The Razorbacks followed up their overtime upset of TCU with a much easier time against Texas State, taking care of business against the Sun Belt hopefuls in a contest that was effectively over by halftime. Austin Allen completed 16 of his 21 attempts for 241 yards and a pair of touchdowns, Rawleigh Williams III added another 121 yards and two scores on the ground, and Bret Bielema’s team would have had the shutout if not for allowing the Bobcats to kick a field goal on the opening drive of the third quarter. In the end Texas State managed to amass just 105 yards of offense all day.

Arkansas still has plenty to prove, but they’re in good position to threaten in a deep SEC West this season. The Razorbacks host Texas A&M next weekend in a showdown between teams hoping to make waves in the division this year, and they get the next four weekends at home before heading to Auburn on October 22.
