FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Arkansas Razorbacks now have a time set for their Week 7 showdown with No. 11 Alabama.

Because of poor showings as of late and multiple high profile injuries, it seems the network is not expecting a quality game between the Hogs and Tide on Saturday, Oct. 14. For the past two years this game has occupied the prime SEC slot at 2:30 p.m. However, this year the game has been banished to the 11 a.m. slot.

Fortunately, not even Arkansas can drag the Crimson Tide all the way down to the SEC Network. The game will air from Bryant-Denny Stadium on ESPN and fuboTV. Alabama lead the all-time series, 25-8. However, that's a bit misleading. The Razorbacks haven't taken down the perennial SEC West contenders since 2006 when Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, Peyton Hillis and the Springdale Five took down undefeated Alabama in double-overtime in Razorback Stadium in Gus Malzahn's first year as an assistant coach in the college ranks with Houston Nutt.

This week, Arkansas continues its month-long road trip with No. 16 Ole Miss at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium where prognosticators have predicted the current three-game losing streak will extend to four. The Hogs got the better of the Rebels at home last year in the midst of the Lane Kiffin to Auburn drama, but with the Ole Miss coach more settled in his position and coming off a huge win over LSU, the Rebels are expected to defend home field. That game can be seen on the SEC Network and FuboTV Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
