Arkansas football will play afternoon game at No. 15 Tennessee

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ first football game under interim head coach Bobby Petrino will be televised by SEC Network.

The Razorbacks’ Oct. 11 game at 15th-ranked Tennessee will kick off at 3:15 p.m. Central, the SEC announced Monday. Both teams are off this weekend.

Petrino was promoted to interim head coach when Arkansas (2-3, 0-1 SEC) fired Sam Pittman following a 56-13 loss to No. 21 Notre Dame on Saturday. Petrino was in his second season as the Razorbacks’ offensive coordinator and will retain play-calling duties.

It will be Arkansas’ first game with Petrino as head coach since Jan.
