what are some of the best teams that yall have played in LR the past few decades?
One of my earliest memories of a good victory at WMS was when we played Southern Cal in 1974 and beat them 22-7. They were ranked #5 and we were #20 and no one really gave us a chance to win that season opener. USC had the All-American RB Anthony Davis (dude was on 2 NC football teams and 3 NC baseball teams) and they went on to win the Rose Bowl and finished first in the UPI poll that season.

That Southern Cal beat down at War Memorial was huge in 74. The next season Hogs finished the reg season in LR by stomping #2 A&M ...then the Hogs played (and got stomped) by UGA in the Cotton Bowl. Another big conference game was beating #2 Texas in LR during 79 season, Hogs were #10 and the win got us a trip to the Cotton Bowl where the #6 Hogs lost to big to Bama ( they won the MNC that season). It's hard to imagine that Arkansas used to play up to 4 games in LR back then. For a few years it would be 4 gms in LR and 3 on campus.
