Texas will welcome Arkansas for a 3:30 p.m. ET, 2:30 p.m. local-time start (3:30 p.m. ET), and the game has been awarded the prime afternoon ABC broadcasting slot as well.
Arch Manning & Co. will be desperate to bounce back after Georgia pulled away for a 35-10 win over UT last Saturday. The loss all-but-destroyed the Longhorns’ College Football Playoff hopes, although there is still a slim chance they can qualify if they win out and receive plenty of help.
Meanwhile, Arkansas is just looking to take any form of positive momentum it can into an offseason of change. The head-coaching search is ongoing in Fayetteville, and while Bobby Petrino has kept the team largely competitive since taking over on an interim basis, it is difficult to imagine the school hiring him on a full-time basis without a single win.
Texas currently holds a 57-23 all-time advantage in the series, although the Razorbacks have won five of the last eight meetings. Texas went into Fayetteville and took home a 20-10 victory last season.
