FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – Arkansas appeared on its way to a big early season victory over No. 15 TCU following a pedestrian debut and a year after a stunning Week 2 loss to Toledo.
Then the Razorbacks looked like they had let the victory get away. And finally, they walked off with their fifth win over a ranked opponent as an unranked team since 2014.
Quarterback Austin Allen ran 5 yards for the winning score in the second overtime, and Arkansas pulled out a wild 41-38 victory over the Horned Frogs on Saturday night, snapping a 14-game TCU home winning streak that ranked third nationally.
“The scars of the past are great reminders of what you want to accomplish in the future,” said coach Bret Bielema, whose team beat Louisiana Tech 21-20 at home to start the season.
“Our guys have been scarred. We’ve lost some close games, stubbed their toe a little bit early on. But this group’s always said, ‘You know, why not us?'”
