Arkansas Razorbacks Football Fanatics

It was so awesome - and, yeah, a little heart-breaking - to see Knile on the sidelines Saturday night at the Auburn game.  His injury is the single biggest disappointment of the year for me.  Even so, he remains the prototype of what a Razorback player can and should be.  How sweet it would be to see him back in 2012 as a Heisman candidate!

The University of Arkansas football team (4-1) stormed back from a 35-17 second half deficit to defeat Texas A&M (2-2) 42-38 Saturday afternoon in the Southwest Classic inside Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.  Wide receiver Jarius Wright caught 13 passes for a school-record 281 yards, and quarterback Tyler Wilson passed for a school-record 510 yards with three touchdowns to lead Arkansas.

Wright and Wilson connected twice during the game-winning 80-yard drive including a 31-yard strike, before running back Broderick Green charged up the middle into the endzone to put the Razorbacks ahead 42-38 with 1:41 to play.

The Razorbacks' defense stopped the Aggies for no gain on a fourth and two with 1:15 to play to force a turnover on downs and ensure the victory.

Wright eclipsed the previous Arkansas single game receiving record of 204 yards, set by Mike Reppond against Rice in 1971, before halftime. He had nine receptions for 227 yards and a touchdown after just two quarters.

Wilson finished the game 30-for-51 with 510 yards and three touchdowns without throwing an interception. The previous passing record for one game was 409, set by Ryan Mallett against Vanderbilt last season. Wilson also set Arkansas' individual records for total yards by one player with 481, and total individual plays with 57. His 30 completions were a career high.

NFL Players at Arkansas Spring Game

In addition to the 70+ recruits onhand for the Red-White Spring Game, there were several present and future NFL Arkansas players on the sidelines... and yeah, Calling the Hogs too.  It's great to see these guys coming back supporting the program - and Bobby Petrino.

ArkansasRazorbacks.com: The University of Arkansas football team finished its first week of spring practice Thursday, hitting the field inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium for the third time in as many days.

Head coach Bobby Petrino, the only coach in history to lead two different programs to their first BCS appearance, explained the reasoning behind Arkansas practice schedule on Monday.

"Getting ready for finals," Coach Petrino said. "With moving back the start date of school and last year we butted right up at the end of spring ball, we were right into finals. I wanted to have an extra week of preparation for our players to get ready for finals, a week for me to meet with them. Last year, everything was just really cramped at the spring semester. We looked at how to move it back. If you remember, last year was the first year they moved the spring break back a week."

The Razorbacks continue spring practice after the University of Arkansas' week-long break from classes, resuming on Tuesday, March 29. Arkansas is working towards its April 16 spring game, as a part of the Woo Pig Spring Weekend. The annual scrimmage will be televised nationally for the first time in school history on ESPN at 2 p.m.

AWESOME!
