Network TV is skipping the Oct. 25 Arkansas-Ole Miss game but Razorback fans unable to attend the 6 p. m. kickoff at Reynolds Razorback Stadium can see the clash of new Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino and old Arkansas coach Houston Nutt on pay-per-view TV.

Arkansas director of athletics Jeff Long on Monday announced both the 6 p. m. kickoff time and the pay per view telecast.

The Arkansas-Ole Miss game has been widely anticipated throughout Arkansas since Nutt became Ole Miss’ coach last November.

“ With the Ole Miss game already a sellout we wanted to give fans who do not have a ticket the opportunity to watch the Razorbacks play a key Southeastern Conference game, ” Long said through a UA sports information press release. “ The outstanding turnout for home games and the response we received from the two previous pay-per-view offerings made this an easy decision. ”
