College Football 2021: Top Games of Week 2
By Shelbie Warr
No. 15 Texas at Arkansas
This one makes the list as it is a sell-out in Fayetteville and is a matchup between future conference rivals as Texas is set to join the SEC in 2025.
This game will be a huge test for both teams. For Arkansas, it is the question of if it can hang with the big boys before the face-off against Texas A&M in Week 4, a current top 5 team.
For Texas, it is proof that they belong in the SEC — at least to them, because to most current SEC fans — beating Arkansas is not proof that you can hang with the rest of the SEC.
Both of these teams are starting new quarterbacks. For Arkansas, it is KJ Jefferson who wasn’t horrible in Week 1 but wasn’t all that great either. The Razorbacks squared off against Rice and were able to find a way to win, but it was touch and go there for a while.
On the other side, Texas really dominated the University of Louisiana from the get-go. Neither of these teams is all that great, so it doesn’t tell us much, but this upcoming game will tell us quite a bit about both.
