The Arkansas Razorbacks have tentatively completed their 2015 non-conference football schedule.

Arkansas had three games previously announced, and now a fourth is listed on the official website of the UT Martin Skyhawks.

UTM will visit Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville on Halloween, October 31, 2015. The game will be the first ever between the two schools on the gridiron.

Arkansas is scheduled to open the 2015 season at home on September 5 against the UTEP Miners. Per a copy of the contract we obtained in April, Arkansas will pay UTEP a $900,000 guarantee for the game.

The Razorbacks and Miners have met twice on the gridiron. Arkansas leads the series 2-0 after winning 39-7 in 1989 and 58-21 in 2010.

A week after hosting UTEP, Arkansas welcomes the Toledo Rockets to Fayetteville. The game, which was officially announced in January, will be the first ever meeting between the two.

Arkansas’ third consecutive non-conference game is slated for Sept. 19 in Fayetteville against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The game is the second of a home-and-home series that kicks off on Sept. 13 this season in Lubbock.

In Bret Bielema’s first season at the helm, Arkansas finished 3-9 overall and 0-8 in the SEC. The Razorbacks open the 2014 season on Saturday, Aug. 30 at the SEC Champion Auburn Tigers. The game is set for 4pm ET on the new SEC Network.
