ARKANSAS-LSU

LSU-Ark. game to remain on Friday in 2013

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - LSU and Arkansas will play on what has become its traditional Friday slot in 2013 as the two teams will square off in Tiger Stadium on Nov. 29.

The Southeastern Conference announced Wednesday the kickoff for the Tigers and the Razorbacks is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. and the game will be televised on CBS.

Since Arkansas joined the SEC in 1992, the Tigers and Razorbacks have played 21 times with 16 of those games coming on a Friday. The teams played the Friday after Thanksgiving for 13 straight years from 1996 to 2008 before moving to Saturday in 2009 and 2010.

The teams played on Friday for the past two years, which included LSU's 20-13 win over Arkansas in Fayetteville to cap the 2012 regular season.
