SEC Country: One hero of last Arkansas-TCU game laments death of the Southwest Conference

FORT WORTH, Texas — The last time Arkansas played a game inside Texas Christian University’s Amon G. Carter Stadium, the Razorbacks rallied from an early three-touchdown deficit and won, 22-21.

That was Oct. 5, 1991.

The next season, Arkansas officially became a member of the SEC.  Just a few years after that, the Southwest Conference — which for most of its existence consisted of Arkansas and eight Texas universities — was disbanded.

On Saturday evening, Arkansas and TCU meet again for the first time since that second-half Razorback rally, and in the same stadium.

E.D. Jackson plans to be in the house for the first Arkansas-TCU game since his fourth-quarter, game-winning touchdown run nearly 25 years ago. He’ll be there for nostalgic reasons, but not necessarily to reminisce about his game winner.
