MEMPHIS — After both Arkansas and Texas Tech had heavy traffic in the transfer portal, attention swings back to this season for their matchup in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.
The Razorbacks (6-6) will face Red Raiders (8-4) in Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium in Memphis. The game kicks off at 6 p.m.
Texas Tech, representing the Big 12, has pulled in the No. 1 transfer portal class so far, according to 247Sports. The Razorbacks pulled in the No. 12 class but also lost some contributors to SEC rivals.
The Liberty Bowl is shaping up to be a glimpse at the future for both teams. The game gives Arkansas coach Sam Pittman a chance to preview his offense without wide receiver Andrew Armstrong, who 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) this year.
Texas Tech starting quarterback Behren Morton is out after he underwent shoulder surgery. Freshman Will Hammond will start. He is a dual-threat quarterback who was a four-star recruit.

Arkansas vs. Texas Tech prediction
Arkansas 24, Texas Tech 20: Red Raiders starter Will Hammond has limited experience in his freshman season. He has completed 15 of 23 passes this and has 12 rushing attempts. Arkansas has its own offensive concerns, including playing without receiver Andrew Armstrong and starting tight end Luke Hasz, so anticipate a low-scoring game even though both teams’ defenses have been gashed at times this year.
