The Texas Longhorns are ready to play in an all-too-familiar Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
The last time the two teams met in 2021, the host Arkansas came out on top and Razorback fans stormed the field. But that was head coach Steve Sarkisian’s first season with the Longhorns, and three years later, Texas is ranked No. 3 nationally.
A stronger Texas team means a harder challenge for the hosts, but also higher stakes for both. The Longhorns are coming off a dominant win over Florida, while the Razorbacks were dominated by Ole Miss at home last week.
“I was joking with the team this morning; I don’t know what Darrell Royal did to Arkansas back in the day, but they absolutely hate our guts,” Sarkisian said. “I think we learned that the first time around when we went there.”
Arkansas upset Tennessee in Fayetteville earlier in the season, and will now be looking to do the same with Texas.
The Longhorns hope to silence the crowd and change the memories of 2021.
