Arkansas breaks out fresh-looking helmets for Southwest Classic against Texas A&M

Arkansas is in Arlington on Saturday for the Southwest Classic as it renews its rivalry with Texas A&M.

The Aggies have won 10 of the past 11 meetings between the 2 programs. Meanwhile, the Razorbacks have lost their past 2 games and are looking to correct course before the season unravels completely. They have fallen to BYU and LSU in consecutive weeks.

Prior to kickoff from AT&T Stadium, Arkansas revealed that it’d be wearing their all-white helmets with the Razorbacks logo in red, as you can see below:

Last year’s Southwest Classic went to Texas A&M by a 23-21 score. The Razorbacks allowed 159 yards to De’Von Achane, while quarterback Max Johnson threw for 151 yards and ran for 39 more. KJ Jefferson tossed a pair of touchdowns and went for 175 yards through the air while rushing for 105 yards and a 3rd score on the ground.

Achane’s gone, but Jefferson and Johnson meet again as opposing quarterbacks as the Razorbacks look to claim victory this year.
