Getting all defensive

FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas defense will try to roll a rare shutout into another big performance at 11 a.m. Saturday against Vanderbilt.

The Razorbacks dodged two errant Tulsa field goals early, dominated during the middle stretch of the game, then held on to the shutout late after a deep pass to their 14-yard line to thwart the Golden Hurricane 23-0.

"What we have to do now is build on that," said Arkansas defensive coordinator John Chavis, who posted his 15th shutout as an SEC coordinator as the Hogs notched their first in nearly four years.
