Shortly after, Sports Illustrated published Arkansas Razorbacks’ official week‑3 depth chart that pits the two programs against each other, and Arkansas Razorbacks reported that coach Ryan Silverfield met the media following the Razorbacks’ loss to #20 Utah. The depth chart highlighted several Georgia starters slated to face Arkansas’s defensive line, underscoring the matchup’s stakes.

DawgNation later noted that Kirby Smart said he would not like the kickoff‑time dispute either, siding with Arkansas, and also said he brushed off Silverfield’s earlier verbal jab.
