For the 13th year in a row the Arkansas-LSU game will be held the Friday after Thanksgiving after the game was moved to accommodate a CBS Sports broadcast schedule, according to a release by Arkansas Sport Information.

The game known as the Battle for the Golden Boot will be held at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, according to the release.

Last year Arkansas beat LSU in triple overtime in Baton Rouge to finish their regular season schedule.

LSU went on to claim the SEC championship and the BCS National Championship in spite of the loss.

This game is the only Razorbacks game scheduled for television broadcast next season, but networks can wait until 12 days prior to the game to select a game for telecast, according to the release.

Arkansas also said that the Nov. 1 matchup with Tulsa in Fayetteville will be next season’s homecoming game.
