  Draft Scout by Conference









  Texas hasn't considered Arkansas to be a rival for a long time. Judging by the goal posts coming down Saturday night and with the Longhorns set to join the Southeastern Conference soon, that won't last. Arkansas ran for 333 yards, held Texas to 256 yards of total offense and the Razorbacks beat their former Southwest Conference nemesis 40-21 on Saturday night. The ninth-largest crowd in Arkansas history, 74,531 strong, was jubliant all night and many of them stormed the field afterward, celebrating their team's first win over Texas in Fayetteville since 1981.

Arkansas coach Sam Pittman was the Razorbacks' offensive line coach the last time they played Texas in the 2014 Texas Bowl. He credited his former unit for the big night. Arkansas was 120th in FBS last year in sacks allowed. "Isn't that something? (Offensive line coach Cody Kennedy) comes in in June and we rush for 333 yards," Pittman said. "He's got some really hard-working kids. They took a lot of heat in the past and will, I'm sure, some in the future. But the way they played, to rush for 333 against a good Texas squad is outstanding." The Razorbacks led 16-0 at halftime as Texas was dominated from the beginning. The Longhorns (1-1) punted on six of their first seven drives. Their seventh resulted in a missed field goal. "This was not a performance I was anticipating," first-year coach Steve Sarkisian said. "But we'll find out about ourselves and what we're made of, because I really believe this one games not going to define us. But we've got work to do, that's for sure." - Arkansas/AP College Football
