After two extremely frustrating losses, Arkansas got to take out some frustrations on New Mexico State, beating them 42-24. The offense cruised all game, racking up 494 total yards. Austin Allen finished 19-26 for 264 yards and three touchdowns. The stable of running backs finished with 230 yards. Chase Hayden found the end zone twice Devwah Whaley scored as well.
New Mexico State’s offense, specifically quarterback Tyler Rogers, found a rhythm in the game, but Arkansas kept them off the scoreboard the first three drives. That was enough to allow the offense to give the Hogs a comfortable lead throughout the whole game.
