Arkansas and BYU each seeking a 3-0 start in rematch of a game the Razorbacks won in a 2022 shootout
Arkansas will host fellow undefeated BYU on Saturday in Week 3. The Razorbacks won last year’s meeting on the road by 17 points, but both teams have significant changes to their rosters in 2023.
Reigning Big 12 champion Kansas State wraps up non-conference play with a chance to give the league another win in an SEC stadium. So does Big 12 newcomer BYU.
Kedon Slovis threw for 348 yards and four touchdowns and ran for another score to lead BYU to a 41-16 victory over Southern Utah.
A dismal debut on offense has BYU searching to unleash a more potent attack before the schedule toughens up starting with a visit to Arkansas next week.
A look at football players in the Big 12 Conference this spring who are poised to have standout seasons this fall, when the league will have 14 teams with the additions of BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF:
Houston coach Dana Holgorsen has been in the Big 12 before, and again is preparing a team for its debut season in the conference.
Quarterbacks Max Duggan and Tyson Bagent have turned the page on terrific seasons that ended badly with national championships in sight.
The son of one of the NFL’s most prolific running backs made quite a name for himself this bowl season.
Quarterback Kedon Slovis is transferring from Pittsburgh to BYU, he announced Saturday on social media.
