Template:1989 Southwest Conference football standings The 1989 Arkansas Razorbacks football team represented the University of Arkansas as a member of the Southwest Conference (SWC) during the 1989 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by Ken Hatfield in his sixth and final season as head coach, the Razorbacks compiled an overall record of 10–2 with a mark of 7–1 in conference play, winning the SWC title for the second consecutive year. Arkansas was invited to the Cotton Bowl Classic, where the Razorbacks lost to Tennessee. The team played their home games at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas and War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Arkansas' victory over Texas A&M at Kyle Field in College Station broke the Aggies' win streak of 22 consecutive SWC victories at home.

Offensive tackle Jim Mabry was a consensus All-American for the Hogs. Kicker Todd Wright was named to the Freshman All-American Team after converting 20 of 23 field goals on the year, including a 51-yard field goal against UTEP. His average of 1.82 per game tied as best in the SWC, and was surpassed only by future NFL kicker Chris Gardocki from Clemson. As a team, the Razorbacks were the seventh-best rushing offense in college football, with an average of 314.2 yards per game on the ground.

Ken Hatfield led Arkansas to back-to-back SWC titles in 1988 and 1989, coaching the Razorbacks to an overall record of 20–4 and 14-1 against conference opponents over those two seasons. However, due to a sour relationship with athletic director Frank Broyles, Hatfield left Arkansas to become the head football coach of Clemson University after the season. Hatfield accepted the Clemson job without ever visiting the campus prior to his hiring.
