Led by second-year head coach Jack Crowe, the Razorbacks compiled an overall record of 6–6 with a mark of 5–3 in conference play, placing in a three-way tie for second in the SWC. Arkansas was invited to the Independence Bowl, where the Razorbacks lost to Georgia. The team played home games at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas and War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Arkansas. Punter Pete Raether finished third in the nation in punting average, with 43.6 yards per boot. Punt returner Michael James averaged 14.3 yards per return, seventh in the nation. A knee injury to starting quarterback Jason Allen in the second half of the Baylor hampered Arkansas' ability to move the football on offense. The Razorbacks lost four of their final five games. However, the Hogs enjoyed a 14-13 victory over Texas in Little Rock in the final meeting of the rivals as SWC opponents. This season ended Arkansas' tenure in the SWC, of which the school had been a member since 1915. The SWC's reputation had been badly tarnished over the previous decade as the conference had seen every football team except Arkansas, Baylor, and Rice, hit with sanctions or recruiting scandals in the 1980s, including SMU's "death penalty" in 1987. Arkansas joined the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in 1992 along with the University of South Carolina. The SWC was dissolved after the 1995–96 school year.
