Texas at Arkansas head-to-head
Saturday’s matchup rekindles an old rivalry as Texas and Arkansas played each other for 60 straight seasons from 1932-1991. They haven’t met since the 2014 Texas Bowl, which Arkansas won 31-7. Texas leads the all-time series 56-22.
Arkansas covered its first six games of 2020 but finished just 1-3 ATS down the stretch. Texas’ cover against Rice last week was its third in a row dating back to last season.
