— Arkansas' game at Mississippi State on Saturday will be shown on ESPN.

The Southeastern Conference and its TV partners announced the game time of 11 a.m. last week, but held off on announcing a network until after games were played Nov. 10. The game also was considered for ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network and SEC Network Alternate.

ESPN announcers Adam Amin, Rod Gilmore and Quint Kessenich will call the game.

It is the third time this season Arkansas has been scheduled to play the 11 a.m. game on ESPN, which is immediately preceded by the popular pregame show College GameDay. The Razorbacks lost 24-17 to Texas A&M on Sept. 29 and 65-31 to No. 1 Alabama on Oct. 6 in its other two appearances in that window.

Mississippi State (6-4, 2-4 SEC) is coming off a 24-0 loss at Alabama on Saturday. The Bulldogs were ranked No. 16 last week by the College Football Playoff selection committee.
