UPDATE, 4:37 p.m.: Arkansas has accepted a bid to play Texas in the AdvoCare Texas Bowl on Dec. 29 at Houston’s NRG Stadium, the Razorbacks announced Sunday.

AUSTIN — Texas has accepted an invitation to play in the AdvoCare Texas Bowl against a Southeastern Conference opponent on Dec. 29 at Houston’s NRG Stadium, the bowl announced Sunday.

UT’s most likely opponent is either LSU or Arkansas. The SEC is responsible for assigning its teams to bowls.

The Longhorns (6-6), who won three of their last four games to become eligible for the postseason, will be making their first appearance in the Texas Bowl. They finished each of their past two seasons at the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio.

Either the Tigers (8-4) or Razorbacks (6-6) would present UT with a significant test in its quest to become a tough, physical team under first-year coach Charlie Strong. The Longhorns’ last bowl game against an SEC opponent came at the end of the 2009 season, when they fell to Alabama in the national title game.
