Arch Manning accounts for six scores as No. 17 Texas pastes Arkansas

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Arch Manning threw for a career-best 389 yards and four touchdowns, ran for a score and caught a pass for another as No. 17 Texas dismantled Arkansas 52-37 on Saturday afternoon in a Southeastern Conference dustup in Austin, Texas, to keep alive its waning College Football Playoff chances.

The Longhorns (8-3, 5-2 SEC) dominated the second half after a back-and-forth start. Manning went 18 of 30 for the day with no interceptions while all three of his passes to DeAndre Moore went for touchdowns.

The Razorbacks (2-9, 0-7 SEC) were led by backup signalcaller KJ Jackson, who racked up 206 yards and one touchdown passing along with a late rushing score in relief of the injured Taylen Green. Mike Washington ran for 105 yards and a TD in Arkansas’ ninth straight loss.

Arkansas struck first on a 51-yard field goal by Scott Starzyk at the 13:11 mark of the first quarter. The Longhorns answered immediately with a 46-yard TD pass from Manning to Moore to make it 7-3.

Starzyk added a 33-yard FG on the Razorbacks’ ensuing possession.

Texas turned to some trickeration to expand its lead as wideout Parker Livingstone took the ball on a double reverse and passed to an uncovered Manning in the end zone for a 4-yard score with 2:32 to play in the first.

Washington battered his way around left end for a 22-yard touchdown run to bring Arkansas within 14-13 a minute into the second quarter. But the Longhorns kept their collective foot on the pedal with Manning hitting Livingstone on a 54-yard TD pass with 12:26 to play before halftime.

Green scooted around left end for a 4-yard score midway through the second quarter to bring the Razorbacks back to within one. Texas’ Mason Shipley booted a 44-yard field goal on the half’s final play to push the lead to 24-20 at the break.

Manning ran 3 yards for a touchdown on the Longhorns’ first possession of the third quarter to make it 31-20 and connected with Moore on an 8-yard scoring pass with 7:05 to play to create some separation.

Starzyk booted a third field goal, this one from 33 yards away, but Texas quickly discarded any notion it would allow a comeback. Manning scrambled out of the pocket before passing to Moore for a 20-yard TD late in the third.

The Longhorns padded their lead when Liona Lefau scooped up a Jackson fumble after a sack and strip by Colin Simmons and ran 52 yards for Texas’ first defensive TD this season. That made it 52-23 with 11:30 to go.

Arkansas and Mississippi St., each out for 1st SEC win, set to clash

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The last time Arkansas won a Southeastern Conference game was last season when the Razorbacks defeated Mississippi State.

The last time Mississippi State won an SEC game was two seasons ago when the Bulldogs defeated Arkansas.

One of the teams will end its league losing streak when the Razorbacks (2-6, 0-4 SEC), who have lost six straight overall, and the Bulldogs (4-4, 0-4), who have lost four in a row overall, meet again Saturday in Fayetteville, Ark.

Both teams were in good position to win last week before faltering.

Arkansas had an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter before turning the ball over on each of its last four possessions to lose to visiting Auburn 33-24 and fall to 0-3 under interim head coach Bobby Petrino.

“We’ve got to get all three phases to work together in order to get a win,” Petrino said.

The Razorbacks have lost seven consecutive SEC games since defeating the host Bulldogs 58-25 last October under former head coach Sam Pittman, who was fired on Sept. 28.

“I’ve been impressed with our attitude,” Petrino said. “I’ve been impressed with the leadership within the team, and guys wanting to step up and get more work, get more reps. … Obviously, it’s stress. There’s no question about that. But I do feel like they’ve reacted to it pretty well.”

Mississippi State also had a different head coach the last time it won an SEC game. Zach Arnett was at the helm when the Bulldogs won at Arkansas 7-3 on Oct. 21, 2023. The team is 0-12 in SEC games under second-year head coach Jeff Lebby.

This team had a 31-14 lead over visiting Texas entering the fourth quarter last Saturday but lost 45-38 in overtime.

“Kids are resilient, man. … We’ve got a pissed-off football team,” Lebby said. “It’s not a team that’s hanging its head, not a team that’s feeling sorry for themselves. A football team that is ready to go prove that we’re a good football team. That’s my charge, because we have a good football team and we have a tough football team.”

Marcel Reed shines as No. 4 Texas A&M holds off late Arkansas rally to stay perfect

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Marcel Reed passed for 280 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another to help Texas A&M remain unbeaten with a 45-42 victory over Arkansas in Southeastern Conference play on Saturday at Fayetteville, Ark.

The No. 4 Aggies (7-0, 4-0 SEC) won their first seven games in a season for the first time since 1994 and withstood a resilient effort by the Razorbacks (2-5, 0-3 SEC), who lost their fifth consecutive game and their second since promoting Bobby Petrino to interim head coach after firing Sam Pittman.

Reed completed 23 of 32 passes and did not throw an interception. He also ran for 55 yards on six attempts. Rueben Owens II led the Aggies in rushing with 69 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries.

Arkansas led only once after its first drive when it took a 3-0 lead following a 22-yard field goal by Scott Starzyk that was set up by a 48-yard run by Mike Washington Jr.

But the Razorbacks never let Texas A&M build a lead larger than 11 points.

Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green played a huge role in keeping the Razorbacks in the game as he completed 19 of 32 passes for 256 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Green also ran for 86 yards and two touchdowns on 11 attempts. Washington led Arkansas with 147 rushing yards on 16 carries.

Green’s 4-yard touchdown pass to CJ Brown with 10 seconds left capped a 93-yard drive and cut the Aggies’ lead to three. But Texas A&M recovered the ensuing onside kick and Reed took a knee to seal the win.

Dayon Hayes, Cashius Howell, Marco Jones and Dalton Brooks each contributed to sacks over the Razorbacks’ final two possessions to help hold off Arkansas’ comeback attempt.

After Arkansas’ field goal to open the scoring, Reed led back-to-back touchdown drives to put Texas A&M ahead 14-3. Reed’s first touchdown pass from 24 yards out to Ashton Bethel-Roman put the Aggies ahead for good with 6:06 left in the first quarter.

No. 4 Texas A&M tackles improved Arkansas in Southwest Classic

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Texas A&M stands No. 4 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, which makes the Aggies the highest-ranked team in the Southeastern Conference.

But the Aggies are expecting to be without top rusher Le’Veon Moss when they take on host Arkansas (2-4, 0-2 SEC) on Saturday afternoon in the annual Southwest Classic.

Head coach Mike Elko said Monday that Moss will be out “for a significant period of time” with an ankle injury, which adds a layer of difficulty for the Aggies (6-0, 3-0) as they try to build on their best start since 2016.

Moss exited to the locker room before the end of Texas A&M’s 34-17 home win over Florida on Saturday. He has rushed for 389 yards and six scores in just 70 carries this season.

“It’s an unrelated injury to anything that he has been dealing with,” Elko said. “It has nothing to do with last year. It has nothing to do with what he has been dealing with earlier this year. It is an isolated injury on that tackle (the play he was injured on). It’s an ankle, not a knee, which is a really positive sign. He is going to have to go get it looked at and we will kind of figure out where it is at.”

Rueben Owens II is likely to pick up most of the slack in Moss’ absence as he was the Aggies’ leading rusher last week with 51 yards and his first touchdown of the year.

Quarterback Marcel Reed (1,490 yards, 12 touchdowns, four interceptions) leads a balanced Aggies offense that averages 34.7 points per game. Defensively, the Aggies have been solid against the run and rank 22nd nationally in rushing yards allowed per game (103.3).

Arkansas leads the all-time series 42-36-3, but the Aggies have won the past three meetings.

This will be the first time the Southwest Classic game will be played on Arkansas’ home field since 2013. The past 11 matchups were played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tex., with the exception of the 2020 game, which was played at College Station, Tex.

The Razorbacks are riding a four-game losing streak, but they played much better last week in a 34-31 loss to Tennessee during interim coach Bobby Petrino’s first game since taking over for Sam Pittman after he was fired following a 56-13 loss to Notre Dame on Sept. 27.

Arkansas lost three fumbles in the game, but Mike Washington ran for 131 yards and a touchdown. The Razorbacks were tied at 17 at halftime and cut a 34-17 deficit to three late in the fourth on a pair of touchdown passes by quarterback Taylen Green, who was sacked five times.

Arkansas has had one of the most explosive offenses in the nation, ranked 27th with 36.3 points per game. But the Razorbacks are ranked 114th in scoring defense (30.7 points per game) and 118th in turnover margin (minus-5).

“We were very, very competitive,” Petrino said Monday. “I liked the way we played with emotion and excitement, but we got to actually play the game of football better to get a win like that.”

No. 12 Tennessee surges ahead in third quarter, holds off Arkansas

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Peyton Lewis rushed for two touchdowns, and the No. 12 Tennessee Volunteers broke a halftime tie to beat Arkansas 34-31 in Bobby Petrino’s return as interim head coach of the Razorbacks on Saturday afternoon in Knoxville, Tenn.

Joey Aguilar was 16 of 25 for 221 yards and a TD for the Volunteers (5-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference), who scored 17 unanswered points after the break and had 485 yards of offense.

Tennessee’s DeSean Bishop rushed 14 times for 146 yards and a TD, and Miles Kitselman caught a score. Braylon Staley produced 109 yards on six receptions.

Volunteers defensive lineman Jordan Ross forced a fumble and recovered one. Arion Carter and Jadon Perlotte added fumble recoveries.

The head coach of the visitors from 2008 to 2011, Petrino was back on the sidelines leading the Razorbacks (2-4, 0-2), who had won the previous four matchups.

Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green was 21 of 31 for 256 yards and tossed TD passes to Rohan Jones and Kam Shanks. Mike Washington Jr. rushed 19 times for 131 yards and a score as Arkansas had 496 yards of offense.

A nearly two-touchdown underdog, Arkansas got a strong showing from Green, who led the visitors 75 yards in nine plays. Green’s 11-yard run less than five minutes in made it 7-0.

But the Volunteers had an answer on a 75-yard drive. Bishop burst through the left side and slashed his way for a 17-yard score to tie it.

The Razorbacks regained the advantage on Scott Starzyk’s field goal from 28 yards before the first quarter ended, but Max Gilbert’s 37-yard kick knotted it early in the second.

Washington’s short TD run put Arkansas up 17-10 at 4:36 before Aguilar connected with Kitselman from 8 yards with 2:52 remaining in the half.

On the second half’s first drive, Gilbert gave the Volunteers their first lead with a booming 50-yard field goal to make it 20-17. The defense then stopped Arkansas with a fumble recovery and then on downs on the next two possessions.

The orange-clad side went up by two scores, 27-17, when Lewis bulled in to end a 74-yard drive at 2:11 of the third quarter. His second TD, a 3-yard run, made it 34-17 at 13:14 of the fourth.

Green threw TDs to Jones and Shanks, the latter with 2:55 left.

With Bobby Petrino back, Arkansas seeks another upset of No. 12 Tennessee

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Arkansas Razorbacks put a slight dent in Tennessee’s College Football Playoff positioning last season, so coach Josh Heupel’s No. 12 Volunteers will try to avoid a repeat of that game on Saturday afternoon in Knoxville, Tenn.

Holding a 13-7 all-time series edge, the Volunteers (4-1, 1-1 SEC) will meet up with the new-look Razorbacks (2-3, 0-1) who have won the last four matchups.

A two-touchdown home underdog last year, Arkansas dealt No. 4 Tennessee its first setback, 19-14.

As the conference continues a superb 2025 — eight of the AP Top 25’s top 14 currently ranked schools are SEC ones — Tennessee will look to rebound from that disappointing loss in what was a 10-3 season, ending with a crushing first-round CFP exit to eventual national champ Ohio State.

The Arkansas defeat helped force Tennessee to hit the road for an 8-9 matchup that the Buckeyes won easily, 42-17.

The Razorbacks started their bye week by firing sixth-year coach Sam Pittman, who was just 14-29 in conference play and embarrassed 56-13 by visiting Notre Dame in Week 5. They then promoted offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino on an interim basis.

Petrino, 64, went 34-17 from 2008 to 2011 with Arkansas, but he was dismissed in April 2012 for a scandal triggered by his lying about a motorcycle accident that involved him and a female assistant with whom he was having a relationship and giving cash to.

The OC-turned-HC said his defense will have to step up against Tennessee’s pass-slinging first-year quarterback Joey Aguilar, especially considering Petrino fired three defensive coaches on Day 1 at the helm.

“They’re a challenge, they’ve always been a challenge,” Petrino said. “They spread the field, but they want to run the ball. So the biggest challenge is, how do you defend the pass and stop the run?”

The Volunteers lead in nation in scoring (51 pts per game) and rank sixth in total offense (536.4 yards per game).

“I went into a lot of games where you thought, ‘Aw, man, this is going to be a shootout,’ and at halftime, it’s 10-9,” said Petrino, who has reduced game-week practice from four days to three and decided to move from the press box to the sidelines to run his offense. “Certainly, I feel like we’ve got to go in and be able to move the ball and score points.”

Heupel’s orange-clad defenders must slow down Razorbacks quarterback Taylen Green, who leads the country with 367.8 total yards per game.

The 6-foot-6, 224-pound former Boise State standout has tossed 12 TDs and produced two 100-yard rushing games.

“You’ve got to play gap-sound and get off the blocks,” Heupel said Monday of containing the Lewisville, Texas, playmaker. “He’s dynamic. He’s got great long speed, and you’ve got to be able to tackle him. In the different structures we’re playing (up front defensively), our gap integrity is going to be important.”

Added Heupel: “Bobby’s done it at a really high level for a really long time. It’s a good football team … that may have been on the wrong side of the scoreboard a little bit.”

Heupel said All-American cornerback Jermod McCoy “continues to do a great job” in his recovery from ACL surgery, but will likely be unavailable.

Report: Bobby Petrino shakes up staff at Arkansas

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Interim Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino fired three defensive assistants in his first full day on the job, ESPN reported Monday.

Petrino, appointed after Sunday’s firing of Sam Pittman, reportedly fired Razorbacks defensive coordinator Travis Williams, defensive line coach Deke Adams and defensive assistant Marcus Woodson.

The dominoes began falling after Arkansas (2-3, 0-1 SEC) gave up 643 yards of offense in Saturday’s 56-13 thrashing by then-No. 22 Notre Dame in Fayetteville, Ark. The Razorbacks gave up 42 points in the first half, their most before halftime of a game since 2005.

Pittman was fired after five-plus seasons with a 32-34 record, including a 3-0 mark in bowl games.

Petrino, who was head coach of the Razorbacks from 2008-11, had been Pittman’s offensive coordinator.

Arkansas is off this week and returns to action next Saturday, Oct. 11, at No. 15 Tennessee (4-1, 1-1).

Petrino, 64, has a 119-56 record as head coach at Louisville (2003-06, 2014-18), Arkansas and Western Kentucky (2013). He also coached Missouri State to an 18-15 record from 2020-23 before it became an FBS program and spent 13 games as the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons in 2007. With a 3-10 record, he abruptly resigned to take the Arkansas job.

The first go-round at Arkansas for Petrino ended when he was fired after it was discovered he was having an affair with a young staff member in the athletic department.

No. 22 Notre Dame prefers fight over flight vs. flawed Arkansas

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Marcus Freeman is tired of hearing questions about his team’s defense.

No, Freeman said, he will not take over defensive play-calling for No. 22 Notre Dame (1-2) when it goes up against Arkansas (2-2) on Saturday afternoon in Fayetteville, Ark.

Yes, Freeman said, he will look for his players to take responsibility for playing better.

The Fighting Irish have allowed 98 points in their first three games. That hasn’t happened since 2007, when Charlie Weis’ team gave up 102 in their first three on the way to an 0-5 start and a 3-9 season.

“During tough times, there’s two options: fight or flight,” Freeman said. “And the guys that (choose) flight blame other people. ‘It’s the call. It’s his fault. It’s this coach’s fault or it’s that player’s fault. We gave up a big play, that corner should’ve covered him.’ That’s flight mode.

“But the fight mode is, ‘Gosh. Call man again. I promise you my man’s not going to catch the ball. I’m going to play with the right technique and I’m going to refuse to let my man catch the ball.’ … That’s the fight mode.”

Notre Dame will go for back-to-back victories after posting a 56-30 win at home against Purdue last weekend. Now comes the second road game of the season for the Fighting Irish, who dropped their season opener 27-24 against then-No. 10 Miami.

Arkansas returns home after a brutal 32-31 loss last Saturday at Memphis. The Razorbacks led 31-20 late in the third quarter before the Tigers stormed back to win the game.

The setback marked the second straight loss for Arkansas and embattled coach Sam Pittman.

“We just have to get better,” Pittman said, “and we’ve got to have guys flying to the football. We’ve got to have the physicality. I don’t care what defense you run, if you don’t run to the football and you don’t tackle well, and you don’t have that aggressive ‘Let’s go get them (mentality),’ I don’t care what you’re running, it’s not going to work.”

Pittman embraces the rarity that is Saturday’s game. It marks the first time Notre Dame has played at Arkansas.

“We have an opportunity,” he said. “The only way we can win people that don’t believe in us, or win some more positive thoughts about our program, is to win games.”

To do so, Arkansas will have to stop a dynamic 1-2 punch in the backfield for Notre Dame. Jeremiyah Love leads the team with 284 rushing yards to go along with three touchdowns while Jadarian Price has 187 rushing yards with a team-high five rushing touchdowns.

Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr also continues to improve. The redshirt freshman has completed 66.2 percent of his passes for 737 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions.

Arkansas’ top playmaker is fifth-year quarterback Taylen Green, who has passed for 1,191 yards, an SEC-best 12 touchdowns and four interceptions. He also owns a team-high 360 rushing yards with two touchdowns on the ground.

O’Mega Blake is Green’s top target in the passing game. Blake has 24 catches for 326 yards and three touchdowns.

Freeman said Notre Dame could not take anything for granted against Arkansas.

“There’s still areas we’ve got to improve at,” Freeman said. “It’s just going to take time. There is no perfect answer, or I promise you we would do it.”

Memphis rallies to beat Arkansas for 4-0 start

Posted on | by Field Level Media

MEMPHIS – Memphis stopped a potential game-winning drive by Arkansas with 1:18 remaining by forcing a fumble inside its 10-yard line to knock off the Razorbacks, 32-31 on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers extended their nation-leading win streak to eight games.

Memphis defensive back Chris Bracy forced Arkansas running back Mike Washington to fumble at the Tigers 7-yard line and Bracy recovered. Officials didn’t initially rule the play a fumble, but a review confirmed it was a turnover.

Tigers’ backup quarterback Arrington Maiden preserved the win by coming in to rush 11 yards for a first down with on third-and-8 at the Memphis 9-yard line with 58 seconds left.

Sutton Smith rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown and quarterback Brendon Lewis added 103 yards and two scores for the Tigers, who were hosting a Power 4 team for the first time since 2021. Lewis also passed for 199 yards and another TD.

Taylen Green passed for 325 yards and a touchdown and tight end Rohan Jones scored twice – one rushing, one receiving – for Arkansas (2-2). Jones finished with 102 receiving yards.

The Tigers (4-0) trailed by 18 in the closing minutes of the first half, but rallied to take a 32-31 lead with 4:51 remaining on a 64-yard run by Smith. Smith sprung himself at the line of scrimmage with a stiff arm and raced down the left sideline for the TD.

Arkansas responded by moving from its 25 to inside the Memphis 10-yard line. But Washington who gained 56 yards on the drive, lost the football on a second-and-2 play from the Memphis 9.

Memphis entered the game tied with Ohio State and Illinois for the nation’s longest winning streak. The Tigers are 4-0 for the first time since 2019

Arkansas needed only three plays to grab a 7-0 lead, scoring on a 62-yard pass from Green to tight end Jones.

Memphis charged back with a field goal of 38 yards from Gianni Spetic and a 4-yard touchdown run by Lewis to take its only lead of the half at 10-7.

Arkansas responded with scores on consecutive possessions in the second quarter – a 16-yard run by Braylen Russell and a 5-yard run by Jones – to move ahead 21-10. The Razorbacks made it 28-10 on a 1-yard run by Washington with 1:35 remaining in the first half, a score set up by Miguel Mitchell’s interception near midfield.

The Tigers found the end zone in the closing minute on a 38-yard pass from Lewis to Cortez Braham Jr to trim the Arkansas advantage to 28-17.

Trinidad Chambliss steps up big for No. 17 Ole Miss to beat Arkansas

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Trinidad Chambliss passed for 353 yards and one touchdown and rushed for two scores in his first major college start to help No. 17 Ole Miss win a 41-35 shootout against Arkansas on Saturday night in Southeastern Conference play at Oxford, Miss.

Chambliss drew the start because Austin Simmons is dealing with an ankle injury. The transfer from Division II Ferris State completed 21 of 29 passes and rushed for 62 yards on 15 attempts for the Rebels (3-0, 2-0 SEC).

Harrison Wallace III caught six passes for 92 yards and one touchdown for Ole Miss. De’Zhaun Stribling also caught a scoring pass and Kewan Lacy ran for one for the Rebels.

Taylen Green completed 22 of 35 passes for 305 yards and one touchdown and rushed for 111 yards and one score for Arkansas (2-1, 0-1). Mike Washington rushed for two touchdowns, Braylen Russell rushed for one and O’Mega Blake caught one for the Razorbacks.

Arkansas senior cornerback Kani Walker was carted off the field on a stretcher nine seconds into the fourth quarter after getting hit in the back of the head by the legs of teammate Caleb Wooden while defending a pass play.

Walker had movement in all his extremities and was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oxford, according to Arkansas. The game was delayed for approximately 12 minutes. Walker gave a thumbs-up sign while being carted off.

Shortly before that injury, Chambliss threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Stribling to give Ole Miss a 38-28 lead with 4:56 remaining in the third quarter.

Lucas Carneiro tacked on a 23-yard field goal to put the Rebels ahead by 13 with 10:58 left in the game.

Arkansas moved within 41-35 when Washington scored on a 3-yard run with 4:56 left. The Razorbacks had another chance but Jalen Brown fumbled at the Ole Miss 24-yard line and Ole Miss’ Wydett Williams Jr. recovered it there with 1:52 remaining.

Carneiro kicked a 36-yard field goal as time expired in the first half to give Ole Miss a 31-28 lead.

The first quarter was quiet with Lacy scoring on a 2-yard run for the Rebels and Green tossing a 30-yard scoring pass to Blake for the Razorbacks. What followed was a wild 45-point second quarter.

Chambliss scored on a 2-yard run to give Ole Miss a 14-7 lead before Arkansas answered on Washington’s 47-yard run. The Rebels again moved ahead on Chambliss’ 1-yard TD run before Russell’s 3-yard scoring run for the Razorbacks knotted it at 21 with 7:01 left in the first half.

Chambliss badly cut his right hand on the next Ole Miss possession and Simmons entered the game. Simmons capped the drive with a 4-yard scoring toss to Wallace with 3:17 left but aggravated the ankle injury and was limping in pain on the sideline.

Arkansas tied the score at 28 on Green’s 5-yard keeper with 1:18 remaining.
