It had been 70 games since Army (2-0) won two in a row and it’s the first time the Black Knights have started a season with two straight wins since 1996.

Similarly, wide receiver KaVontae Turpin was electric all night long, finishing with seven catches for 126 yards as well as four kick returns for 136 yards-including a long of 64.
An offensive lineman also used to block field goals sets Skipper apart, and netted him Arkansas’ co-special teams MVP with senior punter Toby Baker, five of six punts against TCU of 50 yards or better, but Enos said Skipper’s offensive line play was truly award winning, too. We earned everything we got and I thought Dan Skipper played an extremely solid football game and graded out very well. After a slap in the fourth quarter that would make Mike Tyson proud, I felt guilty taking out my internal rage physically. But its not about what you do … but when you do it, and there was no one better on Saturday (in spite of his counterpart Kenny Hill’s best efforts) than Allen. He’s proving himself to be a legitimate three-down back.
Western Kentucky (1-1) was outgained 475-239 in total yards against a defense that has allowed 16 points in the first two games. First it was a 57-yard catch-and-run shortly after Arkansas’ goal-line flub. It settled for a field goal, and field goals don’t win overtimes. If that offense shows up consistently, this team will be hard to beat.
“If not, they’ll have 1,000 yards and 1,000 points”. The Razorbacks then watched kicker Cole Hedlund’s 22-yard field-goal try ping off the right goal post. The Horned Frogs stormed back to take a 28-20 lead with 2:05 to play. It was a bad non-call, and it would have negated the fumble.
While Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy will be second-guessing his last play decision for the rest of this season, Patterson wanted to go for two after Hill’s touchdown. Against TCU’s rebuilt and young offensive line, will the Razorbacks’ defensive front, maybe the No. 1 strength of this team, control the line of scrimmage, harass Hill into mistakes, and provide another edge for the Hogs? TCU’s Gary Patterson squared off against Arkansas’ Bret Bielema once previously as coaches when the Horned Frogs beat Wisconsin 21-19 in the Rose Bowl on January 1, 2011.
At the end of the second half, TCU surged back. The Aztec’s streak is also the second-longest in school history.
Secondly, because there was very little pressure, TCU’s corners were forced to cover receivers for an extended period of time. Go HOGS! We are always proud. Last week versus Louisiana Tech, Allen went 20-for-29 for 191 yards, throwing a pair of touchdowns and interceptions. At some points in the game he looked completely dominant. “We usually finish, that’s what we’ve been doing, that’s one thing we pride ourselves on”.
McFarland, who led TCU in sacks two years ago, returned and had a sack in last week’s victory.

Officials interpreted Hill making a throat-slashing gesture after he scored with just over 2 minutes left in regulation and handed out a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty to the Horned Frogs. That, ultimately, gave Arkansas a short field and an easier chance to come down and tie the game, which they did. It’s an easily misunderstood motion, and therefore needs to be removed from his repertoire.
