64 days until Razorback Football: Today we remember the 1964 Championship Team

In the 7th season under legendary head coach, Frank Broyles, Arkansas won their first and only National Championship in 1964 voted by the FWAA.

The 11-0 Razorbacks defeated top ranked Texas 14-13 in Austin enroute to the championship. An 81-yard punt returned for a touchdown by Ken Hatfield set the tone early for Arkansas. While Ronnie Cavness tallied 25 tackles from his linebacker position.

The Razorbacks pitched 5-straight shutouts against Texas A&M, Wichita State, Rice, SMU and Texas Tech.

During the postseason, Arkansas won the 1965 Cotton Bowl over Nebraska to finish as the only undefeated team in college football.
