KSU is Liberty Bowl Bound to face Arkansas

As for mutual opponents, both Arkansas and Kansas State played and lost to Texas Tech this season.

Football players step onto the field for the last home game of the season between K-State and West Virginia on December 5, 2015 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

It is the second time Arkansas and Kansas State have been pitted against each other in the postseason, having also played four years ago in the Cotton Bowl. Arkansas will be making its record-setting 5th appearance in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

The 2016 AutoZone Liberty Bowl will feature the Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Kansas State Wildcats.

.

It marks the sixth-straight bowl appearance for Kansas State and the Wildcats' first appearance in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. One difference, however, is that Arkansas (7-5, 5-3 SEC) is coached by former K-State defensive coordinator Bret Bielema, who worked under Snyder for two seasons, including during the 2003 Big 12 title run. He will be just the 4th active head coach to be inducted in the Hall of Fame. He will become only the fourth active coach to be honored with Hall of Fame inclusion. Fortunately, Arkansas' coaches have a great track record of getting the team up to play no matter what's going on. We pride ourselves on being a very national game.

"We have a wonderful fan base, and so many people that save up their nickels and dimes throughout the course of the year, and the only vacation they take is the one after our (regular) season is over". It has been changed to reflect the number of bowl games between the programs.

Lack of Quality Wins: Prior to beating West Virginia on Saturday, Kansas State had not beaten a team from a power five conference that had a winning record. "We have been discussing Kansas State all year". "We very much look forward to hosting the Wildcats and their outstanding fans".
