ARKANSAS BOWL HISTORY

he University of Arkansas football team was outlasted by Ohio State in the 77th Annual Allstate Sugar Bowl in the Louisiana Superdome 31-26. The Razorbacks fell short of a comeback victory while scoring 16 second-half points to OSU’s three. UA was led by standout performances by quarterback Ryan Mallett and running back Knile Davis. UA finished the 2010 season with a 10-3 (6-2, SEC) record, marking the first time since 2006 an Arkansas team won 10 games. Mallett broke the school record for passing yards in a season with his 277-yard performance to finish the 2010 season with 3,869, passing his 2009 mark of 3,624. His outing against the Buckeyes was his 11th 200yard passing game of the season. Mallett tossed two touchdown passes against the Buckeyes to finish his junior campaign with a school-record 32 touchdown passes. Davis finished with 139 yards rushing for his sixth 100-yard rushing game of the season. Linebacker Jerry Franklin also scored a highlight finish for the Razorbacks, concluding the season with the team lead in tackles for the third straight season. Franklin was just the second Arkansas football player to accomplish the feat since 1960. Trailing 31-13 in the third quarter, Arkansas started its comeback with a 22-yard touchdown pass from Mallett to Jarius Wright in the final minute of the third quarter. A safety by the Razorback defense and a Zach Hocker 47-yard field goal cut the Buckeye lead to five midway through the fourth quarter. However, Arkansas was unable to get any closer as Ohio State held on for the win. In the summer of 2011, Ohio State vacated its Sugar Bowl victory due to an NCAA investigation.

capacity crowd of 62,742, including 55,000 Razorback fans, braved frigid temperatures to watch Alex Tejada nail a 37-yard field goal in overtime to give Arkansas a 20-17 win over East Carolina in the 2010 AutoZone Liberty Bowl. Tejada’s field goal capped a comeback that saw the Razorbacks rally from a 10-0 halftime deficit to win its initial bowl game under Coach Bobby Petrino and record Arkansas’ first bowl victory since 2003. With the Razorbacks trailing 10-3 midway through the third quarter, Tramain Thomas intercepted an ECU pass and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown. After the Pirates regained the lead, Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett connected with wide receiver Jarius Wright for 41 yards and a touchdown to tie the game at 17-17. The game remained deadlocked with ECU missing on three potential game-winning field goal attempts in the final minutes of regulation and in overtime. Tejada ended the suspense by splitting the uprights on the Razorbacks’ first drive of the extra period to give the Hogs their first overtime bowl win in school history. Mallett was named the Liberty Bowl’s most valuable player while Wright and Thomas earned recognition as the most outstanding offensive and defensive players in the game, respectively.
