The Razorbacks returned 14 starters from a 1991 team that went to a bowl game and was considered "legitimate contenders for the SEC title." Arkansas had not lost a home opener on campus since 1906, going 42–0–3 since a loss to the 1906 Chilocco Indians Chilocco Indians, while The Citadel had lost 19 of 20 road openers, the lone win against Navy in 1989.

Late in the third quarter, the Bulldogs drove to the Arkansas 25–yard line before QB Jack Douglas fumbled a pitch to Eric Little, which the Razorbacks recovered on their 24–yard line. They drove to The Citadel 8–yard line, where they faced fourth down and one yard to go. As fans booed, the Razorbacks sent out their field goal unit for a 25–yard kick by Todd Wright to take a 3–0 lead early in the 4th quarter. The Citadel was unable to move past midfield on their ensuing possession and were forced to punt. On a second and four play from the Razorbacks 31, RB E. D. Jackson took a handoff up the middle where he was met by Bulldogs DE Garrett Sizer, knocking the ball loose. Citadel DE Judson Boehmer recovered the fumble behind the line of scrimmage, and taking advantage of a rule change for 1992 returned it for a touchdown. The Razorbacks took over after the kickoff on their 31, and on the third play QB Jason Allen threw a pass that was intercepted by Bulldog CB Detric Cummings. Douglas led the Bulldogs to the 8–yard line, and Jeff Trinh connected on a 25–yard field goal with 3:28 remaining to take a 10–3 lead. Arkansas threatened on their next possession, but were unable to convert from The Citadel 27–yard line, and the Bulldogs ran the final 1:21 off the clock to seal the win. This was the Bulldogs fifth win over a Division I-A team in their previous six tries.https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=RXC-vbXDMdwC&dat=19920906&printsec=frontpage&hl=en September 6, 1992 Bob Lang Post and Courier Charleston, South Carolina February 9, 2013 Taafe: Bigger than USC win (Citadel Notes) 8-Dhttps://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=RXC-vbXDMdwC&dat=19920906&printsec=frontpage&hl=en September 6, 1992 Bob Lang Post and Courier Charleston, South Carolina February 9, 2013 'Breathtaking' Boehmer Bulldogs' unlikely hero 8-Dhttps://news.google.com/newspapers?id=pFRSAAAAIBAJ&sjid=wDYNAAAAIBAJ&pg=1833%2C1777745 September 6, 1992 Bob Lang Post and Courier Charleston, South Carolina February 9, 2013 Bulldogs Pig Out 1-D As a team, the Bulldogs gained 218 yards on the ground and 276 yards overall.

The previous season, the Terriers had upset The Citadel at Johnson Hagood Stadium, with freshman kicker Chad Davis missing three field goals. The story surrounding Davis provided key information for Rick Reilly's article on the Fourth-Class System that was published in the week leading up to the 1992 Wofford game. The key storyline for the week included these distractions and the emotional high of the win over Arkansas, arguably the Bulldogs biggest win as a program. The Terriers were coming off a disappointing 41–27 loss at NAIA power Elon.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=q1RSAAAAIBAJ&sjid=wDYNAAAAIBAJ&pg=3373%2C4178477 Bulldogs hammer Terriers Post and Courier Charleston, South Carolina September 13, 1992 February 9, 2013 Bob Lang 1-D, 10-D Both teams were scoreless in the first quarter, and The Citadel took over at their own 27 yard line after a Wofford punt early in the second quarter. Driving 73 yards on 13 plays, Sands scored on a 2–yard run to put the Bulldogs up 7–0. Wofford responded with their own 73–yard drive later in the quarter to tie the game. The Bulldogs took over on the ensuing kickoff at their own 40 yard line and went 60 yards for a Cedric Sims touchdown and a lead they would not relinquish. Jeff Trinh added a 36–yard field goal as the half expired for a 17–7 lead. Early in the third quarter, Jack Douglas was intercepted by CB Chad Starks, giving Wofford momentum. Five plays later, CB Torrance Forney recorded his second interception of Wofford QB Shawn Graves, this time near the end zone. The Citadel then 98 yards on 17 plays in nearly 8 minutes to take a commanding 23–7 lead. The Bulldogs would recover a fumble in their own territory on the next possession, and drive 72 yards on 7 plays for a fourth touchdown later in the fourth quarter. Wofford scored the final points of the game after a four play, 72-yard drive late in the fourth quarter. Sands rushed for 117 yards on 25 carries while Douglas carried 16 times for 95 yards and threw for 92 more en route to the 30–13 win. Wofford senior QB Shawn Graves rushed for 149 yards and a touchdown, causing Taaffe to remark, "I'm glad we don't have to play him again." The Citadel defense shut down the Terriers in the air, with Graves completing just one of ten passes for 12 yards and three interceptions. The Bulldogs gained 441 yards to just 288 for Wofford. Taaffe was particularly pleased with the performance in light of all the distractions of the week. Citadel fans were particularly excited about score updates from the Arkansas game at South Carolina, in which the Razorbacks routed the Gamecocks 45–7.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=q1RSAAAAIBAJ&sjid=wDYNAAAAIBAJ&pg=3373%2C4178477 Update fires up the fans Post and Courier Charleston, South Carolina September 13, 1992 February 9, 2013 Bob Lang and Forrest White 10-D East Tennessee State Buccaneers #7 Bulldogs September 19, 1992 Johnson Hagood Stadium, Charleston, South Carolina 7:00 P.M.
