Of historical significance
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Once upon a time, the Arkansas Razorbacks did battle with South Carolina in football every year.
They entered the SEC in 1992 as dual newcomers and were matched as permanent crossover opponents.
That setup lasted 22 consecutive years, until another expansion led to the Razorbacks hooking up with Missouri in the Battle Line Rivalry and the Gamecocks pairing with Texas A&M and vying for the James Bonham Trophy.
The Razorbacks and Gamecocks will meet today for the first time since their once-permanent series was discontinued after the 2013 season.
