Mizzou-Arkansas football game set for Black Friday

For the fourth straight season, the Missouri-Arkansas football game will move to the Friday after Thanksgiving for a national TV audience on CBS. This year's game, set for Nov. 24, will kick off at 1:30 p.m. in Fayetteville, Ark.

Dubbed the Battle Line Rivalry Game when the series began in SEC play in 2014, the game serves as the regular-season finale for both teams. Mizzou is 2-1 against Arkansas since the schools began playing as cross-division SEC rivals, winning both times at home in 2014 and 2016. Arkansas beat the Tigers in Fayetteville in 2015, which was Gary Pinkel's final game as Missouri's coach.
