•••
2:26, 4Q: Texas scores on a 2-yard touchdown run by Casey Thompson. It is a 40-21 game. Fans are booing the officials for not taking a look at Thompson's run on replay. Looked like his knee may have been down with the ball short of the goalline.
Nevertheless, Arkansas can run out the clock with a first down or two.
8:27, 4Q: AJ Green's 30-yard touchdown run puts Arkansas up 40-14. The Razorbacks have rushed for 309 yards (7.2 yards per carry) and four touchdowns.
13:33, 4Q: Casey Thompson, in for Texas at quarterback in place of Hudson Card, scores from 5 yards out. Razorbacks lead 33-14 with 13:33 left.
Arkansas hurt itself with two 15-yard penalties on Joe Foucha and Tre Williams. Foucha's was a late hit on the Razorbacks' sideline. Williams' was a roughing the passer penalty that would have brought up 4th-and-9.
End 3Q: Arkansas leads 33-7 entering the fourth quarter. The Razorbacks have rushed for 234 yards at 6.7 yards per carry. The Longhorns have 163 total yards of offense.
The Arkansas crowd is in party mode.
1:50, 3Q: Arkansas probably just delivered the knockout blow.
Zach Williams knocked the ball out of Texas quarterback Hudson Card's hand and it was recovered by the Razorbacks. On Arkansas' next snap, Raheim Sanders scored his first touchdown of the year from 26 yards out. He bullied a Longhorns defender at the goalline. It's 33-7, Arkansas.
2:08, 3Q: Arkansas’ Cam Little tacks on his fourth field goal of the night and the Razorbacks lead Texas 26-7 with 2:08 left in the third quarter.
KJ Jefferson and Trelon Smith have rushed for a combined 148 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries.
5:40, 3Q: Arkansas' defense stuffs Texas on 4th-and-1 at the Longhorns' 42. Hayden Henry blew up the play and his teammates cleaned it up. Razorbacks' offense has a chance to connect on the knockout blow here. Hogs up 23-7 and driving.
8:16, 3Q: Arkansas' lead is 23-7. Big-time response from the Razorbacks' offense after Texas started to chip away at their lead. Trelon Smith capped a quick scoring drive with a short TD run in which he dove over the pile of linemen and got in.
The score was set up by two great Domonique Johnson runs that totaled 31 yards and a great blitz pickup by the back, allowing KJ Jefferson time to find Tyson Morris for a 45-yard deep ball.
10:17, 3Q: Texas is on the board on Bijan Robinson’s 1-yard TD run. The score was set up by a KJ Jefferson interception. The Longhorns picked off Jefferson, who was looking for freshman Ketron Jackson, and had a 26-yard field to work with.
Razorbacks lead 16-7.
13:14, 3Q: Razorbacks' defense is playing really, really hard. Grant Morgan was all over the place on Texas' first drive. He's up to 8 tackles and 2 TFLs. Hayden Henry, who has 6 tackles, is still in the game despite Bumper Pool having served his suspension. Henry is playing very well, too.
Halftime: Arkansas leads Texas 16-0. Razorbacks completely dominated the game for 30 minutes, especially on defense. The Longhorns mustered 78 yards of offense and were outgained 228-78. Arkansas also blocked a punt, and Cam Little is 3/3 on field goals.
Arkansas ran for 146 yards — Trelon Smith 59 and KJ Jefferson 61. Dominique Johnson has 2 carries for 14 yards and the lone score of the game.
Treylon Burks has a team-high 5 grabs for 37 yards. Warren Thompson and Blake Kern have 2 catches each for 10 and 8 yards, respectively.
Hudson Card’s first half — 4 of 8 passing, 39 yards, QB rating of 91. Bijan Robinson ran 10 times for 38 yards. No Texas receiver has more than 1 reception.
Longhorns are 0/6 on 3rd down. Arkansas isn’t much better (1/8), but the Razorbacks’ defense has come to play and has been lights out. Now Bumper Pool returns.
3:00, 2Q: Cam Little’s 44-yard field goal is good. It ricocheted off the right upright and through. He’s 3/3 tonight.
Arkansas’ lead is 16-0. KJ Jefferson had a 34-yard run on that series, but it fell flat again. Good thing for Arkansas that Little has been consistent tonight.
6:02, 2Q: Arkansas' defense with another stop. Texas has gone 3-and-out on 4 of 5 possessions so far. The Razorbacks are also playing really well up front. Taurean Carter broke up a pass on 3rd down, forcing a punt.
Arkansas' 3-man defensive front on that series: Mataio Soli, Carter and Eric Gregory. Those guys are playing well and allowing others in the rotation to rest. The line looks deep to me right now with guys you feel comfortable throwing out there for key snaps.
Arkansas ball at its 21 when play resumes. Razorbacks up 13-0.
7:34, 2Q: Razorbacks get three more points and take a 13-0 lead after blocking a Texas punt. Jake Yurachek blocked the kick and Mataio Soli plucked it out of the air. Arkansas, though, couldn't punch the turnover in for six. Cam Little's second field goal of the game was a 24-yarder.
10:55, 2Q: Dominique Johnson gets in from 5 yards out on a clever play design.
KJ Jefferson went under center, Johnson behind the right guard, Treylon Burks at tailback. Razorbacks sent a slot receiver in motion left-to-right, handoff to Johnson moving left. Hogs up 10-0 and the crowd is loving it.
Johnson has tied Jefferson for the team lead in rushing scores. He had one at the end of the win over Rice last week. He runs hard, and Sam Pittman loves that.
13:40, 2Q: Arkansas' defense stands tall after Texas pushed the ball inside its 25. John Ridgeway came up with the first sack of his Razorbacks career, completely whipping Texas' center on the play. Hudson Card then just missed a touchdown pass to Jordan Whittington in the back of the end zone. Whittington had Simeon Blair beat, but the throw was a bit too tall and bounded off the receiver's fingertips.
That brought out the field goal unit for a 52-yard kick. It missed wide right. Arkansas has a 3-0 lead.
End 1Q: Arkansas leads Texas 3-0 on Cam Little's 24-yard kick. The Longhorns have put a nice drive together and pushed the ball to the Razorbacks' 24 as we get set for the start of the second quarter.
KJ Jefferson rushed five times for 25 yards in the quarter and hit 6 of 8 passes for 43 yards. Arkansas outgained Texas 92-56 in the first quarter.
2:03, 1Q: Arkansas' best series of the night nets three points. Razorbacks lead 3-0 after a 24-yard field goal from Cam Little.
KJ Jefferson led a nice drive that ultimately fell flat inside the red zone, but he picked up a key fourth down with his feet. He had rushes of 15 and 12 yards, and hit Treylon Burks for 14 yards as well.
The series went 12 plays, gained 57 yards and took 5:29 off the clock.
7:32, 1Q: What a sequence from Grant Morgan on the last Texas series. He blew through a hole in the middle of the Longhorns line and brought down Bijan Robinson behind the line then sacked Hudson Card. The defense is fired up and playing lights out to this point.
Arkansas ball at its 37 when play resumes. Bobby Portis took the field during the timeout and led fans in a Hog call.
9:23, 1Q: Razorbacks pick up one first down on Trelon Smith's big run up the middle, but don't find much after that. AJ Green caught the first pass of his young career on 3rd-and-long and got within a half-yard of the line to gain. Sam Pittman elected to punt. Texas takes back over at their 25 following a TV timeout.
Trey Knox took the field on that series and lined up as a tight end at the right end of the offensive line. He worked at the position throughout the week in addition to receiver.
11:20, 1Q: Arkansas' defense punches right back, forcing a Longhorns punt. Isaiah Nichols got the start at defensive tackle for the second straight week and he blew up a run play on snap No. 2. Good series overall for the unit.
Greg Brooks then bobbled a punt he fielded inside the Arkansas 10 and it looks like Texas recovered. However, a Longhorns player stepped out of bounds prior to hopping on the ball. Razorbacks have possession at their 4. Wild sequence.
13:36, 1Q: Razorbacks go 3-and-out on their first possession of the game. Arkansas was hit with a false start on its first snap, Trelon Smith was wrapped up in the backfield, then KJ Jefferson's pass to Smith came up a few yards shy of the line to gain.
