The Razorbacks compiled an overall record of 3–7–1, with a mark of 3–4–1 in conference play, and finished in fourth place in the SEC Western Division.
[1] Head coach Jack Crowe was fired after the first game, when Arkansas lost to I-AA The Citadel.
The season was highlighted with a victory over #4 Tennessee in an upset, thanks to a game-winning 41-yard field goal from Todd Wright with just two seconds left in the game.
Wright, who also secured two other 45+ yard field goals and a forced fumble, was named "player of the game" due to his efforts.
The victory effectively kept the Volunteers out of a three-way tie for 1st place in the SEC East at season's end, as Tennessee finished one-game behind Division co-champions Florida and Georgia in the SEC's first year of divisional play.
