The Southeastern Conference’s newest member won’t play its first official SEC game until the 2012 season.
But it’ll get an early preview this weekend.
Texas A&M (2-1) and Arkansas (3-1) will match up Saturday at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, for the third-annual Southwest Classic.
“We always enjoy the experience of playing in Cowboys Stadium,” said Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino. “Our team is excited about the opportunity, and we know we are playing a very, very good football team in Texas A&team.”
