A slow-ish start for Arkansas turned on a dime in the second quarter.
Three plays after KJ Jefferson’s touchdown pass to Tyrone Broden gave the Razorbacks the lead against Florida International, Arkansas added to it.
Arkansas safety Al Walcott ripped the ball from the hands of FIU wide receiver Dean Patterson at the Panthers’ 33 and took the ball back the other way for a touchdown, giving the Hogs a 21-13 lead with 10:53 left.
Walcott, in his first year with Arkansas after transferring from Baylor, entered the game fourth on the team in tackles with 50 and had one interception. The touchdown was his first.
Arkansas entered the game as four-touchdown favorites, but hasn’t won at home since Week 2.
