Arkansas has its kickoff time for the trip to Texas.

The SEC said Monday that the Razorbacks will play in Austin at 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, Nov. 21.

The game is at Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium. It’ll air on ABC or ESPN.

At least it’s an afternoon game. Fans back home can watch and still get to bed at a decent hour.

The bad news is the opponent. The Hogs are 3-6 overall and 1-5 in SEC games, and they’ve dropped two in a row.

Texas sits at 7-2 and 4-2 in the league. The Longhorns are a top-10 team.

That’s four more wins than Arkansas has, with the game being played on their field.

Texas has beaten some good teams

The Longhorns have two losses. They also have some wins that stand out.

Ohio State came in at full strength, and Texas beat the Buckeyes. The Longhorns also won at Tennessee. They knocked off Ole Miss back when the Rebels were ranked in the top 10.

The losses came earlier in the season. Unranked Oklahoma and Florida beat them in back-to-back weeks.

Texas hasn’t lost since. That streak includes wins over two ranked teams.

Steve Sarkisian is in his sixth season with the Longhorns. He’s 54-22 there.

Arch Manning is the senior quarterback. He’s 168 of 254 passing this season for 2,024 yards. He’s thrown 18 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Texas plays one more tough game before Arkansas arrives. It visits No. 24 LSU and Lane Kiffin this Saturday in Baton Rouge.

Recent meetings have gone Texas’ way

The Nov. 21 game will be the 79th meeting between these programs. Texas leads the series 55-23.

These two have played three years in a row now. Texas won the last two.

Last season in Austin, the Longhorns pulled away for a 52-37 win.

Manning threw for 389 yards that day, his most in any game that season. He went 18 of 30 with four touchdown passes.

Since 2014, the teams have met four times and each side has won two. So the Hogs won the two meetings before Texas started its current run.

Winning in Austin has been the hard part. The Razorbacks haven’t done it since they beat Texas 38-28 on Sept. 13, 2003.

South Carolina is up next

Before any of that, Arkansas has a home game.

No. 20 South Carolina visits Fayetteville this Saturday. Kickoff is 6:45 p.m. CT on SEC Network.

The Gamecocks have won four straight SEC games. They were also in the College Football Playoff selection committee’s first rankings.

The Hogs need to snap their losing streak. Their three wins this season came against North Alabama, Tulsa and Vanderbilt.

They’re also trying to stay out of last place in the SEC. They finished there a year ago.

LSU closes the regular season in Fayetteville on Nov. 27 for the Battle for the Golden Boot.

The Tigers have won the last four in that series. Last year’s game went to LSU 23-22.
