FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ game against Texas A&M will have a morning kickoff for the second straight year.
The annual Southwest Classic between the Razorbacks and Aggies will kick off at 11 a.m. and will be televised by ESPN. The teams played in the network's same time slot last year.
Arkansas and Texas A&M both are 2-1 entering this weekend’s games. The Razorbacks will host San Jose State on Saturday, while the No. 17 Aggies will host No. 8 Auburn.
This year’s Southwest Classic has some added intrigue. Arkansas starting quarterback Nick Starkel was Texas A&M’s starter two years ago and lost a position battle to Aggies starter Kellen Mond following a change in head coaches last season.
