FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas will host UTEP to open the 2015 football season, according to a report.
The teams are scheduled to play Sept. 5, 2015 at Razorback Stadium. FBSschedules.com first reported the news Thursday after filing an open records request at UTEP.
Arkansas will reportedly pay the Conference-USA school $900,000 for the game. The Razorbacks last played the Miners in 2010, winning 58-21 in Fayetteville.
UTEP is the third known nonconference opponent for Arkansas in 2015. The Razorbacks are scheduled to host Toledo on Sept. 12 that year and host Texas Tech on Sept. 19.
