 Arkansas coach Bret Bielema will be a guest analyst Saturday for the CBS coverage of the Alabama-Ole Miss game.

Bielema said he was reluctant at first when CBS officials reached out to him about coming to their New York studio during the Razorbacks' off-week. He said he decided to accept the invitation when he realized how much exposure the appearance will give Arkansas' program.

Bielema's analysis could be particularly interesting given the Razorbacks host Alabama the next week. He said he will appear on the pregame and halftime show on the network.

Arkansas is 3-2 overall and 0-2 in SEC games entering its first of two off weeks. Bielema said he has recruited in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi the last two days, and will make a recruiting visit to Utah this weekend.
