Texas will travel to Fayetteville Saturday to face the Arkansas Razorbacks and reignite what once was one of the fiercest rivalries in college football.

Since 1991, the Arkansas Razorbacks and Texas Longhorns have only played six times. The Hogs are 4-2 in the 21st Century. Before 1991, Arkansas and Texas played every year.

33-years ago, the two teams were fierce conference rivals in the Southwest Conference. Arkansas' 14 conference titles was third in the SWC behind Texas (27) and Texas A&M (17).

But tired of being in UT's shadow (like A&M in 2012) and in a conference they felt Texas 'ran,' the University of Arkansas left for the SEC. It was sad to lose a year in, year out rival, but the Longhorns had other rivals. Oklahoma and Texas A&M primarily.

For Arkansas, success in the SEC has been sparse. The Hogs have only been in the SEC title game three times in 32 seasons. They have lost all three, twice to Florida and once to Georgia.

But after all these years apart, Arkansas' biggest rival is STILL Texas. Sure the Razorbacks have formed a rivalry with LSU, but the Tigers will never be as hated in Arkansas as Texas

When Hogs coach Sam Pittman arrived in Fayetteville he was told Texas was the Razorbacks biggest rival, even though the teams rarely played. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said this week, "I don’t know what Darrell Royal did to Arkansas back in the day, but they absolutely hate our guts."

The two started playing in 1894 and played every couple of years until 1932. In that time, Texas 14-0. From '32 to '91, the two teams played ever year. Texas was 41-19 against the Hogs in that span, but there were several games with huge importance.

The two names most associated with the Rivalry are Frank Broyles and Darrell Royal. The two close friends matched wits for years until they announce together after the 1976 game that they were both retiring.

The border war was most significant in the 1960, when eight games featured at least one team ranked in the Top 10. Both teams won a national title in the 60's. Arkansas won its only title in 1964, propelled by a big win over Texas. The Longhorns won a title in 1969 after beating Arkansas on the last day of the season, in what is still called the 'Game of the Century.'

Now that the two teams are in the same conference again, the old heated rivalry will start again.

Here's a look at some of the biggest games in the series' history.

1964: No. 9 Arkansas 14, No. 1 Texas 13

Arkansas won its only football national championship in 1964. One of its most prominent victories that year came against Texas.

Texas was ranked No. 1 and were the defending national champ. Arkansas was ranked No. 8 going into the game in Austin. Future Hogs head coach Ken Hatfield had a punt return for a touchdown that gave Arkansas a lead.

Texas scored a late TD and attempted a two-point conversion to go for the win (college football games could end in a tie back then). The two-point attempt failed and the Razorbacks won the game and the national championship.

1969: Texas 15, Arkansas 14

By far the most famous meeting between these two rivals was in 1969, college football's 'Centennial year.' The game is still called 'The Game of the Century.' The Horns were the No. 1 team in the nation and Arkansas was No. 2. ABC executive Beano Cook had arranged for Texas and Arkansas to move the game to the final game of the regular season in the first weekend in December, instead of the usual October date. President Richard Nixon even flew in on Air Force One to attend the game.

In a steady, cold rain with icy fog hovering over the stadium, the Hogs went up 14-0, working the home fans into a frenzy. But legendary Texas QB James Street led the Longhorns comeback. Street scrambled for a TD on the first play of the fourth quarter. Darrell Royal had decided before the game to go for two after the Longhorns' first touchdown to avoid a tie, which Street converted.

Texas intercepted Arkansas quarterback Bill Montgomery on the Longhorns 7-yard line, preventing a back breaking Razorbacks' score. With 4:47 left, Royal gambled again and went for it on fourth-and-3 from their own 43-yard line. Royal called "Right 53 Veer Pass," still the most famous call in Texas football history. The play was a deep pass to the tight end, Texas only attempted 10 passes during the game. When the play was called, Street famously asked, "Are you sure that's the call you want?" Royal snapped back, "Damn right I'm sure!"

Randy Peschel made a difficult catch over his shoulder in double coverage, gaining 44 yards putting Texas on the Razorbacks' 13. The Horns would punch it in the endzone a few plays later and win the game.

In the locker room after the game, Nixon declared Texas National Champions and presented Royal with a commemorative plaque. Of course, UT still had to play its bowl game to officially win the title. Texas beat Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl 21-17 to secure the championship.

1981: Arkansas 41, No. 1 Texas 11

Texas was the No. 1 team in the nation when the Horns traveled to Fayetteville to face unranked Arkansas. The Hogs destroyed the Longhorns, beating them 41-11.

This is still the largest margin of victory for an unranked team over the the No. 1 team in college football history. The game was Texas' only loss of the 1981 season. UT finished No. 2 in the final AP Poll.

2000: No. 24 Arkansas 27, No. 14 Texas 6

Trivia Question: Who played in the first college football game of the 21st Century? Answer: Texas and Arkansas.

After eight years of not playing each other, Texas and Arkansas squared off in the 2000 Cotton Bowl Classic. This was indeed the first game of the 21st century.

Texas finished the regular season 9-3 and were Big 12 South champs, but lost the Big 12 Championship Game to No. 3 Nebraska 22–6.

The Hogs dominated Texas under coach Houston Nutt, winning the game 27-6. It was the Razorbacks first bowl game win in 15 years.

2021: Arkansas 40, No. 15 Texas 21

Welcome to the SEC!

The first SEC team Texas faced after announcing with Oklahoma in July 2021 that the two schools would join the conference was Arkansas. Even though the move wouldn't happen for a few years, the game took on added significance.

In his first year as Longhorns coach, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian took the Horns to Fayetteville and got whipped, 40-21. Arkansas ran for 333 yards and truly manhandled UT.

After the game, the Arkansas fans stormed the field and tore down the goal posts.
