Utah dominates Arkansas in non-conference football game

Utah defeated Arkansas 29-3 in a home contest at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City on Saturday, September 12, 2026. After a close opening quarter that ended with a 7-3 score, the Utes surged ahead to establish a 26-point halftime lead. The Utah defense limited the Razorbacks to 61 rushing yards and prevented them from entering the red zone until the fourth quarter. Arkansas head coach Ryan Silverfield attributed his team's offensive struggles to issues with the offensive line and a lack of successful one-on-one matchups for his receivers. Backup quarterback AJ Hill provided the lone score for the visitors late in the game.
