FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas will face an old foe in a familiar setting in Texas to end its three-year postseason drought.
The Razorbacks (3-7) will take on former Southwest Conference rival TCU (6-4) in the Texas Bowl at NRG Stadium in Houston on Dec. 31.
Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman, the first head Hog to lead the program to a bowl game in his first season since Houston Nutt guided the 1998 team to the Citrus Bowl, said the experience in Houston will bring great value.
“You take the Hog brand down there, and I think Arkansas is well received in Houston and for that matter in the state of Texas,” Pittman said.
