In Lou Holtz's fourth year as the Razorback's head coach, Arkansas ended the 1980 season unranked.

A bright spot for the Hogs in 1980 was senior punter Steve Cox. He led college football with an average of 46.5 yards per punt. He would go on to win Super Bowl XXII with the Washington Redskins. Cox completed one of only six field goals of 60+ yards in NFL history.
