Two good things happened on Saturday related to Arkansas football: first, no one got hurt in the game; and second, four teams ranked ahead of Arkansas in the AP poll lost, allowing the Hogs to move to 16th for this week.
There was also a football game. Arkansas beat Alcorn State 52-10 in a game that, from an advanced stats perspective, doesn’t really tell us anything. Allowing 313 yards of offense to a bottom-tier FCS school is bad, but then again, Alcorn State had just 12 yards of offense in the first quarter as Arkansas took a 24-0 lead.
