What a better way to get your minds off of two tough conference losses than a good old-fashioned beat down on a weaker non-conference team. Arkansas brutalized the Mean Green on Saturday in Fayetteville. This was a great game to shoot. Action packed with lots of big plays. This was certainly my best game this season. The lead photo of Darren McFadden stiff-arming the helmet off of North Texas' Antoine Bush will probably go down as the tailback's all-time memorable moment. McFadden was quoted the other day naming the stiff-arm his favorite to date.
Robert Johnson hauled in a 37-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Casey Dick. The Razorbacks finally got their passing game going against North Texas.
Felix Jones races 71-yards for a touchdown in the second quarter as teammate Darren McFadden runs to greet him in the end zone.
London Crawford carries the ball 61 yards for a touchdown off a pass from Casey Dick.
Darren McFadden dives for the end zone but came up a yard short. He scored on the next play.
Arkansas' defense held North Texas to just 329 yards.
Jerell Norton returned a pass interception 100 yards for a touchdown with just 31 seconds left in the game. Too bad the stadium was nearly empty at that point. The return set a school record.
Backup quarterback Nathan Emert dives for the endzone ahead of a nasty hit by a North Texas defender. Emert was stopped short of the goal line on the collision. I was really surprised he got up as fast as he did. It was a massive hit. The Hogs scored on the next play.
Of course Peyton Hillis grinded out yardage for Arkansas. Hillis pounded out 66 yards on 11 carries. None of Hillis' yards ever come easy it seems.
Michael Grant and the Razorback secondary got the job done on Saturday. They didn't give up any big plays, but again, it was North Texas.
The Razorbacks threw down 45 points on North Texas by halftime on Saturday. To the Mean Green's credit they did manage to score a touchdown before the whistle blew at the half. There wasn't much shooting in the second half. Too bad college doesn't have a mercy clock for games like these. Oklahoma scored 70 points on North Texas, the Hogs were only four points shy.
The Hogs play Tennessee-Chattanooga this Saturday at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. It should be a repeat of the North Texas game. They really need to get things together this Saturday because it's back to SEC play after that against Auburn in Fayetteville.

great stuff. love the stiff arm shots... that north texas guy never had a chance.
in hindsight the doubletruck in Hawgs could have been a sequence of the stiff-arm. oh well. lots of issues left to work with.
as always you did a great job on the new issue Kai.
Poor North Texas :(
Love that McFadden photo, even if it is at the expense of my Mean Green.
Double truck photo was great in Hawgs Illustrated. Glad someone got that shot, and of course it was you, Mr. Henning!
I bow in humility to your sports shooting capabilities. I've been trying to get a dive shot near a marker all season, and you got one of McFadden!
