Arkansas 35-14 Louisiana Tech (Nov 23, 2024) Game Summary

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Taylen Green threw two touchdown passes and ran for two more in leading Arkansas to a 35-14 victory over Louisiana Tech on Saturday.

The Razorbacks’ win enabled the bowl game, marking the fourth time in coach Sam Pittman’s five seasons that the team has reached that threshold.

Green and the Arkansas (6-5) offense took control in the second quarter after registering just 25 yards in the first. He led a 13-play, 80-yard drive to open the scoring with 5:54 left in the half, and on the Razorbacks’ next drive, turned it into a 41-yard touchdown on 4th-and-3 to give Arkansas more than enough.

Louisiana Tech (4-7) didn’t gain more than 20 yards on a single drive until late in the third quarter, when Evan Bullock found Eli Finley for a 42-yard drive for the Bulldogs’ first score. The touchdown came only after a field goal penalty wiped out an Arkansas interception five plays earlier.

Green, who completed 20-of-37 passes for 221 yards and ran for 61 yards on six carries, scored his second rushing touchdown on the Razorbacks’ next possession. Bullock added another passing touchdown on a 20-yarder to Jimmy Holiday midway through the fourth quarter for Louisiana Tech’s final score.

In his last home game, Isaac TeSlaa caught both touchdown passes, his only two catches of the game. Ja’Quinden Jackson scored the game’s final touchdown on a 13-yard rush with 3:01 left.

Big picture
