FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Arkansas Razorbacks are set to play an in-state school on the football field for the first time in more than 65 years when the Razorbacks host UAPB in 2021.
The two University of Arkansas system schools will meet in Fayetteville on Oct. 23, 2021 and again on Aug. 31, 2024. The games against the Golden Lions will represent the first games against an in-state school for the gridiron Hogs since 1944 when Arkansas defeated Arkansas-Monticello, then known as Arkansas A&M, 41-0 in Fayetteville in head coach Glen Rose’s first season.
The Razorbacks began playing University of Arkansas system schools in the fall when the baseball team traveled to Little Rock to take on the Trojans in a fall baseball game. The two teams followed up with a regular season game in early April at Baum Stadium with the Hogs also taking on UAPB in mid-April. The Razorbacks have also met the Golden Lions on the softball field and tennis courts this academic year.
Arkansas is set to open the second year under head coach Chad Morris and the 2019 season at home against Portland State on Aug. 31 inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
