Despite missing a myriad of starters — WR Jahan Dotson, LT Rasheed Walker, DE Arnold Ebiketie, DT Derrick Tangelo, LB Brandon Smith, LB Ellis Brooks, S Jaquan Brisker, and CB Tariq Castro-Fields — the Nittany Lions kept it close with Arkansas for a while. But in the end, the Razorbacks pulled away, winning XX-XX.
It was a sloppy game to start. Both KJ Jefferson and Sean Clifford threw first quarter interceptions that stalled offensive drives as the defenses starred in the first half. Arkansas was first on the board though, punching in a three-yard run as zeroes struck on the first quarter.
