War Memorial Stadium The 1999 Arkansas Razorbacks football team represented the University of Arkansas as a member of the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference during the 1999 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by second-year head coach Houston Nutt, the Razorbacks compiled an overall record 8–4 with a mark of 4–4 in conference play, tying for third place in the SEC's Western Division. Arkansas was invited to the Cotton Bowl Classic, where the Razorbacks defeated Texas. The team played home games at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas and War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Senior quarterback Clint Stoerner became the school's all-time leading passer in most passing categories. Stoerner also redeemed himself versus Tennessee, after fumbling away the ball late in the game in Knoxville in 1998. That fumble led to a Tennessee touchdown that won the game, 28–24. This season, Stoerner threw the game-winning touchdown pass to Anthony Lucas late in the fourth quarter versus the Volunteers in Fayetteville, leading Arkansas to a victory by the same score, 28–24. Razorback fans tore down the goal posts after the win, and carried them to Dickson Street in downtown Fayetteville in celebration. It is considered one of the most memorable games in Razorback football history. Arkansas's win in the Cotton Bowl Classic over Texas on New Year's Day was the program's first bowl game victory since the 1985 Holiday Bowl, and the Razorbacks first Cotton Bowl win since the 1976 Cotton Bowl Classic. Freshman running back Cedric Cobbs was named the Cotton Bowl offensive MVP, and senior defensive lineman D .J. Cooper was named the game's defensive MVP.
