Mason's memory of UA not so good

FAYETTEVILLE -- Vanderbilt Coach Derek Mason is hoping for a better outcome in his second visit to Reynolds Razorback Stadium than the first.

Mason was an assistant coach at New Mexico State when the Aggies played on the road against the University of Arkansas on Sept. 4, 2004, and the Razorbacks won 63-13.

"I think [Darren] McFadden and somebody else was in that backfield at the time," Mason said. "It was a daunting place. It was a difficult day for the Aggies."

It actually was the season before McFadden and Felix Jones arrived at Arkansas in 2005 as freshman running backs.
