The Hogs had to come back from behind again for the second consecutive week against an opponent that was supposed to be a "gimme win" on their schedule. This time Arkansas had to dig themselves out of an 18-point deficit and in the end pray for a missed 45-yard field goal by ULM to escape with their "gimme." Somebody upstairs was listening. The kicker shanked it wide right and really didn't put enough leg on it. Disaster averted, again.
Michael Smith made his return after missing the Razorbacks' first game on a suspension. Smith carried the ball for 157 yards and had two touchdowns.
Joe Adams had seven catches for 87 yards. He also had a mean, D-Mac-looking stiff arm.
Arkansas' defense wasn't the force everyone expected them to be, especially up front, but they still had their moments.
Casey Dick had a career night throwing 22 for 34 for 323 yards. He also had 17 yards rushing.
Of course the biggest factor in the game was tight end D.J. Williams. He had 124 yards on five catches and scored two touchdowns.
Williams lets off some steam after a 76-yard reception that fell just four yards short of the end zone. He almost had three touchdowns Saturday night.
Bobby Petrino is going to be a fun coach to shoot. He gets MAD. Just like John Pelphrey, and we all know how I feel about Pelphrey.
A quick snapshot of Henning and Lehr, The Morning News' A-Team, just before gettin' it done in "The Rock" on Saturday. (I should've had my shades on too. I'm just way too squinty in the photo.)
Arkansas faces the Longhorns in Austin, Texas, next Saturday. There's not going to be a come from behind victory against Texas. If the Hogs don't bring their A-Game, by the way it will be me and Z-Man again for this one, then it could get really ugly, really fast.

Great shots from an "exciting" game.

You spending any time in Austin, or does TMN still fly you in and out rock-star style?

I thought about going up to Austin this weekend, but this hurricane business may change my plans. It looks like landfall will be right around kick off time on Saturday.
Great stuff from the game, Marc.
If I don't see you prior, I'll see ya in Austin.
"...it could get really ugly, really fast."
Do you mean Marc and the Z-Man or the football game.
So, what is the A team going to do on its weekend off?

we're going to sit around and play with the new Think Tank Hydrophobia rain covers we spent $370 on to keep our two 400's dry at the game that's not happening now.
fortunately we still have high school football to shoot tomorrow night and it should be raining. so we'll still get to try out our pimpin' new raincovers. they're actually pretty cool.
