Arkansas played their inaugural Southwest Classic game against Texas A&M last weekend at Jerry World, a.k.a. Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington, Texas. Talk about having to step up your game to get noticed in such a grand venue. The Hogs started off slow, falling behind 10 points to the Aggies in the first quarter. The forced fumble above sparked a furious comeback by the Razorbacks in the second quarter. The Hog calls would be non-stop from then on.
Linebacker Jerry Franklin returned the fumble 85 yards for a touchdown.
It was a big moment, to say the least.
Everyone played a role in the win. Both running back DeAnthony Curtis, left, and wide receiver Joe Adams put sixes on the board.
Freshman running back Ronnie Wingo Jr. was runner-up for play of the game with his huge 62-yard run to finish the Aggies in the fourth.
Wingo already has whispers of McFadden and Jones coming from the media and fans alike. Time will tell.
Senior tailback Michael Smith, left, and power running back Broderick Green also had sixes against Texas A&M.
Ryan Mallett was stellar once again going 17-27-1 for 271 yards and 4 TD's against the Aggies. He spread the ball out to seven different receivers. Greg Childs had 3 catches for 10 yards.
Bobby Petrino was throwing around a lot of compliments to his players. He had more happy faces than frowning faces this time around. It's hard not to smile when you've got guys like Wingo making plays.
Cowboys Stadium was simply amazing. Huge isn't huge enough to put the place into words. Obscene, maybe. That freakin' video board really is something to behold. Can't wait to return for another dose of Jerry World next year. :)
Time for bed. Arkansas vs. Auburn, or Petrino vs. Malzahn if you like, at 11 a.m. Could be a 100 point game.
