Portland State added a late touchdown and had a drive to pull out a win at the end, but Arkansas’ defense came through for a 20-13 win in the opener at Razorback Stadium.

4Q-10:44: The offense got close, but stalled deep into Portland State territory before settling for a 25-yard field goal by Connor Limpert.

3Q-2:20: After nearly two full quarters of pretty ugly offense, the Hogs finally got moving behind Ben Hicks with running back Rakeem Boyd carrying the load late in a 67-yard, 12-play drive that ended on his 2-yard run. Limpert kicked the PAT for a two-score lead.

Arkansas struggles offensively as they squander a pair of opportunities in the second quarter and bog down moving the ball, but hold a 10-6 lead at halftime.

Nick Starkel replaced Ben Hicks at quarterback late in the period and promptly threw an interception to end one drive, then couldn’t get into the end zone on the final possession of the half.

2Q-14:07: Portland State ended the first period getting a fresh set of downs and ended up with a 47-yard field goal by Cody Williams to cut into the lead after an 11-play, 45-yard drive.

1Q-3:26: Arkansas’ defense stops Vikings without a first down, then move 64 yards in 10 plays with running back Devwah Whaley getting the first score of the season on a 1-yard run and Limpert’s extra point runs the lead to 10-3.

1Q-9:40: Hogs answer opening field goal with one from Connor Limpert, from 34 yards as Ben Hicks completes 3-of-5, including a 12-yarder to freshman Treylon Burks and an 8-yarder to Mike Woods.

1Q-13:09: Portland State gets on the board first with a 50-yard field goal by Cody Williams, taking the opening kickoff, getting a penalty and moving 42 yards in six plays, primarily on a 22-yard scramble by quarterback Davis Alexander.
