What to watch

This is an early-season, nonconference test for both teams as they open their campaigns. There’s no last-meeting data available on SBLive, so this will serve as a fresh measuring stick for coaches and fans. El Dorado’s schedule also includes a road trip to Bryant on Oct. 16 (SBLive preview: https://scorebooklive.com/arkansas/football/games/5400476-el-dorado-vs-bryant), so momentum here could matter down the stretch.
