Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek expressed concerns over the team's schedule ahead of their game against No. 2 Georgia on September 19, 2026. He criticized the short turnaround after facing Utah on September 12, a late kick-off that disrupted preparation and recovery. Yurachek labeled the situation a 'welfare issue' and sought alternative start times from the SEC and ESPN, but to no avail. Georgia, which has not played away yet this season, is preparing for its first true test after victories against Tennessee State and Western Kentucky. The Razorbacks are looking for a stronger performance after a loss to Utah.
