Arkansas will return to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium to play a true home football game for the first time in more than a month this weekend. The Razorbacks will host Mississippi State on Saturday.
This unusual quirk in the 2023 schedule, which included a neutral site game against Texas A&M at Dallas’s AT&T Stadium, has prevented Arkansas coaches from hosting recruits at games for the past month.

“Let’s face the facts,” Pittman said. “In order to keep your girlfriend, and you don’t see her for five weeks and she’s had the chance to see this guy, this guy, and this guy, she’s going to leave you, unless you’re whoever. Elvis Presley or whoever.”
