Texas Christian 0 - 13 Arkansas (Halftime)

SEC fans pride themselves on the hard-nosed football played in their beloved conference.  But the last three times the SEC has played for the UCFC, their teams looked old and slow compared to the high-powered Big XII offenses, and they lost all three games.

In the first half tonight, however, Arkansas was able to control Texas Christian.  The Horned Frogs did not get their usual easy touchdowns.  Arkansas wanted to make Texas Christian fight for every yard.  And even though Texas Christian has 222 total yards -- to only 142 for Arkansas -- the Frogs have not yet been able to score.  Furthermore, Texas Christian was hurt by two devastating turnovers -- a fumble at the Arkansas 4, and an interception that turned into the only touchdown of the game so far.

Nevertheless, Texas Christian only needs two touchdowns to take the lead, and they get the ball to start the second half.  Their defense is playing well, and the Frogs usually play much better in the second half.  So this game is far from over.
