FAYETTEVILLE -- With 10:35 to play in the second quarter, the Razorback Nation had something to cheer for the first time in way too long.
If it hadn't suffered from fumbilitis, Eastern Illinois looked like the better team in the first quarter. Going back to the end of last year, there was little to cheer about for the University of Arkansas against Missouri and Mississippi State.
At that precise moment Saturday, every perspiring fan -- which was the vast majority-- in Reynolds Razorback Stadium let out a cheer that echoed for blocks. Ty Storey had just passed 46 yards to Jordan Jones for a first down.
