When Razorbacks Interim Head Coach Reggie Herring (who took over for Houston Nutt who resigned shortly after their win over LSU)shared press conference time with Missouri Head Coach Gary Pinkel, he had that deer in the headlights look about him and most of his answers started with "I have to echo Coach Pinkel’s thoughts…"  Gary Pinkel and his staff outclassed Herring one more time, this time where it mattered, in the 72nd Cotton Bowl with a 38-7 win.

The story of the game was simple.  Tony Temple, set a Cotton Bowl record with 281 yards rushing and four rushing touchdowns.  Credit Arkansas’ defense, they dropped nine, sometimes ten defenders into the secondary taking away many of Chase Daniels passing opportunities (12-29, 136 yards, 1INT), but shame on them for publicly admitting that they were not giving much focus in practice to Missouri’s rushing game as they allowed 323 total rushing yards on 43 carries.

Missouri’s defense saved their best game of the season for today, holding Heisman runner up Darren McFadden to just 105 yards on 21 carries, and Felix Jones, who was averaging 9.1 yards per carry to just a 4.5 average and 45 yards.  This by far was the hardest I’ve seen Missouri hit and tackle as they forced 5 fumbles, recovering four of them, plus William Moore picked up his record 8th interception of the season and ran it in 26 yards for a 28-0 Missouri lead in the third quarter.

Arkansas could never take advantage of their opportunities when they had them.  Several examples, first on the opening drive, they moved deep into Mizzou territory and needed to settle for a 36 yard field goal attempt by their freshmen kicker Alex Tejada who sent the ball sailing wide to the right by at least 10-15 feet would miss two on the day.  Several false start penalties and then there was the fourth and five they faced at Missouri’s 35 in the first quarter when they ran a reverse out of punt formation and caught Mizzou off guard and got a first down.  However, they called timeout before the play and had the first down negated.  Instead of trying to punt and force Missouri deep, or just go to McFadden, they tried another fake after the timeout and got stuffed.  The day could pretty much be summed up when Chase Daniel got picked off by defensive Adrian Davis and was racing down the sideline, when Daniel threw his body at Davis and knocked the ball loose with Missouri recovering the ball back.

Late in the game, Tony Temple, who has filed an appeal for one more year of eligibility had tweaked his hamstring, but was 36 yards away from the Cotton Bowl record for rushing yards, had one more run in him as he raced up the middle, spun and carried a tackler into the endzone to give him a 40 yard touchdown run and secure two records with that run.

The Tigers sent a message that they shouldn’t have been snubbed by the BCS with this impressive win.  Congratulations on a great season.
