Tulsa will face Arkansas on Saturday, September 26, with the game set to kick off at 7 p.m. Central Time at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville. The matchup between the undefeated Golden Hurricane and the Arkansas Razorbacks will be broadcast live on ESPN via SEC Network+.
Tulsa arrives with a 3-0 record, having started the season with wins over Oklahoma State, Sam Houston State, and East Texas A&M. The Golden Hurricane will start Dexter Williams II at quarterback, as Baylor Hayes remains sidelined with a knee injury.
