Arkansas rides backup QB to come-from-behind upset win over No. 4 Tennessee

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Backup quarterback Malachi Singleton scored on an 11-yard keeper with 1:17 remaining to lift Arkansas to a 19-14 upset of No. 4 Tennessee on Saturday night in Southeastern Conference play at Fayetteville, Ark.

Singleton replaced injured starter Taylen Green and capped a four-play, 59-yard drive with his scoring run. Braylen Russell had runs of 24 and 11 yards on the excursion.

Tennessee reached the Arkansas 20-yard line on its last-ditch drive, but after not finding an open receiver on a fourth-and-5, quarterback Nico Iamaleava scrambled and was knocked out of bounds a yard short of the first-down marker.

Iamaleava completed 16 of 28 passes for 156 yards for the Volunteers (4-1, 1-1 SEC), who led the nation in scoring at 54 points per game entering the contest.

Dylan Sampson rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries for the Volunteers.

Green completed 19 of 27 passes for 266 yards for Arkansas before exiting in the fourth quarter with a left knee injury. Singleton was 2-for-3 passing for 31 yards.

Russell rushed for 62 yards on eight carries and Ja’Quinden Jackson rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries for the Razorbacks (4-2, 2-1). Andrew Armstrong had nine receptions for 132 yards to notch his third 100-yard outing of the season.

Tennessee was scoreless in the first half despite its offensive prowess through its first four games before Sampson scored twice in the third quarter. First, he broke loose for a 53-yard scamper to the Arkansas 4 early in the quarter. On the ensuing play, he ran for the score to give the Volunteers a 7-3 lead with 12:33 left in the period.

The next time Tennessee had the ball, Sampson scored from 4 yards out as the Volunteers took an 11-point advantage with 8:19 left in the quarter.

The Razorbacks answered with Jackson’s 2-yard scoring run with 4:38 left in the quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Arkansas’ Matthew Shipley connected from 23 yards out to trim Tennessee’s edge to 14-13 with 12:08 remaining in the game.

Green was injured on that drive when he took a vicious low hit to his left knee by Tennessee’s Omarr Norman-Lott, who drew a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty.

Green came back into the game the next time Arkansas had the ball but was badly hindered while trying to roll away from defenders and he threw the ball away with 10:40 remaining. Green limped off the field and Singleton played the rest of the way.

Arkansas outgained the Volunteers 221-76 in the first half but could manage only a field goal. The Razorbacks began the game with a 16-play, 74-yard drive that took 9:12. The drive stalled and Kyle Ramsey booted a 20-yard field goal.

No. 4 Tennessee, rolling in all phases, takes aim at Arkansas

Posted on | by Field Level Media

A dominant Tennessee squad is averaging a national-best 54 points per game and allowing just seven per outing, the latter tied for second in the country.

The worse news for Arkansas is that the No. 4 Volunteers are well rested after a bye.

Tennessee will look to continue its strong start on Saturday night when it takes on the Razorbacks in Southeastern Conference play at Fayetteville, Ark.

The Volunteers (4-0, 1-0 SEC) posted a 25-15 road win over then-No. 15 Oklahoma on Sept. 21 before getting last week off.

“The bye week came at a good time, so I will just get my body feeling even better,” said Tennessee running back Dylan Sampson, who has rushed for 449 yards and ranks second nationally in rushing touchdowns (10) behind Boise State star Ashton Jeanty (13).

The Razorbacks (3-2, 1-1) have beaten the Volunteers three straight times, so they certainly have Tennessee’s attention.

The contest will be a good test for redshirt freshman quarterback Nico Iamaleava, who has passed for 892 yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions.

“The great thing about him at this point is his great competitive composure,” Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said of Iamaleava. “Goes and plays the next play independent and free. He’s handled himself well on the road. He and the offense have some areas that we can continue to grow in that area.

“That will be another big challenge with this football game as we head to Fayetteville and understand the type of environment we’re gonna get ready to go play in.”

The Volunteers rank third in the nation in total offense (565.8 yards per game) and lead the country by allowing just 176 per contest. They outscored their first three opponents 191-13 before knocking off Oklahoma, and they haven’t trailed at any point this season.

Arkansas is coming off a 21-17 loss to Texas A&M in a neutral-site game at Arlington, Texas, last weekend.

Standout running back Ja’Quinden Jackson has rushed for 509 yards and nine touchdowns, but he had just 37 yards on 10 carries against the Aggies. He has rushed for at least one touchdown in each game.

Razorbacks quarterback Taylen Green has been inconsistent while passing for 1,236 yards, five touchdowns and five interceptions. He has been sacked three times in four straight games, and coach Sam Pittman is concerned about Green’s decision-making when under siege.

“I think we’ve had so many pressures that we’ve got a lot of problems,” Pittman said. “We’ve got a confidence problem. We have a quarterback that’s not confident. There’s times when he can stand in the pocket when there is one there. There’s times when he stays in the pocket and he gets hit.”

Green’s high yardage output came when he passed for 416 yards in a 39-31 double-overtime road loss to then-No. 16 Oklahoma State on Sept. 7.

The defeat against Texas A&M began a tough stretch in which the Razorbacks are slated to play three straight ranked teams and five of six.

Pittman knows the Tennessee contest is pivotal for the direction of the team’s season.

“We’ve got a good football team,” Pittman said. “We’ve got to continue to work on how to win these games. I expect our team to be ready to play and our fans to be ready to support us and help us with crowd noise and all of that.”

The Razorbacks are averaging 35.8 points and 495 yards per game. The defense is allowing 20.2 points and 319.4 yards per contest.

No. 24 Texas A&M comes back vs. Arkansas to win final Southwest Classic in Arlington

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Marcel Reed accounted for three scores Saturday and remained perfect as starting quarterback for the No. 24 Texas A&M Aggies, who improved to 2-0 in Southeastern Conference play by topping the Arkansas Razorbacks 21-17 in the final Southwest Classic held in Arlington, Texas.

With top quarterback Conner Weigman (shoulder sprain) unavailable for a third straight game, the Aggies (4-1 overall) continued with backup Reed, who went 11-for-22 for 163 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for another score. He moved to 3-0 as a starter.

Le’Veon Moss carried 13 times for 102 yards, and Noah Thomas caught six passes for 109 yards and a score as the Aggies improved to 12-1 in the past 13 series meetings.

Taylen Green was 23 of 41 for 279 yards, with a touchdown and an interception for Arkansas (3-2, 1-1). The SEC’s leading rusher at 118 yards per game, Ja’Quinden Jackson had just 37 yards on 10 carries and scored. Isaac TeSlaa had five catches for 120 yards and a TD.

The matchup between the two teams, who first played in 1903, was the final one in the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. The series will continue on the Arkansas campus next year.

On the game’s third play from scrimmage, Green scrambled away from defenders and hit TeSlaa for a 75-yard score, but the Aggies evened it up when Reed found Thomas for a 58-yard catch-and-run score on their second series.

The first-quarter fireworks continued after Arkansas punter Devin Bale took off for 25 yards on a fake punt, keeping the drive alive for Jackson’s ninth TD and a 14-7 lead.

In the second quarter, Aggies defensive end Shemar Stewart disrupted a play in the backfield, forcing a fumble that was recovered by linebacker Scooby Williams at the Arkansas 10. Reed tied it two plays later on a five-yard keeper.

Kicker Kyle Ramsey, who had made just five of his nine field goal attempts coming into the game, gave the Razorbacks their third lead by drilling a 45-yarder to end a 10-play, 58-yard drive at 13:24 of the fourth.

However, the Aggies went 75 yards on the following series with Reed flipping a short pass to Trey Watson to make it 21-17 — their only lead — with nine minutes remaining.

Texas A&M sealed the game on Nic Scourton’s sack of Green and Jaydon Hill’s fumble recovery with 90 seconds left.

QB Taylen Green uses legs to help Arkansas get past Auburn

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Taylen Green struggled passing but rushed for 80 yards on 18 carries in leading Arkansas to a 24-14 victory over Auburn as the two teams opened Southeastern Conference play on Saturday afternoon in Auburn, Ala.

Green was only 12-of-27 passing for 151 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions before guiding the Razorbacks (3-1, 1-0 SEC) to a final clinching drive on the strength of his legs. He rushed for 27 yards on the Hogs’ final, 75-yard scoring drive capped by Ja’Quinden Jackson’ second 1-yard scoring plunge.

The Tigers (2-2, 0-1) turned the ball over on downs on their first series after the Razorbacks went up by their 10-point cushion with just 3:38 to play. Less than a minute remained when they got the ball back.

The Tigers were scoreless in the first half until Payton Thorne rallied them with two touchdown passes to Keandre Lambert-Smith in the second.

Thorne relieved struggling starter Hank Brown (7 of 13 for 72 yards with three picks) to start the third quarter. Thorne finished 13 of 22 for 213 yards with two scores and an interception.

Lambert-Smith finished with 156 yards on five receptions. His 54-yard catch set up his 10-yard scoring reception in the third quarter, and he had a 67-yard touchdown reception in the fourth.

The Razorbacks responded to Lambert-Smith’s first score with Green’s career-long 58-yard touchdown heave to Isaiah Sategna just over three minutes later to put them up 14-7 entering the final period.

Kyle Ramsey made it a two-score game at 17-7 with a 43-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter.

Arkansas nearly doubled Auburn’s time of possession in the first half by controlling the ball for 19 minutes and 26 seconds but went to the locker room up only 7-0.

The Hogs got the only score of the first half when Jackson’s plunge from less than a yard out capped a 15-play, 81-yard drive to open the second quarter.

The Tigers’ best chance of scoring in the first half was thwarted when Damari Alston fumbled at Arkansas’ 5-yard line at the end of a 36-yard run and Arkansas’ Stephen Dix Jr. recovered in the end zone for a touchback.

A wild flurry of interceptions — one thrown by Green, two by Brown — marked the final minute of the first half.

Down 14, Taylen Green and Arkansas rally past UAB

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Ja’Quinden Jackson ran for 147 yards and a touchdown as Arkansas overcame an early two-touchdown hole to upend UAB 37-27 on Saturday in Fayetteville, Ark.

Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green ran for 96 yards and two touchdowns and finished 11-for-26 passing for 161 yards. His main target was Andrew Armstrong, who had a game-high eight catches for 137 yards. The Razorbacks (2-1) ran for 266 yards and averaged seven yards per carry.

Both teams were coming off disappointing losses. UAB (1-2) was the sharper team in the first quarter, opening the game with a 15-play drive that ended with a 27-yard field goal by Jonah Delange and took 7:27 off the clock.

Green’s second pass of the game was intercepted and run back to the Razorbacks 15 by Michael Moore. The Blazers only needed two plays to score from there with Jacob Zeno (23 of 32, 235 yards, three TDs, one INT) making a tap pass to Kam Shanks, who raced 15 yards to make it 10-0.

UAB, a three-touchdown underdog, scored on the first play of the second quarter to make it 17-3. Zeno fired to Amare Thomas on a quick slant, who went 34-yards for the score.

But Arkansas dominated the rest of the half. Braylen Russell finished a 12-play, 75-yard drive by Arkansas with a 2-yard TD plunge to make it 17-10. Green scrambled 14 yards on the Razorbacks’ next possession to tie the score before the teams traded field goals to make it 20-20 at halftime.

Arkansas took the lead for good on the first drive of the second half with Jackson scoring on a 12-yard run up the middle. The run put him over 100 yards for the eighth time in his career as a Razorback.

UAB cut the lead to 30-27 with 6:55 to go when Zeno threw his third touchdown pass of the game, a 21-yard toss to Dallas Payne to cap a 12-play, 83-yard drive. Green answered with a 9-yard touchdown run around the left side with 3:36 left.

Arkansas entered the game with the nation’s No 2 ranked offense, averaging 667.5 yards a game. They finished with 427.

UAB wide receiver Brandon Buckhaulter was stretchered off the field late in the first half. He was hit up high after his helmet had been twisted off after catching a quick screen. Per UAB’s radio sideline reporter, Buckhaulter had movement in all of his extremities.

No. 16 Oklahoma State rallies for wild 2OT win over Arkansas

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Ollie Gordon scored on a 15-yard run in double overtime as No. 16 Oklahoma State rallied from a 14-point second-half deficit to earn a 39-31 overtime victory over visiting Arkansas on Saturday at Stillwater, Okla.

After both teams missed field goals on their opening overtime possessions, Gordon ran for a score and caught a 2-point conversion pass from Alan Bowman for an eight-point lead. The Cowboys sealed the victory when Arkansas’ Rodney Hill was stopped on a fourth-down run from the 7-yard line.

Bowman was 27-of-48 passing for 326 yards and a touchdown for Oklahoma State, while Brennan Pressley had nine catches for 91 yards, with a 3-yard TD run. The Cowboys won with 59 rushing yards.

Taylen Green was 26-of-45 passing for 416 yards and a touchdown for Arkansas, while Ja’Quinden Jackson had 24 carries for149 yards and three first half TDs. The Razorbacks lost despite gaining 648 total yards to 385 for the Cowboys.

Oklahoma State used an 18-point fourth quarter to rally from a 14-point deficit in the second half, getting a pair of touchdowns from Pressley in the final 9:37 of regulation.

Arkansas got a 43-yard touchdown reception from Luke Hasz with 4:01 remaining to tie the game at 28.

The teams traded field goals in the final minute as Oklahoma State got a 38-yard kick from Logan Ward with 55 seconds remaining to take a 31-28 lead, but could not run more time off the clock after a false start penalty on fourth down. Arkansas took advantage of the extra time and tied it on a 45-yard field goal from Kyle Ramsey as time expired in regulation.

Jackson scored for Arkansas on two 5-yard TD runs in the first quarter and an 11-yard score in the second quarter for a 21-7 lead.

Oklahoma State’s lone score in the first half came on a 73-yard interception return from Kale Smith in the second quarter. The Cowboys lost linebacker Collin Oliver on the play to a left leg injury after he made the hit on Green that forced an errant throw.

Former annual rivals, Arkansas and Oklahoma State met for the first time since 1980. The Razorbacks still have a 30-16-1 lead in the all-time series.

No. 16 Oklahoma State renews rivalry with Arkansas after 44 years

Posted on | by Field Level Media

After their series had gone dormant for 43 years, No. 16 Oklahoma State and visiting Arkansas will renew a regional rivalry when the teams meet Saturday in Stillwater, Okla.

Oklahoma State (1-0) finished off a 44-20 victory over South Dakota State last Saturday, ending the 29-game winning streak of their FCS foe, who had won consecutive championships. The victory moved them up one spot in the AP Top 25.

Arkansas (1-0) also took down an FCS opponent, crushing Arkansas-Pine Bluff 70-0 on Thursday.

Arkansas’ new-look offense, led by the return of former Razorbacks head coach Bobby Petrino as offensive coordinator, delivered 10 touchdowns on 10 possessions. New quarterback Taylen Green, a Boise State transfer, delivered four total touchdowns in one half of play.

Green was not only 16-of-23 passing for 229 yards and two TDs, but also rushed for 88 yards and two scores on just six carries. Of the Razorbacks’ 687 total yards, 279 came on the ground. JaQuinden Jackson, a Utah transfer, rushed for 101 yards on eight carries with two TDs.

“I felt like (footwork) was a little slow the first two drives, and that is what we focused on in camp and translated that into the game,” Green said, owning up to some nerves in his first start for the Razorbacks. “That is something I need to improve on and it all starts with my feet, and we have a great opportunity against Oklahoma State.”

Oklahoma State was more than pleased with its offensive output against a talented FCS team. Heisman Trophy candidate Ollie Gordon II rushed for 104 yards, with 58 of those coming in the third quarter. Gordon, the Doak Walker Award winner from last season as top running back in the country, ran for two TDs and also caught a touchdown.

Cowboys quarterback Alan Bowman was 25-of-34 passing for 267 yards and three touchdowns, while De’Zhaun Stribling had six receptions for 83 yards and Brennan Presley had seven receptions for 35 yards and one TD.

“I thought (the offensive line) played good because they didn’t give up any sacks,” Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy said. “Bowman did a better job in this game of sitting in the pocket and not running out for no reason at all. That’s what we have asked him to do and worked with him on that.”

Arkansas leads the all-time series 30-15-1, but only nine of those games were in Stillwater, where the programs have played to an even 4-4-1 record.

Since the start of 2020, the Cowboys are 24-3 at home, tied for second-most home victories in that time behind the 26 from Alabama.

Both head coaches had nothing but praise for the offensive leader on the other side, with Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman calling Gordon as talented as they come.

“If (the offensive line) gets him 3 yards, he’s going to get 6 or 7 or more,” Pittman said. “We’re going to have to get a lot of guys around the ball. We definitely understand how good he is.”

Gundy intends on dedicating one player as a spy that tracks Green at all times.

“When you are competing against a guy that has the ability to run, you have to take that into account in your structure of defense and style of play,” Gundy said. “… It’s just a matter of being disciplined and making sure somebody has responsibility for the quarterback.”

Arkansas manhandles UAPB with 10 TDs on 10 drives

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Taylen Green threw for two touchdowns and rushed for two scores Thursday night during a 49-point first half as Arkansas whipped Arkansas-Pine Bluff 70-0 in each team’s season opener in Little Rock.

Green, a transfer from Boise State, completed 16 of 23 passes for 229 yards while rushing for 88 yards on just six carries. He didn’t play in the second half as the Razorbacks flooded the field with fresh faces against the outmatched Golden Lions.

In fact, the game was such a mismatch that the teams opted at halftime to shorten the second half to two 10-minute quarters. However, that didn’t stop Arkansas’ backups from collecting three more touchdowns, giving them TDs on all 10 possessions.

Ja’Quinden Jackson ran for 101 yards and two touchdowns on just eight carries as the Razorbacks piled up 687 total yards — 279 on the ground. Fourteen different receivers caught passes for Arkansas, which averaged nearly 10 yards per snap and rolled up 34 first downs on 70 plays.

Mekhi Hagens completed 11 of 23 passes for 123 yards for UAPB, which managed only 130 yards and 10 first downs. Nine of the Golden Lions’ 11 drives ended in punts and the other two concluded as time expired in each half.

Jackson’s 8-yard scoring jaunt less than three minutes into the game initiated a 28-point first quarter blitz. Green added a 4-yard touchdown, followed by a 46-yard score from Jackson and Rodney Hill’s 4-yard touchdown at the 1:15 mark.

Green got his arm going in the second quarter, hitting Tyrone Broden and Ty Washington with 9- and 23-yard scoring strikes, respectively. Then Green ran 36 yards for a touchdown nine seconds before halftime.

Backup quarterback Malachi Singleton played most of the second half and led two scoring drives. Braylen Russell rushed for a 9-yard score at the 6:13 mark of the third quarter, followed by Singleton’s 4-yard touchdown with 8:14 remaining in the game.

Tyrell Reed Jr. capped the scoring with a 4-yard run with 36 seconds left.

Former Arkansas RB Isaiah Augustave transfers to Colorado

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Former Arkansas running back Isaiah Augustave, who rushed for a combined 181 yards in his last two games for the Razorbacks, announced on social media Thursday afternoon that he is transferring to Colorado.

The 6-foot-2, 208-pound Augustave played as a true freshman in 2023 for Arkansas, totaling 35 carries for 202 yards and one touchdown, and catching three passes for seven yards in 11 games.

He earned Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week honors for his Nov. 18 effort in a 44-20 victory over Florida International. Augustave rushed 14 times for 101 yards, a 7.2-yard average. The next week in the season finale, he rushed 15 times for 80 yards and his lone score.

Augustave, who will have three years of eligibility remaining, chose Colorado over offers from Florida State, Oklahoma State, Tennessee, Utah and other programs.

The Buffaloes’ running back room includes Ohio State transfer Dallan Hayden as well as Micah Welch, Charlie Offerdahl and Brandon Hood.

Colorado thought it had a commitment from transfer Rashad Amos, who changed his decision to Ole Miss on May 18. Amos played at South Carolina (2020-22) and Miami of Ohio, where he rushed for 1,075 yards and 13 TDs last season.

Augustave was a four-star prospect in the Class of 2023 out of Naples (Fla.) High School, where as a senior was rated a top-15 running back in the country and the No. 38 player in Florida by 247Sports.

Arkansas transfer QB KJ Jefferson commits to UCF

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Former Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson announced on social media Monday that he will transfer to UCF for his final season of eligibility.

Jefferson, 22, completed 64.2 percent of his passes for the Razorbacks in 12 starts last season, throwing for 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions. The Razorbacks finished 4-8.

Jefferson played just three games as a true freshman in 2019 and made two starts over eight games from 2019-20. As the full-time starting QB for the Razorbacks in 2021, he threw for 21 touchdowns and four interceptions then followed that in 2022 with 24 TDs and five interceptions.

All told, Jefferson has amassed 7,911 passing yards, 67 touchdowns and 18 interceptions as well as 1,876 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns in parts of five seasons in Fayetteville.

Shortly after Jefferson announced he would move to UCF, wide receiver Kobe Hudson announced he would return to the Knights in 2024. Hudson, a former Auburn transfer, had 44 catches for 900 yards and eight TDs this past season.
