Arkansas-Pine Bluff details

Arkansas-Pine Bluff were just 2-9 in 2023. An FCS member, the Golden Lions are in the Southwestern Athletic Conference. In 2012, the team won a Black college football national championship, which is awarded to the best team amongst HBCUs. They also won the SWAC title that season. Among the famous NFL alums from APB was Pittsburgh Steeler great L.C. Greenwood.

The Golden Lions scored just 15.2 points per game last season and averaged only 289 yards per game. No rusher topped 350 yards on the season and no passer reached 700 yards for the year through the air.

Arkansas details

Coach Sam Pittman enters his fifth sesason at Arkansas with a 23-25 overall record. Arkansas lost six of its top seven rushers from last season, one of whom was quarterback KJ Jefferson, who entered the transfer portal to the University of Central Florida and departed Arkansas as the school's all-time leading passer. Boise State transfer Taylen Green is expected to start at quarterback, while the top running back is Utah transfer Ja'Quinden Jackson.

Arkansas did show promise on defense last season, holding opponents to 27.9 points and 357 yards per game. Defensive end Landon Jackson is a particularly promising prospect, coming off a 2023 campaign when he had 44 tackles and 13.5 total tackles for loss.
