SEASON-BY-SEASON RESULTS
HUGO BEZDEK
5 SEASONS | 1908-12 | 29-13-1
The first full-time, paid coach in Arkansas football history,
Hugo Bezdek guided the Cardinals to a 5-4 campaign in his
first season. In 1909 he led UA to what is widely regarded
as the program’s breakthrough season — a 7-0-0 campaign
during which Arkansas outscored its foes 186-18. Upon the team’s return from a win
over LSU in Memphis, Tenn., that season, Bezdek told students his team had played
“like a wild band of razorback hogs.” The students liked the nickname and officially
adopted it prior to the 1910 season.

E.T. PICKERING
2 SEASONS | 1913-14 | 11-7
After beginning his tenure 5-0 en route to a 7-2-0 debut season, E.T. Pickering’s second
and final season at the helm of the UA program is best known for a contest against
Ole Miss that is still disputed more than a century later. Arkansas claims a 1-0 forfeit
victory due to the Rebels’ use of an ineligible player; Ole Miss denies the allegation and
claims a 13-7 win on the field. The dispute led to the suspension of the series until 1924.

NORMAN PAINE
2 SEASONS | 1917-18 | 8-3-1
Only a loss at Texas in the season finale prevented Norman
Paine from an undefeated record in his first season, which
began with five consecutive wins. His 1917 win over LSU
was Arkansas’ only victory against the Tigers in six games
from 1915 to 1921. After playing the Sooners to a scoreless tie in 1917, Paine’s 1918
team suffered the worst defeat in school history — a 103-0 loss at Oklahoma.

J.B. CRAIG
1 SEASON | 1919 | 3-4
Although J.B. Craig’s only season included a lopsided 63-7
loss to Tulsa (then known as Henry Kendall), it concluded
with a 7-6 win over Oklahoma in the Razorbacks’ most
recent home meeting with the Sooners. The win avenged
the 103-0 loss in Norman, Okla., the year before.
