W. Carolina-Arkansas game kickoff moved up to noon

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The 2023 football season will start a little earlier for the Arkansas Razorbacks with kickoff for the season opener vs. Western Carolina moving up to noon Saturday at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Ark.

The Razorbacks and Catamounts were originally scheduled to kick off the 2023 season at 3 p.m. Saturday inside War Memorial but with the weather forecast calling for temperatures in the mid 90s and high humidity on Saturday afternoon, but shifting the game time up will allow for safer conditions for the student-athletes on the field and fans in attendance.
