It was mutually postponed, but Texas has pushed it back repeatedly to where it's now slated to be played in 2021.

Dodds said the opening came at the request of Arkansas, which was scheduled to host Texas in 2014. ESPN brokered the UCLA game, he said.

“We owe Arkansas a home game and they have not wanted to play it,” Dodds said, adding he didn’t mean that as a criticism. “Arkansas has wanted to move it back and we agreed [to 2021]."

The University of Arkansas' football game against the University of Texas scheduled for the 2014 season has been moved to the 2021 season it was announced on Thursday. The Razorbacks and Longhorns will now meet on Sept. 11, 2021 at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

"Beginning more than a year ago, we have had discussions with the University of Texas regarding re-scheduling the remaining football game in our current contract," Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long said. "Based on multiple factors, including scheduling changes within the Big 12 Conference and Southeastern Conference, the game was moved to the next available game date for both institutions. We look forward to finishing this two-game series in 2021."
