FAYETTEVILLE — Houston Nutt, a Little Rock native who led the Arkansas Razorbacks to a 75-48 record in 10 seasons from 1998-2007, was inducted into the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame Tuesday during a ceremony at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Nutt coached in four Cotton Bowls — the first two with Arkansas and last two with Ole Miss — but the Razorbacks' fight song was played during his introduction.
Nutt was 3-1 in Cotton Bowl games. His Arkansas teams beat Texas 27-6 in the Jan. 1, 2000, game and lost to Oklahoma 10-3 in 2002. His first two Ole Miss teams won back-to-back Cotton Bowls, beating Texas Tech 47-34 in 2009 and Oklahoma State 27-6 in 2010.
