Texas football<\/a> has no more room for error if it wants to keep its thin \u00a0College Football Playoff hopes alive.<\/p>\n

The No. 17 Longhorns (7-3, 4-2 SEC) renew a once-fierce rivalry with Arkansas Saturday at Royal-Memorial Stadium in Austin, and they\u2019ll try and bounce back from a 35-10 drubbing at Georgia last week. Arkansas (2-8, 0-6) may dwell at the bottom of the conference standings, but the Hogs have shown some fight<\/a> under interim head coach Bobby Petrino, who replaced the fired Sam Pittman in September; all six of their SEC losses have come by single digits, and they fell to\u00a0No. 3 Texas A&M<\/a>, No. 6 Ole Miss and No. 20 Tennessee by a combined 12 points.<\/p>\n

Can head coach and play caller Steve Sarkisian<\/a>, quarterback\u00a0Arch Manning<\/a>\u00a0and the Texas offense get untracked against one of the worst defenses in the SEC? And can a suddenly generous Longhorn defense<\/a> fend off the SEC\u2019s best rushing attack and dual-threat quarterback Taylen Green? \u00a0<\/p>\n

Read below for live scores and updates as the No. 17 Texas Longhorns take on the Arkansas Razorbacks in Austin.<\/p>\n

This section will be updated once the game begins.<\/p>\n

Texas junior linebacker Anthony Hill Jr.<\/a> has been ruled out against the Razorbacks. Hill reportedly suffered a hand injury during last week’s game at Georgia, and his status had been in question throughout this week. However, No. 17 Texas ruled him out before Saturday’s kickoff.<\/p>\n

Redshirt freshman Spencer Barnett will serve as the kickoff specialist for Texas against Arkansas, according to a source. Barnett, an Austin native who graduated from Westlake High School, kicked off earlier this season against Sam Houston. Mason Shipley has handled both place-kicking and kickoff duties since kickoff specialist Will Stone announced his intention to enter the transfer portal in mid October. Shipley, who is 15 of 19 on field-goal attempts this season, has six touchbacks on 37 kickoffs this season. Stone had eight on 20 attempts before leaving the program.<\/p>\n
