The 1992 Arkansas Razorbacks football team represented the University of Arkansas as a member of the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 1992 NCAA Division I-A football season. The Razorbacks compiled an overall record of 3–7–1, with a mark of 3–4–1 in conference play, and finished in fourth place in the SEC Western Division.[1] Head coach Jack Crowe was fired after the first game, when Arkansas lost to I-AA The Citadel.[2] Joe Kines was promoted from defensive coordinator to interim head coach until the end of the season, when Danny Ford was hired as head coach.[3] [4]
The Razorbacks won their first game in the SEC after they defeated South Carolina, 45–7, at Williams–Brice Stadium. The season was highlighted with a victory over #4 Tennessee in an upset, thanks to a game-winning 41-yard field goal from Todd Wright with just two seconds left in the game. Wright, who also secured two other 45+ yard field goals and a forced fumble, was named "player of the game" due to his efforts. The victory effectively kept the Volunteers out of a three-way tie for 1st place in the SEC East at season's end, as Tennessee finished one-game behind Division co-champions Florida and Georgia in the SEC's first year of divisional play. Arkansas ended their season with an upset against LSU 30–6.
