Tulsa-Arkansas Football?
Posted at 11:34:24 AM by Chris Bahn

Tulsa will apparently appear on the Arkansas football schedule for 2008., according to a report from the Tulsa World.

Talk about an interesting matchup.

Former Arkansas offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn now calls plays for the Golden Hurricane. Malzahn left under tumultous circumstances and landed at Tulsa after just one year on the staff of former Razorbacks coach Houston Nutt.

Here's the World report:

Tulsa will play at Arkansas during the 2008 football season, sources said on Friday afternoon. The game is scheduled for Nov. 1 in Fayetteville.

The Golden Hurricane has completed its nonconference schedule for the upcoming year. Tulsa opens at North Texas on Sept. 6 before playing home games against New Mexico (Sept. 20) and Central Arkansas (Sept. 27) in the renovated Chapman Stadium.

Arkansas will replace Texas Tech on the TU football schedule. Army was supposed to return a home-and-home game to Tulsa, but Army canceled its return trip and paid Tulsa a buy-out fee to cancel the contract. TU officials didn't release the amount Army paid.

The TU-Arkansas game will reunite Gus Malzahn and the Razorbacks. Malzahn spent one season as the Hogs offensive coordinator before leaving to take the same position at TU in 2007. His Golden Hurricane offense led the nation in total offense.

Arkansas will be led by coach Bobby Petrino, who will be in his first season at the school after taking over for Houston Nutt.

It will be the 71st meeting between the schools, and the first since 2003. Arkansas leads the series 51-16-3.
