Allen sets season highs in Arkansas win

[Scott Marshall]

Senior quarterback Austin Allen passed for 264 yards and three touchdowns, and Arkansas gained 494 yards in a 42-24 victory over New Mexico State at Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Ark., on Saturday.

Allen completed 19 of 26 passes. The Razorbacks (2-2) scored touchdowns on six of their first seven possessions.

New Mexico State (2-3) trailed 28-7 with 1:34 left in the second quarter but got a 27-yard field goal from Dylan Brown on the final play of the half. The Aggies opened the second half with an 80-yard touchdown drive, capped by a 9-yard pass from Tyler Rogers to O.J. Clark, to cut Arkansas' lead to 28-17 with 11:21 left in the third quarter.

Arkansas responded with a 16-play, 63-yard drive that used 8:50 of game clock. Allen finished the drive with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Jonathan Nance. New Mexico State fumbled away the ensuing kickoff at its own 22 to set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Arkansas freshman running back Chase Hayden on the first play of the fourth quarter for a 42-17 lead.

Pretty impressive considering he finishes every play on his damn back. That oline needs kicked in the nuts.

My thoughts also.
