Preseason

Bret Bielema was hired as Arkansas's head football coach on December 4, leaving the same position with the Wisconsin Badgers. The move surprised many, including Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez.[1] It was announced Wisconsin defensive coordinator Chris Ash would take the same position at Arkansas on December 11.
