FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — In a scoring frenzy that
featured several ties and lead changes, Arkansas
fell 51-50 to Mississippi State at Donald W. Reynolds
Razorback Stadium.
Despite the setback, Brandon Allen turned in
another incredible performance. The senior signal
caller had scoring throws of 20, 5, 9, 3, 39, 10 and 18
yards, and finished 30-of-43 passing for 406 yards,
becoming just the second player in SEC history to
throw seven touchdowns in a league game.
Allen broke his own single-game passing
touchdown record of six that he set earlier this season
at Ole Miss. His seven touchdown passes also gave
him 63 for his career, snapping the school record of
62 set by Ryan Mallett.
Jeremy Sprinkle and Hunter Henry, the SEC’s
leading tight end corps, hauled in five of Allen’s
seven touchdown passes. Sprinkle paced the
Razorbacks with three touchdown receptions while
Henry reeled in two touchdowns on a team-high 129
yards receiving.
Defensively, five Razorbacks tallied eight or
more tackles. Junior linebacker Brooks Ellis had a
career-high 15 stops while sophomore defensive
back Kevin Richardson recorded 10 tackles and made
his first career interception.
