FAYETTEVILLE — Exactly 123 years ago to the day the Arkansas football team shut out Louisiana Tech, it looked for much of Saturday’s game like the Razorbacks might do it again. Ultimately the Bulldogs scored twice, but Arkansas’ defense shined in a 35-14 victory at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

Taylen Green threw two touchdown passes and ran for two more in leading Arkansas to a 35-14 win over Louisiana Tech on Saturday. The Razorbacks’ win clinched bowl eligibility, marking the fourth time in coach Sam Pittman’s five seasons the team has reached that threshold.

It was an ugly start for the Arkansas football offense, but the defense answered the call, holding the line until the Hogs eventually broke through for the win.
