AUSTIN -- The Texas Longhorns have a few notable injuries to keep tabs on headed into their home game against the Arkansas Razorbacks. According to the initial SEC availability report, Texas wide receiver Ryan Wingo is probable for the matchup while linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. is questionable.

Arkansas comes into Austin this weekend for a massive matchup, and the Petrino-Kwiatkowski chess match tops the matchups to watch.

Texas enters the weekend as a comfortable double-digit favorite, and most projections say the Longhorns will simply impose their will through superior talent. It's a safe prediction. It's also incomplete.

Bobby Petrino, the interim coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks, was also the head coach the last time they faced the Texas Longhorns in Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in 2008. He has emphasized the importance of the revived rivalry for his players.

For the first time since 2008, the Arkansas Razorbacks will travel to Austin to face off against the No. 17 Texas Longhorns. The renewal of a Southwest Conference rivalry features one program in despair and another coming off their worst loss since 2021.

The ESPN commentator broke down the important SEC matchup and told fans who he thinks will win earlier this week.

Taaffe has been a staple of the Longhorns' defense over the past few seasons and has proven himself to be potentially one of the team's top difference makers. Recently recovering from a hand injury, he made a welcome return for Texas while facing the Bulldogs.

At punter, Arkansas’ Devin Bale has a superior average (42.9 net yards per punt) to Texas’ Jack Bouwmeester (39.7) on just over half as many attempts. Bouwmeester has pinned opponents inside the 20-yard line 18 times to Bale’s 13.

Saturday's SEC matchup between the Texas A&M Aggies and Arkansas Razorbacks was delayed due to potentially severe weather.
