The Southwest Classic has not been kind to the Arkansas Razorbacks since its’ inception in 2009.
Arkansas still holds an eight-game advantage in the overall series record, but have only won four times since 2009. That stretch includes a nine-game losing streak from 2012 to 2020.
Over the years, Arkansas has found countless ways to lose this game to the Aggies. It just seems like something always happens in this rivalry game that keeps the Hogs from winning the close ones. Last year, it was a [autotag]KJ Jefferson[/autotag] fumble and ensuing 99-yard scoop-and-score combined with [autotag]Cam Little[/autotag]’s missed field goal at the end of the game that to Arkansas’ getting beat.
This year’s matchup should be pretty even and there’s more added flavor than there has been in years past. [autotag]Bobby Petrino[/autotag] will be on the sidelines – or in the press box – calling shots for the Texas A&M on Saturday.
So, will Arkansas be able to upset the Aggies and turn the season around or will Petrino finally get his revenge on the Razorbacks? Let’s look at three reasons why both outcomes can happen.
