Thanks to Greg Brooks, the University of Arkansas scored on an interception return for the first time in four seasons. The defensive score came on Mississippi State’s first possession of Saturday night’s game at Davis-Wade Stadium.
Brooks, a sophomore nickel back, intercepted a K.J. Costello pass on second and 7 and returned it 69 yards for a touchdown to give Arkansas a 7-0 lead with 11:44 left in the first quarter.
The last time a Razorback had a pick-six was a 24-yard return by Santos Ramirez in Arkansas’ 31-10 victory over No. 11 Florida in Fayetteville on Nov.
