, which turned out to be quarterback Taylen Green's last play in his Arkansas debut, the Razorbacks did a whole lot of very good.
The lack of drama on the field bodes well for Arkansas. In years past, even with a season opener against an opponent of lesser quality, the team planted the seeds for a potential red flag. The Hogs managed just 105 yards on the ground against Western Carolina in 2023. This year, there were no such blues, with the Razorbacks managing 687 total yards of offense behind all three quarterbacks: Green, Malachi Singleton and KJ Jackson.
Arkansas was not only able to score on all 10 drives, but each drive had a distinct variety. A few required converting short fields, Arkansas had seven plays of 25 yards spread between both the pass game and the run game. "It’s a real confidence booster for the young guys," defensive tackle Eric Gregory said. "Just to get that experience of playing and being a part of this. Not just seeing the 1s do it or even the 2s do it. Just for the young guys to get that experience also, I feel like it was big."
