No. 2 Texas not overly impressive, but grinds out win over Hogs with basic stuff in fourth quarter
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — In the end Arkansas couldn't take advantage of No. 2 Texas' lack of interest. Put whatever spin to feel better, but that's exactly what happened in the Longhorns' 20-10 win Saturday afternoon.
"You can't play the third-ranked team in the country and lose in turnovers 2-0 and win," Hogs coach Sam Pittman said, referring to their ranking in the polls. "Texas is just as good as we thought they would be." The net result is the Longhorns won't get any style points and Arkansas fans can talk about "what-if" on too many plays to count. The bottom line is they couldn't make the plays on offense or defense when they needed to for a win.
The final blow was when the defense had to get that stop on a 4th-and-2 and couldn't get off the field. It was a snapshot of the whole game. That's what championship teams have. In the end this will be nothing but a 10-point win over the Razorbacks. The Hogs will have enough "what-if" moments to use that as a crutch in explaining away the final result.
