Arkansas and BYU announced Thursday a home-and-home for future seasons.
The Hogs will make the trip west first, appearing at LaVell Edwards Stadium on Oct. 15, 2022. BYU will make the return trip to Fayetteville the following year. The Arkansas release lists the date as Oct. 23, 2023, but this is very likely a typo, unless the teams are planning a revolutionary mid-season Monday game. Sept. 23, 2023 is a Saturday, however.
Arkansas and BYU have never met previously.
The BYU games are the only non-conference dates the Hogs have on their 2022, ’23 slates as of today. Arkansas visits Notre Dame in 2020 and hosts Texas in 2021.
BYU has games lined up with Utah, Baylor, Oregon, Wyoming, Liberty, Boise State, Utah State, East Carolina and Stanford lined up for 2022, and dates with Tennessee, Virginia, Houston, Boise State, UNLV, USC and Stanford on the schedule for 2023.
Arkansas previously announced a home-and-home for 2024, ’27 against Oklahoma State earlier this fall. Thursday’s announcement was not nearly as fun, however.
