Arkansas faces Utah in first road test of the season

Summary

Arkansas prepares for its first road game of the season this Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium against Utah. The Razorbacks enter the matchup following a 31-14 season-opening victory over North Alabama, a game that included eight penalties and three turnovers. Quarterback KJ Jackson recorded 267 passing yards and three touchdowns in that win, though the team struggled to establish a consistent running game, averaging only 3.0 yards per carry. In contrast, Utah enters the contest after a 66-14 win over Idaho where the offense totaled 633 yards. Arkansas must improve its red-zone efficiency and protect the football to remain competitive against the Utes. The upcoming game serves as the first road test for the team under head coach Ryan Silverfield.
