The 2024 AutoZone Liberty Bowl will pit a pair of former conference rivals against each other on Friday as the Arkansas Razorbacks face the Texas Tech Red Raiders. These two went head-to-head in the old Southwest Conference for 35 straight seasons, but this will be their first meeting since 2015. Arkansas (6-6) is searching for its second winning season since 2017, and the Razorbacks have won five of their last six bowl game appearances. Meanwhile, the Red Raiders (8-4) are aiming for their first nine-win season since 2009, and they’ve also been successful in recent bowls, winning three straight.
Both teams will be shorthanded for this game with Texas Tech missing starting quarterback Behren Morton (shoulder) and star receiver Josh Kelly (opt-out), among several others.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium in Memphis, Tenn.
