State) is just what the doctor ordered for a late season surge.A bowl game now is just one win away and almost a lock. And with each successive win, the quality of the bowl game improves. The Razorbacks are obviously more talented on offense than Troy And the defense is improving Last week, South Carolina scored two touchdowns. One was from an Arkansas turnover that gave South Carolina the ball on the Arkansas 30 when Arkansas failed to convert a fake punt. The second was a botched secondary coverage coming right out of halftime. Arkansas is not going to try many fake punts from their own 30 yard line so giving the short field is not a regular occurrence. 
So the only play of concern that really "drew blood" from South Carolina was the long pass play. For a defense that has been anything but stellar, that's good news.On a statistical note, Arkansas currently ranks No. If you had told me before the season that Arkansas would win all of those categories, I would have gladly taken that.
