Coaches like to say it’s a team effort when their teams come away with a win. On Saturday against Texas, Arkansas coach Sam Pittman would be justified in such a proclamation.
The Razorbacks never made the big play against the Longhorns, but they also didn’t need to. Efficiency was the name of the game in a 40-21.
Dominique Johnson wasn’t the top Arkansas running back in the statistics department, but a pair of heads-up plays helped the Hogs along. AJ Green joined him in the backfield with a big game.
Linebacker Grant Morgan made a triumphant return after being ejected last week against Rice for targeting. Defensive tackle John Ridgeway, in his Arkansas debut, stuffed the lanes and collapsed the pocket all night.
Accordingly, they are Razorbacks Wire’s Players of the Week against Texas.
