# Arkansas–Texas football rivalry

The Arkansas–Texas football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Arkansas Razorbacks and Texas Longhorns.

## History

Texas and Arkansas first met in 1894 in a 54–0 victory by Texas. The two programs have met 79 times and have played many historically notable games, such as the 1964 game in Austin that led to Arkansas's 1964 national title, the 1969 Game of the Century in Fayetteville between #2 Arkansas and #1 Texas, which eventually led to Texas's 1969 national title, the 1981 game in Fayetteville that is the largest margin of victory for an unranked team over the top-ranked team in college football since World War II when Arkansas beat #1 Texas 42–11, and the first game of the 21st century, when Arkansas beat Texas 27–6 in the 2000 Cotton Bowl. Although they did not regularly play each other after Arkansas's move to the Southeastern Conference in 1991, which consequently sent Texas to the Big XII Conference in 1996, many Arkansas fans considered this an important rivalry even before Texas' later move to the SEC which brought the regular game back. Texas and Arkansas met in the 2014 Texas Bowl, which Arkansas won 31–7. The two teams renewed the rivalry on September 11, 2021, at Fayetteville with Arkansas winning the "welcome to the SEC" game 40–21. In Texas' actual SEC debut they beat the Hogs 20-10 at Razorback stadium on November 16, 2024.
Texas leads the series 57–23. The rivalry resumed on a permanent basis when Texas joined the Southeastern Conference in the 2024 season. The Longhorns visited Fayetteville in their first year as a member of the SEC.
