It’s game day, people. Let’s have a blast!

8:47 p.m., 31-21 Hogs — Alex Collins scores his first touchdown as a Hog on a 2-yard blast, standing up. Collins then gets his first “celebration” penalty to boot because he went up to the stands along with teammates pushing him after the score. That is a joke of a call. Count on the SEC officials to make it, though. Collins has become the first freshman in Arkansas history to rush for more than 100 yards in his first two games. He has 150 yards.
8:44 p.m. — Alex Collins showing us the speed the and moves to put the Hogs in the red zone. A 55-yard run, his longest so far as a Razorback.
8:43 p.m. 24-21 Arkansas — Samford still hasn’t turned the ball over, and Arkansas can’t afford another one on top of the 2 it already has. The Hogs aren’t going to be anybody with a minus-3 turnover margin. Anybody. Not even Samford.
8:39 p.m. — Outstanding play by linebacker Braylon Mitchell on the swing screen pass to the left flat that, with Brandon Lewis’ tackle, stopped the Bulldogs drive in three plays at the Bulldogs’ 36. That was the quickest read on a key play that I’ve seen from the UA linebackers. Arkansas takes over after the punt at its 26.
8:37 p.m. — Not sure I’ve seen such a line-drive kickoff like the one Hocker just hit. Talk about outkicking your coverage. Truss is able to take it back out to the 31. Arkansas’ maligned defense is now on the clock.
