How high did Hogs jump in AP poll after first SEC win?
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – After a big win over No. 23 Cincinnati last week followed by a convincing win over South Carolina, Arkansas has jumped into the Top 10 of the Associated Press poll for the second straight year.
The last time this happened was the 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons. Arkansas reached highs of No. 8 in 2010, No. 3 in 2011 and No. 8 in 2012. The Hogs would go on to finish No. 12 overall in 2010, No. 5 in 2011 and unranked in 2012 after the failed John L. Smith experiment.
Since Bobby Petrino was the last to officially pull off this feat, it’s only fitting that he roll into Fayetteville a week after Sam Pittman replicated his success.
Eight SEC teams make up the Top 25, including four in the Top 10. Georgia takes over the No. 1 spot after the embarrassing showing by Alabama down in Austin.
Of course Bama being Bama, aided by a poor first half by Ohio St. against Arkansas St., only fell one spot to No. 2 in the poll.
Kentucky edges out Arkansas with a big win over Florida in The Swamp to claim No. 9, while the Razorbacks round out Top 10 SEC representation at No. 10.
One of the biggest jumps in the poll is from BYU. The Cougars knocked off No. 9 Baylor in Provo in overtime in the early Sunday morning hours and were rewarded with a No. 12 ranking. Anyone who had the energy to stick around until the end of that game is now keenly aware of how penalties could greatly affect the Razorbacks’ visit in ways previously only felt when visiting Alabama, Texas and occasionally Auburn.
Ole Miss crushed Central Arkansas, which was enough to hold off the Longhorns for a Top 20 spot. The pollsters, as they often do, rewarded Texas for its name and for once again losing by blasting them out of the “Others Receiving Votes” designation, all the way up to No. 21.
That’s right, a team that is 2-6 over its last eight games was rewarded fairly equally to Florida beating No. 7 Utah for a close loss at home.
Texas A&M narrowly avoided the Notre Dame treatment of being dumped from the Top 25 after Jimbo Fisher’s anemic offense continued its low productivity trend against an Appalachian St. team that should have two Power 5 wins under its belt.
The Aggies were pounded into submission by the Mountaineers’ running game into a free fall from No. 6 to No. 24.

LIVE BLOG: Hogs blow South Carolina away in fourth quarter
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas poured it on South Carolina in the fourth quarter of a 44-30 win at Razorback Stadium.
It was the SEC opener for the Hogs and a wild final period.
Arkansas safety Jalen Catalon was not on the field with the other captains for the coin toss, which the Razorbacks won and defered to the second half.
First Quarter
1Q 6:42: Arkansas thinks it can just pound the ball down South Carolina’s throat and mix in the occasional passing play. Based on the Razorbacks’ first drive there may not be a whole the Gamecocks can do about it, either. The Hogs drive 63 yards in 13 plays, throwing just two passes for 25 yards to set up Raheim Sanders’ 1-yard run. Hogs 7, South Carolina 0
1Q 3:32: Gamecocks answer with Spencer Rattler missing a bomb down the field when he underthrew a wide open receiver, but then completed a 43-yarder to MarShaw Lloyd out of the backfield. The Hogs’ defense stiffened inside the 20, though, and SC settled for a 28-yard field goal Mitch Jeter. Hogs 7, South Carolina 3
The first period ends with the Hogs dinking and dunking their way down field, now mixing in some short passes with the running game. South Carolina’s defense doesn’t seem to have an urgent desire to stop either one and balances the pass defense with little rush and inability to cover.
Second Quarter
2Q 14:28: Raheim Sanders took a sweep wide to the right and no Gamecock defenders could get close as he jogs into the end zone from 11 yards out Hogs 14, South Carolina 3
2Q 8:13: After shutting down South Carolina, the Hogs offense gets a couple of big runs from Malik Hornsby on sweeps to start, then use 12 plays to drive 61 yards before a 1-yard run by Rashod Dubinion start to open things up a bit. Hogs 21, South Carolina 3
2Q 2:56: Gamecocks’ offense finally gets organized enough to put together an 11-play, 70-yard drive with running back MarShawn Lloyd getting the last seven with little resistance, but then miss the extra point and they still aren’t in double digits. Hogs 21, South Carolina 9
End Half: Arkansas couldn’t get anything else before half, but kicker Cam Little came close on a 50-yard field goal attempt and will get the ball first in the second half. If the Gamecocks can’t get anything going quickly in the second half this one will be over fairly quickly
Third Quarter
3Q 8:51: South Carolina has apparently come to life in the third quarter and have found something they want to try to exploit with Arkansas missing two starting safeties. Spencer Rattler completes a 62-yard scoring pass to Antwane Wells, who was wide open over the middle got one block and nobody touched him to the end zone. Shane Beamer decides to not chase lost points midway through the third quarter and kicks the point-after. Hogs 21, South Carolina 16
After not getting points on some big plays due to holding calls, Hogs driving on Gamecocks’ 1.
Fourth Quarter
4Q 14:55: KJ Jefferson sneaks across for the score on the first play of the final period and now it’s going to be up to the defense. Hogs 28, South Carolina 16
4Q 12:09: Jefferson gives the Hogs a big lead after the defense forces a fumble cornerback Hudson Clark recovered. He found Warren Thompson wide open in the end zone and hit him for a 23-yard scoring play and a big lead. Hogs 35, South Carolina 16
