In no uncertain terms, this was a crushing loss for Arkansas, which No. 21 Kentucky defeated 42-29 on Saturday at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
The Razorbacks’ inability to score points when they put together productive drives ultimately cost them. So did their defense, which has given up 36.3 points per game this season.
For the second consecutive week, […]
Here are Arkansas’ injuries from the Razorbacks’ 42-29 loss to No. 21 Kentucky:
1. Receiver Crosby Tuck fractured his right elbow. He will likely be given a medical redshirt.
2. Linebacker Weston Dacus suffered a slight concussion.
3. Darren McFadden and Felix Jones both had stomach viruses.
Arkansas was flagged for a roughing-the-kicker penalty on Lones Seiber’s 37-yard attempt. Three plays later, the Wildcats found the end zone with 7:59 left. Their attempt at a two-point conversion was snuffed out when quarterback Andre Woodson was gang-tackled. Arkansas 29, Kentucky 27.
Special teams play has been a big theme in this game, so far.
Felix Jones returned the ball 82 yards for a touchdown, moments after Arkansas picked up a safety. Jones burst through a seam before outrunning Kentucky’s kick coverage along the near sideline. It was Jones’ second kickoff return for a touchdown this year and it was his fourth of his career. He’s now tied with Willie […]
A bungled play by Kentucky led to Andre Woodson being tackled by Fred Bledsoe in the end zone for a safety. Arkansas takes a 22-21 lead with 11:51 remaining in the game.
Davis dropped a 45-yard punt inside Kentucky’s five-yard line. The Wildcats take over at the 3 with 11:57 left in the game. Davis, in many ways, has been a pleasant surprise this year after making the switch from placekicker before the start of the season.
After Arkansas recovered a Kentucky fumble forced by safety Matt Hewitt, London Crawford ran an end around and Chris Baker caught a pass for a first down. Baker, a senior, had not made a reception all year before hauling in that pass.
Tuck suffered a broken right arm in the third quarter. He will not return.
The man who didn’t know Darren McFadden’s name made sure the Arkansas crowd knows his. Free safety Marcus McClinton stepped in front of Crosby Tuck to pick off a pass thrown by Razorbacks quarterback Casey Dick.
McClinton snared the ball at the Kentucky 39 and took it into Arkansas territory. It was the second interception thrown […]
Arkansas had only three sacks going into this game and was having trouble generating pressure. The Razorbacks’ defensive line has done better against Kentucky. Of course, that’s in part due to Arkansas defensive coordinator Reggie Herring’s decision to bring the house on several third downs, forcing Wildcats quarterback Andre Woodson to get rid of the […]
