If the wheels on Arkansas' season hadn't already fallen off, they did Saturday in Starkville, Miss.
Quarterback Nick Fitzgerald and the Bulldogs offense, averaging just 11 points per game in Southeastern Conference play entering today's game, hammered the Razorbacks 52-6 on Senior Day.
Mississippi State had not scored more than 28 points in any league game prior to Saturday.
But a hapless defense like Arkansas' was just what Fitzgerald needed. In his final game in Davis Wade Stadium, the SEC's all-time leading rusher at the quarterback position combined for five touchdowns – four through the air – in the blowout win.
