Arkansas Razorbacks Vs Louisiana Tech Football Game

As the Arkansas Razorbacks prepare to host the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs today, the team seeks to close out its home schedule for the 2024 season with hopes of securing bowl eligibility. The game, set to take place at the Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium at 3 p.m. CST, marks the fifth meeting between the two programs, and the first since Arkansas’s narrow victory in 2016.

Boasting a 5-5 record for the season, Arkansas is eager to bounce back after a recent 20-10 defeat to Texas, a match where the team’s offense struggled, failing to score in the first half and suffering two critical turnovers. Arkansas’s head coach expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming game, recognizing the Bulldogs as a challenging opponent, «Our team is fairly healthy,» he commented. «Excited about the opportunity for senior afternoon on Saturday against Louisiana Tech, a team that is playing extremely well. They’re holding teams to low scores defensively and putting up some points.»

Louisiana Tech comes into the game with a 4-6 record. The Bulldogs are riding high after a significant 12-7 victory over Western Kentucky, where their defense was pivotal. Led by a freshman quarterback who has thrown for 1,518 yards and 12 touchdowns this season, alongside a standout senior wide receiver, the Bulldogs have outscored their opponents overall, despite their losing record.

The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN‘s subscription-based streaming service, ESPN+, as well as on the SEC Network+. Fans unable to attend the game in Fayetteville can also listen via numerous radio stations including Sirius XM and several local FM stations across Arkansas.

Arkansas, who recently suffered a setback against No. 3 ranked Texas and a prior loss to No. 9-ranked Alabama, hopes to end its string of defeats and use this game as an opportunity to secure its postseason ambitions. Coach Pittman emphasized the importance of performing well, saying, «There’s pressure every week you know to play good football.» He remains confident in the team’s capabilities, «I still believe we have a really good football team and if we play up to our standards we can play with anybody in the country.»
