Arkansas looking to get 43rd win in rivalry series with Texas A&M
Saturday will be the 79th meeting between Texas A&M and Arkansas.
Their meetings date back to Halloween 1903 with Texas A&M winning, 6-0. Then, the two schools were staples in the classic Southwest Conference until Arkansas exited in 1992. Combined, the two captured 31 SWC titles.
Arkansas’s most dominant era during the rivalry came during the 60s. From 1958-1970, the Razorbacks outscored the Aggies 301-108. It’s no surprise, really. Frank Broyles had the Hogs a national powerhouse during that era.
The rivalry took a hit during the1990s when Arkansas left for the SEC, but it was revived in 2009 when both teams agreed to play in Arlington, Texas. Arkansas took the first game, 47-19, Ryan Mallett leading the way with four passing touchdowns. The Razorbacks would go on to win the next three straight games until 2012, when the rivalry returned to College Station.
Since 2012, the Razorbacks have only one win, which came last year. The 20-10 win ended the Aggies’ nine-game win streak against the Razorbacks.
A win this year? Arkansas is in the picture.
