Arkansas football hosting UAB in Fayetteville
Following a heartbreaking 39-31 double-overtime loss on the road at top-25 ranked Oklahoma State, Arkansas returns inside the friendly confines of Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium to host UAB in the final non-conference tune-up before SEC play. Kickoff between the Hogs and Blazers is 3:15 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, on SEC Network.
Arkansas touts an all-time record of 106-22-2 (.823) in home openers in Fayetteville, including a 70-16 mark at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium since its opening in 1938. The Razorbacks have won their last three home openers in Fayetteville under head coach Sam Pittman and own a 19-5 record in DWRRS home openers since 2000.
QB Taylen Green made history through the air at Oklahoma State (Sept. 7), completing 26-of-45 (57.8%) passes for 416 yards — the fourth-highest single game total in Arkansas history — and a touchdown to become just the fifth Arkansas passer in program history to throw for 400-plus yards in a game. Through his first two games as the Razorbacks’ starting quarterback, Green, the Boise State transfer, has completed 42-of-68 passes (61.8%) for 645 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 149 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries (6.2 ypc).
RB Ja’Quinden Jackson logged his seventh career 100-yard rushing game and his second consecutive 100-yard rushing game as a Razorback, running wild for a career-high 149 yards and a career-high matching three touchdowns on 24 carries (6.2 ypc) on the road against Oklahoma State (Sept. 7). It marks Jackson’s fifth career multi-rushing touchdown performance, as he became the first Arkansas player with multiple rushing touchdowns in consecutive games since RB Alex Collins in 2015.
WR Andrew Armstrong turned in a career game on the road at Oklahoma State (Sept. 7), recording career bests 10 catches for 164 yards in his first game with QB Taylen Green after sitting out Arkansas’ season opener against UAPB due to injury. Armstrong has caught a pass in 29 consecutive games and registered multiple receptions in 24 straight games since his 2021 season Texas A&M-Commerce.
LB Xavian Sorey Jr. has emerged as the Hogs’ leading tackler through the first two games of the season, totaling a team-high 15 stops (eight solo) with a team-leading 3.0 tackles for loss, including 1.0 sacks. The Georgia transfer is one of four Arkansas defenders with a sack this season.

LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — A bee swarm attack in Texas sent three people, including a firefighter, to the hospital this week, while Arkansas medical experts said most bee stings are not dangerous but can become life-threatening in certain cases.
Authorities in San Antonio said the three victims were hospitalized after being swarmed and stung by aggressive bees. Officials have not released details on what triggered the attack or the species involved.
Doctors in Arkansas said the biggest risk from a bee sting is not the sting itself, but a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
“The concern when you have a bee sting is if you develop a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis,” said Dr. Garrett Lewis, chief medical officer at St. Vincent Infirmary.
Lewis said warning signs include throat swelling, difficulty breathing and feeling faint, which require immediate medical attention.
“If you’re experiencing any throat swelling or severe shortness of breath, you need to seek medical care immediately,” Lewis said.
He added that people who are stung multiple times may also be at risk even without a known allergy, because each sting introduces additional venom into the body.
In the event of a swarm, Lewis said the priority should be escaping the area as quickly as possible and removing any stingers once safe.
“Seek water, seek indoor,” Lewis said. “Once you’re away from the swarm, you want to make sure that you are removing any stingers that might still be in your skin.”
Lewis also said symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and widespread hives can indicate a serious reaction.
While the Texas incident resulted in hospitalizations, a recent swarm outside a Little Rock business ended without injuries after bees briefly gathered on a tree limb before being safely removed by a beekeeper.
Lewis said the best prevention is awareness of surroundings and understanding when medical care is needed after a sting.

We are proud to partner with the Corning Police Department in addressing these violations. We seized a substantial quantity of illegal products, including flower, vapes, edibles, and other items, during the operation. We appreciate the cooperation of local law enforcement and information received from the community that led to yesterday’s operation and stopped this blatant disregard of the law.”
