Tulsa Drops Nonconference Matchup at Arkansas
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Arkansas' defense earned its first shutout since 2014, and the Razorbacks held Tulsa to 12 yards in the third quarter on their way to a 23-0 victory on Saturday.
The game ended a six-game losing streak for Arkansas (2-6) and marked the first win for freshman quarterback Connor Noland, who started in place of the injured Ty Storey.
After a first-drive interception, the Arkansas native settled down and led the offense alongside running back Rakeem Boyd.
Boyd carried the ball 22 times for 99 yards before he came out of the game early in the third quarter. The Arkansas rushing game racked up 196 yards and opened up the passing game for Arkansas' inexperienced gunslinger.
