Arkansas made a game of it, but it was too late to overcome a terrible first half against Liberty.

Saturday wasn’t a game to remember in the minds of Arkansas’ fans.

The Razorbacks lost to No. 23 Liberty, 21-19, in a game in which they were a near two-touchdown favorite. Bowl eligibility and an assured .500 season remains one win away.

Arkansas made a game of it late, Trey Knox’s five-yard touchdown grab and Rocket Sanders’ two-point conversion making the game 21-13 with 7:42 left. Knox caught another touchdown with 1:11 left to pull Arkansas within two.

But KJ Jefferson’s two-point conversion was stuffed at the goal line and the Flames ran out the clock.

The Razorbacks dominated the second half, but it was too late. Liberty scored all three of its touchdowns in the first half and won despite fewer than 80 yards of offense in the final half-hour of the game.

Liberty held Arkansas to just 144 yards rushing, 100 fewer than its season average.

The Hogs host No. 10 in Week 11.
