UA-S. Carolina start pushed back for TV

— Arkansas' game against South Carolina on Nov. 3 at Reynolds Razorback Stadium has been moved to 7 p.m. Central so it can be nationally televised by ESPN or ESPN2, the SEC announced Friday.

A decision on which network will televise the game will be announced Sunday. The game originally was scheduled for a 1 p.m. kickoff.

The game wasn't selected originally as part of the conference's television package, but ESPN approached the SEC about picking up the game after television selections for that weekend were announced last Monday. The SEC office sought the approval of both universities before agreeing to the request.

It will be Arkansas' fourth national television appearance this season. ESPN televised Arkansas' games against Alabama and Auburn, and ESPN2 televised the Razorbacks' game against Kentucky.

Arkansas' game against LSU on Nov. 23 is scheduled to be shown on CBS.
