A lot has been made concerning the issue of the Arkansas soccer group’s nonconference schedule. Coach Sam Pittman has even broached the subject voluntarily.

The excellent news is that 2022 is the final yr Arkansas must run such a gauntlet.

The Razorbacks host Liberty on Saturday of their final nonconference recreation of the season. The Flames are, like Cincinnati and Brigham Younger earlier than, the third ranked group on Arkansas’ out-of-SEC slate. The opposite group the Hogs performed was Missouri State, coached by former head man Bobby Petrino.

Such a Prime-25 run shouldn’t be a problem most years going ahead. Arkansas has its fingers full sufficient throughout convention play. Profitable SEC video games can be sufficient to offer the Razorbacks an opportunity at a nationwide championship, so the necessity for a troublesome nonconference schedule is a little bit of overkill.

With that in thoughts, let’s check out who the Hogs can have in future years.
