Despite a decent drive by Arkansas late in the third quarter that ended in a three yard touchdown run by Darren McFadden, Arkansas has been their own worst enemy in the second half. From the fumble by Felix Jones after a 40 yard pass completion, to the Casey Dick interception returned for a touchdown by Missouri, to the interception by Adrian Davis that he promptly fumbled, to the Peyton Hills catch and fumble, Arkansas is showing us what it means to properly screw the pooch. As Bobby Petrino watches, he has to be asking himself why all the fumbles. Dang, I can't even finish this post without Arkansas messing something else up. With another Razorback drive stalling, the punt coverage team gets a fifteen yard penalty for interfering with the chance to catch the kick. Give credit to Missouri for playing a good game and knowing when to step back and watch Arkansas implode. Oh yeah, Missouri needs all of one play to make Arkansas pay with a 40 yard touchdown run by Tony Temple. This makes it 38-7 in favor of Missouri.
The score might change between now and then, but this one is over. For Missouri they cap one of the best seasons in school history with a dominating performance that should catapult them into a high ranking next year and an eye on their next game with Oklahoma. For Arkansas they really have to wonder who they are. Are they the team that ran all over then number one LSU or are they the team that couldn't get out of their own way today? Will the hire of Bobby Petrino help to stabilize this team into more consistent play, or will the sine wave roller coaster continue full steam ahead?

I am a big Mizzou fan but I will say this,regardless of today,even though he still ran for 100 yards,not shabby by other standards,Mcfadden is a can't miss in the pros,the man will be bad,trust me. BTW,my Tigers deserved to be in a bigger game,but thats the breaks when you lose twice to the same team.

i doubt any pro team will run their offense to suit just one player like arkansas did with mcfadden. i'm glad he didn't break a finger nail or anything in the cottom bowl that might hurt his chances in the nfl! mcfadden and nutt's leftover coaches punked the fans. woo pig soooiei!! go razorbacks!!
