TCU head coach Gary Patterson may have said that Hill doesn’t have one go-to receiver, but if you had to pick any candidate, Williams is by far the frontrunner from what we saw against South Dakota State.

“I was very comfortable today”, said Del Rio, who wasn’t sacked and rarely hurried. “It’s easy to be comfortable when you’re not being touched”. One of those losses was an embarrassing 16-12 loss in Little Rock, Arkansas, to unranked Toledo a year ago.
This is why college football is the greatest sport.
It’s going to be interesting to see what this Razorbacks team is capable of achieving. Kentucky’s last win in Gainesville came in 1979.
“We got beat by three points in overtime”, Patterson said. “So we have got to be prepared for that”. “We have to keep getting getting better, and I think we will as long as we stay healthy”. We’ll get to that. It’s back to work.
The Razorbacks and Aggies clash at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Hurts is the first true freshman quarterback to start at Alabama since Vince Sutton started four games in 1984. And tight end Hunter Henry may have made every big catch for the Hogs past year, but he also learned how to be a stout blocker over the last two-thirds of the season. He was flagged 15 yards for an unsportsmanlike penalty.
Arkansas travels to Fort Worth to renew a rivalry with old Southwest Conference rival TCU.
He was 10 of 24 for 135 yards with an interception after racking up 517 yards in the opener against Rice. They had 80 less yards of total offense, 142 yards to the Horned Frogs 222, but were up 13-0 at the half.
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. This was a tough home loss. Buechele was 22 of 27 passing. The key factor to notice here is that the Horned Frogs only had two down linemen on the right side, the direction Allen would run toward.
The Hogs dominated the playclock, holding onto the ball for 17 minutes and 30 seconds of the first half.
Ole Miss has already struggled with injuries this season. Both are looking to get back on track.
In the meantime, Bielema and defensive coordinator Robb Smith warn that Texas State, 1-0 from beating Ohio University two weeks and having an open date last weekend, can pose problems even faster than quick-tempo no-huddle TCU.
Allen threw for three scores, including a 19-yarder to Jeremy Sprinkle to start overtime.
Hill finished with 377 throwing yards and managed one touchdown to Taj Williams in the first overtime, but was unable to score in the second. Any team that could both run and pass past year rolled TCU – Oregon even led 31-0 at halftime of the Alamo Bowl before deciding it didn’t have to compete in the second half, losing in OT to TCU’s seldom-if-ever-used backup senior quarterback – but the Horned Frogs had the offensive firepower to outscore most people. Allen would make sure that didn’t stand as the final score.
Even with game momentum so obviously tilted towards Arkansas, Hill led a crisp drive to the Hogs 11, with his 12-yard keeper giving the Frogs a first down at the 11.
The 5-foot-9, 153-pound speedster had 295 all-purpose yards, including 126 receiving.

After the Razorbacks (2-0) marched 58 yards in 1:02 to pull to within two points, they deployed a double-reverse pass that found quarterback Austin Allen in the end zone to tie things at 28-28.
