CBS finally announces Hogs-Missouri to be on Friday

FAYETTEVILLE — For the fourth year in a row Arkansas’ game against Missouri will be played on the Friday following Thanksgiving.

Kickoff for the game, marketed as the Battle Line Rivalry, will kick off Nov. 23 at 1:30 p.m. on CBS in Columbia, Missouri.

Brad Nessler, Gary Danielson and reporter Jamie Erdahl will have the call of the fifth installment of the Battle Line Rivalry.

That is the primary college football broadcasting team for CBS.

The Razorbacks began annually playing the Tigers in 2014 after Missouri joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012. The two schools have played only nine times with the first meeting coming in 1906.

Four game times are now set for the Razorbacks’ fall schedule with kickoff times set for the team’s first three games.

The Chad Morris era will begin against Eastern Illinois on September 1 inside a newly renovated Razorback Stadium at 3 p.m. on SEC Network.

The Hogs hit the road for the first time the following week with the team’s first-ever trip to Colorado State. The Rams and Hogs will kick at 6:30 p.m. on the CBS Sports Network.

Arkansas returns home to take on North Texas on September 15 at 3 p.m. on SEC Network-Alternate.
