The 2008 South Carolina game has been added to the database. After improving each week during the second half of the season The Razorbacks seemed to take a step back vs South Carolina. Ellis Johnson’s Defense held Arkansas to a net 54 yards rushing (including -30 for the sacks on Casey Dick).
On a positive note Bobby Petrino’s offense is spreading the ball around - 10 Razorbacks caught balls, the highlight was was Jarius Wright’s 70 yard touchdown reception in the 2nd quarter. Saturdays game brings the Hog’s 2008 record to 4-6 and forces us to win our 2 remaining games to become bowl eligible. I wouldn’t clear the calendar for New Years just yet though… While we have a great shot to beat Mississippi State next Saturday we then meet LSU in the rock the day after Thanksgiving. LSU played #1 Bama into overtime this weekend and all but erased any hope I had for the hogs to repeat last years win in Baton Rouge.
After a great start this year I haven’t been able to add any more games to the passing yards chart on Hog Database until tonight. Casey Dick threw for 385 yards and completed 25 of 38 passes with 1 pick and 1 Touchdown today vs Tulsa. It turned into a close finish with Casey throwing an interception on his last pass that would have put us ahead by two touchdowns and given him the single game passing record. Oh well… were just happy to get a win.
Dick fell only 2 yards short of tying Clint Stoerner’s record of 387 yards which he threw against LSU in the final game of the Danny Ford Era.
Here is the complete list of all Arkansas Quarterbacks with 250+ yard games.
Sure we’ve had some close games recently, so I’m a little biased… But this should have been a no call. You decide.

Vaught-Hemingway Stadium has been added to HogDatabase. The Razorbacks have played 8 games in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, the first of which was in 1928. Since joining the SEC Arkansas is 3-3 when playing on the Ole Miss home field, but lead the series while at home because of the 1928 and 1955 wins. Overall Arkansas does lead the series at 30-24-1 (0.545) which is now in it’s 100th year.
Ole Miss began playing at Vaught-Hemingway in 1915 after a 3 year building effort. The stadium’s capacity is 60,850. The highest attendance was in November 2003, when the Rebels lost to the LSU Tigers. The official attendance was 62,552
Eventually all of the stadiums Arkansas has played in will be added to the database. It’s a slow process of checking through dates and histories to verify that the games were actually played there. We do our very best to make sure everything is 100% accurate, but if you find a mistake please let us know. We’re currently working on a feature that will allow you to search through games by stadium, city, state, results, etc. We look for the search feature to be available by the end of the season.
Thanks for leaving me with nothing to work with coach.

Yesterday’s Arkansas vs Ole Miss game has been added to the database. This game makes our 2008 record 3-5 with 4 games remaining. The game was close at the end after Arkansas recovered the onside kick, but the hogs wern’t able to overcome a bad Offensive pass interference call that kept us from getting in Field Goal range.
It all ended with a friendly meeting at mid field.
Interesting tidbit from the 1908 football season…
Arkansas and William Jewel were originally scheduled to play a game on October 24, 1908 in Fayetteville. William Jewel “having canceled over Arkansas’ protest” was replaced on the schedule by Henderson College. Arkansas beat Henderson by a score of 51-0.
The 1908 season schedule will be updated soon to show the canceled game.
The Tulsa football stadium has been added to the database. Arkansas played Tulsa in H.A. Chapman Stadium 18 times between 1930 and 1952. During that time Arkansas won 7, lost 9, and tied 2 games on the Hurricanes home field. Since 1952 all 39 games have been played in Arkansas and the Hogs have run up a total of 35 wins with only 4 losses. The last loss to Tulsa came in Frank Broyles’ last season - 1976.
The 2008 Arkansas vs Kentucky box score has been added to the database. That brings Arkansas’ 2008 record to 3 wins and 4 losses. The Wildcats win gives them a 4-2 lead over the Razorbacks in the Kentucky vs Arkansas series.
