FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas has scheduled two future football games against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
The Razorbacks and Golden Lions are scheduled to play for the first time on Oct. 23, 2021, and again on Aug. 31, 2024. Both games will be played in Fayetteville.
Arkansas last played an in-state football opponent in 1944 when it defeated Arkansas-Monticello (then-Arkansas A&M) by a score of 44-0.
The Razorbacks ended a longstanding policy of not playing in-state opponents in all sports last year. A modified policy allows Arkansas to play other teams from within the University of Arkansas system.
UAPB is the only other school within the UA system to play NCAA Division I football.
