It was a beautiful night for football.
Temperatures called for a light wrap, and there was no rain in the air.
Humidity wasn’t even 20%.
And the air was very thin.
The day before, your trusty scribe had to be helped off of Pikes Peak, a mountain that was scaled twice years ago in the Pikes Peak half-marathon.
At the start of the fourth quarter, the University of Arkansas led 27-17. The Hogs had just scored two third-quarter touchdowns and racked up 168 yards of offense.
Then they hit the wall with a mighty thud.
