A 3-0 start has unceremoniously faded into a 3-3 record at the halfway point of the season for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Their opportunity to move back over .500 comes Saturday in Provo, Utah, against the BYU Cougars, whom they have never played before.
The Cougars and the Hogs feature some similarities this week. Both squads are being mindful of quarterback injuries as they desperately try to regain Top-25 status.
Arkansas' KJ Jefferson is expected to start after missing last week's contest with a head injury, and BYU's Jaren Hall is coming off a week in which he played but did not practice due to an injury, which he later disputed.
As the Razorbacks try to get back in the win column, the Cougars will do the same following their 28-20 defeat against Notre Dame last week in Las Vegas. The Irish joined the Oregon Ducks as the only teams to beat BYU this season.
