Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

99 yards

Arkansas put together its first 99-yard touchdown drive in 12 years when the Razorbacks took possession at their 1 and 8:42 in the second quarter and took four plays to score on KJ Jefferson’s 14yard pass to Tyson Morris.

The touchdown was set up by Dominique Johnson’s 48-yard run on the previous play.

The last time Arkansas had gone 99 yards for a touchdown was in a 48-10 victory over Missouri State in the 2009 season opener, which also was quarterback Ryan Mallett’s debut for the Razorbacks after he transferred from Michigan and redshirted.

An interception by Tremain Thomas gave Arkansas possession at its 1.

The Razorbacks then needed 94 seconds to score on Mallett’s 40-yard touchdown pass to Joe Adams that gave Arkansas a 38-10 lead in the third quarter.
