Arkansas did not score a touchdown until their seventh drive in last year’s game when they took a 20-7 lead in the third quarter on a 13-yard pass from Austin Allen to Drew Morgan with 4:27 left. In other words, the offense spent the first 40 minutes of regulation without getting into the end zone.
The biggest surprise of Thursday’s opener was the offensive line where true freshman blue shirt Ty Clary started at right guard. Clary isn’t even scheduled to go on scholarship until January.

“Brian Wallace has been playing good football. Jake Raulerson has been playing good football. Zach Rogers has been playing outstanding football. But Ty Clary the last two weeks was playing even better football.”
Left guard Hjalte Froholdt had the highest grade of all the offensive linemen from last weekend with a 94. Center Frank Ragnow, right tackle Johnny Gibson and Clary
