Look, Texas leads the all-time series with the pigs 56-22.


That stat is a little deceiving considering that Arkansas actually has a winning record versus Texas in recent history.

By recent history, I mean the last 28 years.

The series started 14-0 Texas. They were a hell of a team back during World War I.


Now.... not so much.

Texas has been a better program than us, no doubt. But a lot of people really don't realize that the reason the series hasn't been more competitive is because of the lopsided number of wins they got back when the Ivy League schools were still powers. The very first game of their initial 14-0 series lead came when Razorback football was fewer than ten years old.
