Arkansas: 2026 Week 12 recap

Arkansas after Week 10: Searching for momentum

Arkansas sits at 3-6, and last week's three-point loss to Auburn didn't help matters—GIE dropped the Razorbacks 3.2 rating points to −3.6, now ranked 88th. The offense remains a significant drag: a 19.7% red-zone touchdown rate and 43.4% third-down conversion rate suggest too many stalled drives when field position should matter most. Late-game execution (4.93 leverage rating) hasn't salvaged close contests. With zero probability of a playoff berth or conference title, Arkansas faces South Carolina at home this week—a must-win against another struggling SEC team if there's any hope of finishing stronger than expected wins (3.6) would indicate.
