Arkansas

CENTURY MARK - RUSHING X2 In last week's game at Tennessee, the Razorbacks had two players rush for 100-plus yards in the same game for the 38th time in program history when Alex Collins had 154 rushing yards and Rawleigh Williams III totaled 100 yards on the ground. It was the first time Arkansas had two players rush for 100-plus in an SEC game since Nov. 3, 2007 against South Carolina.

BACK-TO-BACK 100-YD RECEIVING Junior wide receiver Drew Morgan became just the ninth player in school history to record back-to-back 100-yard receiving games with 155 receiving yards vs. Texas A&M and 110 at Tennessee. It was the first time a Razorback accomplished the feat in consecutive SEC games since Marcus Monk.

DEFENSE STEPPING UP Arkansas has limited four of its five opponents to their lowest scoring outputs of the season. The Razorbacks allow just 22.4 points per game despite playing three of the top 30 offenses in the nation and have allowed 13.2 points per game less than their opponents' season average.

One of just six teams nationally that have allowed two sacks or less this season.
