Liberty Bowl live updates, highlights

MEMPHIS – After both Arkansas and Texas Tech experienced heavy traffic in the transfer portal, attention turns back to this season for their matchup in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

The Razorbacks (6-6) will face the Red Raiders (8-4) at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium in Memphis. The game starts at 6 p.m

According to 247Sports, Texas Tech, which represents the Big 12, has won the No. 1 transfer portal class so far. The Razorbacks dropped the No. 12 class, but also lost some contributors to SEC rivals.

The Liberty Bowl appears to be a glimpse into the future for both teams. The game will give Arkansas coach Sam Pittman a chance to preview his offense without wide receiver Andrew Armstrong, who has opted out of the game and is preparing for the NFL draft. He became the first Razorback to lead the SEC in catches (78) and receiving yards (1,140) that year.
