But the Arkansas defense holds after giving up only one first down, and the Frogs punt to the Arkansas 37.
I'm going to comment on the Arkansas defense, because they are taking an approach that we never see in the Big XII. In the Big XII, to be honest, I don't understand what the defenses are trying to do, but whatever it is, it doesn't work. The offenses just zip up and down the field with almost no obstruction. Arkansas, on the other hand, actually has a plan to deal with Texas Christian's high-powered attack. They have a good defensive line, and so they are able to get good pressure with just four people. Then the rest of the defense basically acts as a sort of umbrella to make sure that no one can break a long run after they catch the ball. If the Razorbacks can get one play where they hit Texas Christian for a loss, then their solid tackling can make it very difficult for Texas Christian to get the big yardage they need for a first down. And that's why Texas Christian has been stopped so many times tonight.
