To avoid the rush, go ahead and mark your calendars now and plan accordingly.
In a press release, Arkansas announced that they have reached an agreement on a 2017 game against New Mexico State. The game will, of course, be played in Fayetteville and is set to kick off Sept. 30, although an exact kickoff time and television network have yet to be announced.
The Razorbacks and Aggies have met five times previously, with the Hogs winning all five by a combined score of 251-67. The “closest” game came in 2003, a 48-20 UA victory.
The last meeting came in 2004, the first in 1977. All five of the games have been played in either Fayetteville or Little Rock.
Previously, UA had announced two non-conference games for the 2017 season -- home matchups with FCS Coastal Carolina (Nov. 4) and TCU (to be determined). The latter is the second half of a home-and-home series, while UA will begin a home-and-home with Michigan the following year.
