That five-game gauntlet finally comes to an end on Nov. 9 as the Razorbacks host the Hilltoppers. The Hilltoppers were 3-9 last year and finished near the bottom of Conference USA.

While they will be much better this upcoming season as they welcome a new head coach, they won’t catch the Razorbacks sleeping here as Arkansas will be ready for a win after five straight losses.

Western Kentucky has former Arkansas quarterback Ty Storey competing for their starting position, but besides that the two schools do not have much in common as this is the first meeting between them.

The Hilltoppers will be much improved, but will still be a middle level C-USA team that Arkansas should be able to handle comfortably.

Final Score: WKU 13, Arkansas 38 (4-6, 0-6)
