FAYETTEVILLE — When graduate transfer defensive tackle John Ridgeway announced in April that he was transferring from Illinois State to the University of Arkansas, other offers he turned down included Texas, Michigan, Penn State, Iowa and USC.
The Longhorns no doubt wish Ridgeway had been on their side last Saturday at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
Ridgeway led the defensive line with six tackles, including a sack of quarterback Hudson Card for a 5-yard loss, as Arkansas beat Texas 40-21.
Card was sacked three times among the Razorbacks’ 10 tackles for losses totaling 25 yards.
“We just wanted to go out there and dominate,” Ridgeway said.
