of America and the Helms Athletic Foundation.[2][3] The FWAA and HAF awarded their National Championships to Arkansas, who was the only team to go undefeated through the bowl games that year, as Alabama lost in the Orange Bowl to Texas, a team Arkansas had defeated. At the time, the AP and UPI awarded their national titles before the bowl games, and gave their trophies to the University of Alabama.[4]
The next season, 1965, the Razorbacks were 10-0 in the regular season, and were once again the Southwest Conference Champions. That sent the Razorbacks back to the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day, this time to play against LSU. Because of the controversy in determining the national champions in 1964, the AP polls would wait until after the bowl games to announce its champion. With top-ranked Michigan State losing in the Rose Bowl, the Razorbacks had a chance to become national champions, but were defeated 14–7.[1]
In 1969, the Razorbacks had another chance to claim the national title, when #2 Arkansas played the #1 Texas Longhorns, coached by Darrell Royal, at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The game, known as "The Big Shootout" or the Game of the Century, is perhaps the most notable football game in Razorbacks history. Arkansas led 14-0 at halftime, but Texas stormed back and took a 15-14 lead on a two-point conversion play, after a questionable passing play was called late in the game by then coach Frank Broyles, which was intercepted by Texas. President Richard Nixon was in attendance, and proclaimed Texas the national champions, even though they had a bowl game to play, and Penn State was also undefeated. Sadly, Arkansas would lose to Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl, 22–27, and Texas would beat Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl for the national title.[5]
Broyles would win his last Southwest Conference championship (7 in all) in 1975. Arkansas defeated the #2 ranked Texas A&M Aggies, 31-6, at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. That victory forced A&M to share the conference championship with Arkansas, and sent the Hogs to the Cotton Bowl on January 1st, 1976. Arkansas would fall behind Georgia early on in that game, but came roaring back to beat the Bulldogs easily, 31-10. Arkansas finished ranked #7 in the AP and #6 in the UPI that season.
Holtz era (1977-1983)
After Broyles left coaching and became athletic director at Arkansas, he hired Lou Holtz to take his former position. Holtz served as head football coach from 1977 through the 1983 season.
In his first year at Arkansas, Holtz led the Razorbacks to a 10-1 record and was invited to play in the Orange Bowl against number two Oklahoma. With top ranked Texas losing in the Cotton Bowl, the Sooners had a chance to become national champions but the Razorbacks ended the Sooners' hope with a 31–6 victory.[1]
In 1979, the Razorbacks were 10-2 and had a chance at a national championship but Alabama defeated the Razorbacks 24–9 in the Sugar Bowl.[1]
Houston Nutt (1998-2007)
On December 10, 1997, Houston Nutt was hired by the University of Arkansas to succeed Danny Ford.
In his first year, the Arkansas Razorbacks were 9-3 and had a share of the SEC Western division title. The Razorbacks received their first-ever invitation to the Citrus Bowl where the Razorbacks lost to the University of Michigan Wolverines, ending the season ranked 16th. During this season, Nutt was selected as the Football News' National Coach of the Year.[6]
Nutt resigned on December 26, 2007, three days after the Razorbacks defeated the #1 LSU Tigers 50–48 in three overtimes.[6] Nutt compiled a record of 75–48 during his 10 years at Arkansas.[6]

Rivalries
Texas Longhorns
Though the Arkansas-Texas game are not regularly played since Arkansas's departure from the Southwest Conference in 1991, the Longhorns are still considered to be the Razorbacks' top rival. There are many contributions that led to the Razorbacks considering the Longhorns as their top rival, including the result of the 1969 Game of the Century (also known as "The Big Shootout") which eventually led to the Longhorns' national championship title. [7] The Longhorns lead the series 55–21–0. [8]
Games played | First meeting | Last meeting | ARK win | ARK loss | Ties | Win % |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
76 | November 29, 1894 (lost 0–54) | November 11, 2004 (lost 20–22) | 21 | 55 | 0 | 27.6% |
LSU Tigers
Since joining the Southeastern Conference in 1992, the Razorbacks have developed an intense rivalry with the LSU Tigers. The game is played annually the day after Thanksgiving and is televised on CBS. The winner of the game has taken home the "Golden Boot", which is a 24-karet gold trophy in the shape of the two states, since its creation in 1996. [9]
Recently, the series has come to represent an important game in the SEC Western Division, with either Arkansas or LSU representing the Western Division in the SEC Championship Game on several occasions. In 2002, the rivalry gained momentum as the game winner would represent the Western Division of the SEC in the SEC Championship Game. The game (called "Miracle on Markham") was won by Arkansas on a last second touchdown pass by Matt Jones. [10] In 2006, the Tigers snapped the SEC West champion Razorbacks' 10-game winning streak when they were beaten by LSU in Little Rock, 26–30. [11] In 2007, Arkansas stunned top-ranked LSU in triple overtime, 50–48, giving them their first win in Baton Rouge since 1993, and their first victory over a top-ranked team since beating Texas in 1982. [12] LSU currently leads the series 33–18–2. [8]

Texas A&M Aggies
The Razorbacks first played the Texas A&M Aggies in 1903. From 1934–1991, the two had played annually as Southwest Conference members. The series, however, ceased in 1991, when Arkansas left the SWC to join the Southeastern Conference. Arkansas leads all-time 38–24–3.[8] On March 10, 2008, officials from both schools announced the revival of the series, which will commence on October 3, 2009. The game will be played at the Dallas Cowboys New Stadium, which is expected to hold about 80,000 fans. The initial agreement between the two schools allows the game to be played for at least 10 years, followed by 5 consecutive, 4-year rollover options, allowing the game to be played for a total of 30 consecutive seasons.[13][14][15]

Ole Miss Rebels
The Razorbacks first played the Ole Miss Rebels in 1908. Arkansas and Mississippi played many times sporadically in the following years. In addition to several single years of playing each other, the two teams played each other from 1940-47 and 1952-62 on an annual basis. The Razorbacks and Rebels also met twice in the Sugar Bowl played in New Orleans, in 1963 and 1970. Since 1981, the two teams have played each other annually in football. (since 1992 as conference and Division rivals) In 2001, Arkansas and Ole Miss had an NCAA record seven-overtime game in Oxford, MS; The amount of overtimes has since been tied, but has not yet been beaten. (Arkansas ended up winning with a final score of 58-56) The recent Houston Nutt controversies and departure to Ole Miss has added to and heightened the long standing rivalry between the schools. Ole Miss is the also the closest SEC school to Arkansas in terms of distance.

All-Americans
Every year, players are selected by several publications to be placed on their All-American team for that season. The NCAA officially recognizes five All-American lists which includes the Associated Press (AP), American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), Sporting News (TSN), and the Walter Camp Football Foundation (WCFF). A consensus All-American is determined using a point system; three points if the player was selected for the first team, two points for the second team, and one point for the third team. Arkansas has had 45 All-Americans (20 consensus) in its history. [23][24][25]
