Dave Matter's SEC Football Rewind: Arkansas fortunate to survive Bear attack

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Vanderbilt is 3-1 for the first time in five years. Georgia has annihilated everything in its path, outscoring three opponents 130-10. Louisiana State is one play away from being unbeaten. Ole Miss has played defense every bit as well as Georgia and Alabama.

Down in Fayetteville, Arkansas on Saturday night, the Razorbacks were driving their season into a ditch as an FCS visitor controlled the game for more than three quarters of action. And not just any FCS team. These were the Missouri State Bears, led by a man Fayetteville knows well: former disgraced Hogs coach Bobby Petrino, ousted from the Arkansas program more subhed than a decade ago.
