The Arkansas Razorbacks looked night and day different in this years opener compared to last seasons.
The Hogs took care of business in Little Rock versus the Missouri State Bears in an impressive 48-10 victory that included a new passing record.
Ryan Mallett and Tyler Wilson combined 30 competitions on 41 attempts for a record 447 yards. Mallett of Texarkana was 17-22 for 309 yards and 1 TD while Wilson of Grenwood was 13-19 for 138 yards, 2 TD’s and 1 interception. Both quarterbacks were very crisp and very patient staying in the pocket making good decisions.
Thirteen different receivers caught passes in the game.
