The Razorbacks' schedule for the 2023 season

The Razorbacks will open the 2023 season at home against the Missouri State Bears on September 2nd. They will then travel to Fort Worth to face the TCU Horned Frogs on September 9th.

The Razorbacks' first SEC game will be on September 16th at home against the Texas A&M Aggies. They will then travel to Tuscaloosa to face the Alabama Crimson Tide on September 23rd.

The Razorbacks will have a bye week on October 7th before returning to action on October 14th at home against the BYU Cougars. They will then travel to Baton Rouge to face the LSU Tigers on October 21st.

The Razorbacks will close out the regular season with a home game against the Mississippi State Bulldogs on November 25th.

Key players to watch on both sides of the ball

On offense, the Razorbacks will be led by quarterback KJ Jefferson. Jefferson is a dual-threat quarterback who can make plays with his arm and his legs.

Other key players on offense include running back Raheim Sanders, wide receiver Jadon Haselwood, and tight end Trey Knox.

On defense, the Razorbacks will be led by linebacker Drew Sanders. Sanders is a versatile linebacker who can play multiple positions.

Other key players on defense include defensive end Zach Williams, defensive tackle Isaiah Nichols, and cornerback Dwight McGlothern.

Predictions for the Razorbacks' record in 2023

The Razorbacks are predicted to finish with a 7-5 record in 2023. This would be an improvement over their 6-7 record in 2022.

The Razorbacks have a favorable schedule in 2023, with only four games against teams that finished in the top 25 in the final AP Poll last season.

If the Razorbacks can stay healthy and play to their potential, they have a chance to have a successful season in 2023.
