Nelson s interception was the third of his career and marked the third consecutive season he had grabbed an interception. SECONDARY Arkansas started the Ole Miss game with the following defensive backfield: Darius Winston (CB), Eric Bennett (S), Tramain Thomas (S) and Greg Gatson (CB). Tevin Mitchel was named SEC Freshman of the Week following a seven-tackle performance vs. Auburn in his first collegiate start. Tramain Thomas recorded a career-high two interceptions vs. Auburn, tied for the highest single-game total in the SEC this season and tied for the seventh-highest single-game total in school history. Thomas is tied for sixth in the conference with three interceptions this season. Eric Bennett has made an interception in consecutive games. The sophomore made his first collegiate interception as part of a three-interception game for the Razorbacks vs. Auburn and then clinched the Ole Miss victory with an interception on the Rebels final offensive drive. Eric Bennett, Tramain Thomas and Tevin Mitchel rank third, fourth and fifth, respectively, on the team in tackles. Bennett has made 42 stops, while Thomas has recorded 38 tackles and Mitchel has 35. Tevin Mitchel led the Razorbacks with a career-high 13 tackles vs. Texas A&M. The freshman also made the first fumble recovery of his career against the Aggies. Elton Ford tied his career high with 10 tackles, including 0.5 for loss, vs. Texas A&M. Greg Gatson grabbed his first interception this season and the second of his career vs. Texas A&M. SPECIAL TEAMS The Razorbacks have returned two punts and one kickoff for touchdowns in 2011, the first time since 2009 and second time since 2001 Arkansas has returned at least one punt and one kickoff for a score in the same season. UA s three combined kick returns for touchdowns are the most since 1992. Joe Adams and Marquel Wade have combined to give Arkansas 252 punt return yards, the fifth-highest total in the NCAA, in 2011, including a UA-record 188 yards against Missouri State that bettered the previous record of 165 from 1971. Joe Adams is the only player in the SEC and one of three in the NCAA with two punt return touchdowns in 2011. Marquel Wade scored his first touchdown as a Razorback on an 85-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against New Mexico. The return was Arkansas first kickoff return for a score since 2009. Joe Adams leads the SEC and ranks fourth in the NCAA with his 18.1 yards-per-punt-return average, and Marquel Wade s average of 7.9 yards per punt return leads all SEC freshmen and is fifth in the conference. Wade also ranks second in the SEC and 17th in the NCAA with his 29.1 kick return average. Zach Hocker is handling PAT kicks, field goals and kickoffs this season. He is 8-for-10 (.800) on field goals and 32-for-33 (.970) on PATs and has kicked off 49 times, averaging 67.8 yards per kickoff with 20 touchbacks. His touchback total ranks second in the SEC and fourth in the NCAA. His touchback percentage of 40.8 is second in the conference and seventh in the nation. Dylan Breeding has punted 34 times and has an average of 44.7 yards per punt this season, which ranks second in the SEC. He has dropped eight punts inside the 20 and has 11 of more than 50 yards, including his long of 56. Last season, he placed 18 punts inside the 20-yard line and had 10 of at least 50 yards. Joe Adams was named SEC Special Teams Player of the Week on Sept. 5 after he tied an SEC record by returning two punts for touchdowns against Missouri State. Adams became the seventh SEC player, and first since 2002, to return two punts for a touchdown in a single game. Joe Adams broke Arkansas record for single-game punt return yardage against Missouri State with 174 yards, bettering the previous mark of 146 from 1971, on six punt returns. Adams total, which also ranks second on UA s single-game total return yardage list, was the fourth-highest in a game in SEC history and is the highest in the NCAA in 2011. SCHEDULE Arkansas schedule includes games against teams that have won three of the last four national championships (LSU 2007, Alabama 2009, Auburn 2010). Including this year s meeting with Auburn, Arkansas has played the defending national champions 10 times in the last 15 years. With this season s victory over Auburn, head coach Bobby Petrino became the first coach in Arkansas history to defeat multiple defending national champions in his career. UA s 2011 schedule features six teams that were ranked in the preseason AP poll, including three in the top 10, and eight teams that played in a bowl game. The Razorbacks are set to face LSU in the Battle for the Boot on Friday, Nov. 25. The game was moved back to the day after Thanksgiving, where it stood for 13 years before a two-year hiatus in 2009-10, for 2011 and 2012. Arkansas continued its rivalry with former Southwest Conference foe and future SEC member Texas A&M on Oct. 1 when the Razorbacks defeated the Aggies 42-38 in the Southwest Classic held in Arlington, Texas, at Cowboys Stadium. The win pushed UA to 3-0 in the Southwest Classic following victories of 24-17 in 2010 and 47-19 in 2009. The Razorbacks lead the all-time series with the Aggies 41-24-3. Tennessee returns to the SEC schedule as the Razorbacks will meet the Volunteers for the first time since 2007. The two teams last met in Fayetteville in 2006, when No. 11 Arkansas defeated No. 13 Tennessee 31-14 on a day that ESPN s College GameDay originated from campus for the first time. Last season, UA s schedule was one of the toughest in the country. According to the NCAA, the Razorbacks 2010 slate ranked as the second-toughest schedule in the nation. Arkansas faced six ranked opponents and defeated three to tie the school record for most wins against ranked opponents in a season. The Razorbacks beat four teams that were ranked in the top 25 of the final BCS standings. After playing Troy in Fayetteville on Sept. 17, the Razorbacks play only one game on campus until facing South Carolina on Nov. 5 (Auburn, Oct. 8). The 48 days with only one on-campus game is tied for the longest stretch in the SEC this season. Arkansas didn t play its second road game until Oct. 22 at Ole Miss, which was tied with Tennessee for the latest a team in the SEC played its second road game in 2011. The Razorbacks have travled to Alabama and Ole Miss with trips to Vanderbilt and LSU still on tap for this season. The Vanderbilt contest on Oct. 29 will mark Arkansas first trip to Nashville since 2006. ArkansasRazorbacks.com Page 7

The gift will support construction of the hospital s South Wing, set to open in July 2012. To celebrate the Petrinos gift, a family lounge and waiting area in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit will be named in their honor. Made a personal $100,000 commitment to the Razorback Foundation. Petrino s gift is believed to be the largest donation to the Razorback Foundation Annual Fund by a sitting Razorback head coach in school history. Initiated a kickoff luncheon that has been a preseason highlight each of the last three years. The event was attended by more than 1,000 fans prior to the 2011 season. Coach Petrino is the featured speaker and coaches, football personnel and all players attend. Two players sit at each table with fans. Asked to establish a weekly radio show, which is held Wednesday evenings throughout the fall at a local restaurant where fans can attend. Studied and asked for consideration for a synthetic field surface to be installed at Razorback Stadium. The installation began immediately following UA s 2009 spring game and was completed prior to the 2009 season. After reading an article discussing city budget issues, Coach Petrino utilized time that was allocated for team meetings during 2009 spring football to send the entire squad to the city library. The group spent part of an afternoon cleaning, stacking books and visiting with children. Organized a ceremony at halftime that has become a fixture at halftime of the annual Red- White game honoring the senior class from the past season and naming team award winners. He has invited former players back to be a part of it and the following have been on hand: Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, Shawn Andrews, Ken Hamlin, Quinn Grovey and Cedric Cobbs, among others. Has made appearances at several other Razorback sporting events including men s and women s basketball games and baseball, including the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. One area Coach Petrino focuses on is teaching players life lessons. Leadership classes and an etiquette dinner are two examples of the programs Coach Petrino has had players attend in order to prepare them for life beyond football. Page 10 ArkansasRazorbacks.com

GAME 3 SEPT. 17, 2011 FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. DONALD W. REYNOLDS RAZORBACK STADIUM ATTENDANCE: 69,861 TV: CSS #14 ARKANSAS 38 TROY 28 The 14th-ranked University of Arkansas football team earned its third victory of the season with a 38-28 win over Troy inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. The 3-0 start for the Razorbacks is the first time the team has done so in consecutive seasons since 1988-89. UA also got a big receiving night from senior Joe Adams, who totaled 109 yards. Arkansas rode the backs of a strong ground game from Ronnie Wingo Jr., who scored the first two touchdowns for the Razorbacks to give his team the early lead. The junior from St. Louis, Mo., finished the game with a career-high 110 yards on 20 carries. Adams also led all receivers in the game as he totaled 109 yards, a season-high, on eight catches. The Razorbacks got on the scoreboard early needing only five plays off the opening kickoff to get into the end zone. A steady diet of passes and runs eventually saw Wingo scramble 22 yards for the first touchdown of the game with 13:09 left on the first quarter clock. With the touchdown, Arkansas has now scored on the first drive in each of its games this season. UA made it 2-for-2 on touchdown drives to start the game as Wingo, again, scored on a touchdown run, nearly from the same distance. From 21 yards out, Wingo upped his touchdown total to two for the game with six minutes left to play in the first quarter and helped Arkansas jump out to a 14-0 lead. Arkansas almost made it three scores in the first quarter, driving all the way to the Troy 19-yard line before the clock rolled over to quarter number two. Three plays later, freshman Kody Walker took a three-yard rush in for the score to push the lead to 21-0. The touchdown by Walker gives him a teamleading five on the season. Sophomore kicker Zach Hocker added three more points for Arkansas with just under seven minutes to play in the first half. The 22-yard field goal was his third of the season and gave UA an even bigger lead at 24-0. Troy prevented the shutout at the end of the first half as quarterback Corey Robinson completed a three-yard pass to Eric Thomas for the touchdown. The extra point made it 24-7 as both teams went to the locker rooms. After holding Troy to a three-and-out to start the second half, the Arkansas offense scored its fourth touchdown of the GAME STATISTICS game off a six-yard pass from junior Tyler Wilson to Wingo. The score for Wingo was his third of the night, another career high. Troy added on its second score later in the third quarter and inched even closer during the very next possession for Arkansas as Troy defensive back LaDarrius Madden returned an interception 52 yards for the score. The interception made the score 31-21 with 6:12 to play in the third quarter. Possessions were traded into the fourth quarter until Wilson connected with Adams through the air for a 57-yard touchdown. With 14:09 to go in the final period, Arkansas answered Troy s 14 straight points with seven of its own to keep the advantage at 38-21. Troy would get one final score at the end of the game on another Robinson to Thomas pass, this time for 24 yards. Even with the final touchdown, the Razorbacks had the game in hand and took the 38-28 victory.

GAME 4 SEPT. 24, 2011 TUSCALOOSA, ALA. BRYANT-DENNY STADIUM ATTENDANCE: 101,821 TV: CBS #14 ARKANSAS 14 #3 ALABAMA 38 The 14th-ranked University of Arkansas football team fell to third-ranked Alabama 38-14 at Bryant Denny Stadium. The Razorbacks and Crimson Tide matched each other play for play through the first 25 minutes of the game before Alabama took control. An interception return for a touchdown near the end of the second quarter and a punt return touchdown near the beginning of the third pushed the Crimson Tide ahead for good. Alabama drove 80 yards for a touchdown on its first possession of the game as quarterback AJ McCarron connected with tight end Michael Williams for a 37-yard touchdown. Arkansas answered the call later in the quarter, ending a 12-play, 63-yard drive with a touchdown pass from Tyler Wilson to running back Dennis Johnson to tie the game 7-7. The Arkansas defense made its biggest stand of the game with 5:35 left in the second quarter, stopping the Crimson Tide three straight times at the one-yard line to force a field goal that put Alabama ahead 10-7. Arkansas started the ensuing drive at its own 20-yard line looking to take the lead, but Alabama forced a turnover to seize the momentum. Cornerback DeQuan Menzie tipped a Wilson pass into the air, caught it himself, and ran 25 yards for the touchdown to put the Crimson Tide ahead 17-7 with 4:38 left in the second quarter. The Razorbacks got a first down on their second play of the third quarter, but were forced to punt three plays later. That punt, a 42-yard kick by Dylan Breeding, was returned 82 yards for a touchdown by Alabama s Marquis Maze to make the score 24-7. The Crimson Tide added one more score on a short pass to running back Trent Richardson, who ran 61 yards for the touchdown to give Alabama a 31-7 lead. The Razorbacks came back with a score on their next possession when Wilson found wide receiver Cobi Hamilton in the back of the end zone for a 19-yard touchdown. Wilson finished 22-of-35 passing for 185 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. Johnson scored his first touchdown of the season and the first reception touchdown of his career, and also added 105 kick-return yards. Joe Adams recorded a team-high six catches for 37 yards.

GAME 5 OCT. 1, 2011 ARLINGTON, TEXAS COWBOYS STADIUM ATTENDANCE: 68,838 TV: ESPN #18 ARKANSAS 42 #14 TEXAS A&M 38 The University of Arkansas football team stormed back from a 35-17 second-half deficit to defeat Texas A&M 42-38 in the Southwest Classic inside Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Wide receiver Jarius Wright caught 13 passes for a school-record 281 yards, and quarterback Tyler Wilson passed for a schoolrecord 510 yards with three touchdowns to lead Arkansas. Wright and Wilson connected twice during the gamewinning 80-yard drive, including a 31-yard strike, before running back Broderick Green charged up the middle into the end zone to put the Razorbacks ahead 42-38 with 1:41 to play. The Razorbacks defense stopped the Aggies for no gain on a fourth and two with 1:15 to play to force a turnover on downs and ensure the victory. Wright eclipsed the previous Arkansas single game receiving record of 204 yards, set by Mike Reppond against Rice in 1971, before halftime. Wright had nine receptions for 227 yards and a touchdown after just two quarters. Wilson finished the game 30-for-51 with 510 yards and three touchdowns without throwing an interception. The previous passing record for one game was 409, set by Ryan Mallett against Vanderbilt last season. Wilson also set Arkansas individual records for total offense yards with 481 and total individual plays with 57. His 30 completions were a career high. Down 35-17 at the half, it was the Arkansas defense that ignited the comeback. Arkansas forced a Texas A&M three and out to start the third quarter, and Zach Hocker finished a 38-yard drive with a 32-yard field goal. The Razorbacks forced another three-and-out on the next Aggies drive, and yet again drove down the field for a score. Tyler Wilson was 9-for-11 for 78 yards on the drive, which he finished with a 13-yard touchdown pass to running back Ronnie Wingo Jr. to make it 35-27 with 7:29 to play in the third quarter. The Razorbacks tied the game early in the fourth quarter when Wilson connected with Cobi Hamilton for a 15-yard pass which Hamilton fumbled near the goal line. Wright dove on the ball in the end zone and secured possession for an Arkansas touchdown, his second of the game. Wilson scrambled up the middle for the two-point conversion to tie the game 35-35 with 11:00 left to play in the game. Texas A&M broke the tie with a 16-play, 74-yard drive that resulted in a 23-yard field goal by Randy Bullock to put the Aggies on top 38-35 with 4:22 left in the game, setting up the Razorbacks go-ahead drive. Wright s 281 yards were the second-highest single game total in SEC history. His 13 receptions tied an Arkansas singlegame record. Texas A&M scored touchdowns on each of its first two drives to take a 14-0 lead less than seven minutes into the first quarter. Arkansas responded for its first score when Wilson found Wright for a 68-yard touchdown strike with 2:26 left in the first quarter. Texas A&M responded with another score to make it 21-7 but Green pushed into the end zone with a one-yard run with 9:09 left in the second quarter to make it 21-14. Zach Hocker knocked in a 26-yard field goal with 3:05 left in the second quarter, but the Aggies scored just before intermission to make it 35-17.

GAME 6 OCT. 8, 2011 FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. DONALD W. REYNOLDS RAZORBACK STADIUM ATTENDANCE: 74,191 TV: ESPN #10 ARKANSAS 38 #15 AUBURN 14 The University of Arkansas football team earned a 38-14 win over Auburn at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. The team rode the coattails of a strong defense that tallied three interceptions and kept the Tigers scoreless after the first quarter. Tyler Wilson paced the offense for the Arkansas, throwing for 262 yards on 24 completions and connecting with four different receivers. Of those four Razorback receivers, all caught at least three passes and totaled at least 40 yards. Wilson also completed 18 consecutive passes between the first quarter and third quarter. 74,191 fans witnessed an Arkansas team improve to 5-1 on the season, its best start under head coach Bobby Petrino and only the third 5-1 start since joining the SEC. The Razorbacks scored their first touchdown of the game on the back of a six-yard touchdown run by Broderick Green, which tied the game at 7-7 after Auburn took the early lead. The series went 71 yards in eight plays to tie the game at seven with 6:53 to play in the first quarter. The Tigers scored again before the end of the first quarter, but Arkansas continued to keep pace as the team, again, scored on its very next possession. With a good mixture of Wilson passes and runs by Green and Dennis Johnson, the Razorbacks tallied six more after a one-yard plunge into the end zone by Wilson. The drive lasted 13 plays for 80 yards and saw the Arkansas quarterback connect with three different receivers for 49 yards in the drive to tie the game at 14-14 with 9:36 to go in the half. Late in the first half, the Arkansas defense was able to make a strong stand, giving the offense the opportunity to take its first lead of the night. On the next possession, Wilson methodically drove the Razorbacks down the field and gave them the advantage after a leaping touchdown catch by Jarius Wright from five yards out. With 4:23 still to go in the first half, Arkansas was up 21-14. The second half started out with a few traded possessions before Arkansas struck again. This time, Joe Adams got in on the mix with an exhilarating 92-yard touchdown run, his first rush of the night. The run was the longest in school history by a wide receiver and the second longest in school history by any player. Green holds the record with his 99-yard touchdown run against Eastern Michigan in 2009. With the points, UA held a 28-14 lead with less than eight minutes to play in the third quarter. The Razorback defense came up big in the second half, tallying three interceptions to kill Auburn drives. The second was picked by Tramain Thomas off a Barrett Trotter pass and returned to the Auburn 26-yard line. Arkansas turned the good field position into three points courtesy of a 36-yard field goal by Zach Hocker. With the added three points, UA held a 31-14 lead with 12:10 to play in the game. Thomas came up with the good hands again with back-toback interceptions, this time coming with just over seven minutes to play. He ended up returning it to the Auburn 16-yard line. Arkansas needed only three plays to get in the end zone from there as Wilson did a nice job scrambling in the pocket and evading the blitz to find Johnson, who ended up taking the ball 18 yards for the touchdown.
