What. A. Game. That’s really all that can be said. Arkansas vs. Auburn will forever go down in history books as one of the greatest overtime games for the Razorbacks football program. With the big win, the Hogs position themselves very nicely for a run at making a bowl game, and maybe spoiling a season for a team or two. That remains to be seen. But let us bask in the light of this weekend’s shootout in Fayetteville.
The Arkansas Razorbacks have played in some of the best overtime games in college football history. Did we always win them? No, but the Hogs are 7-1 in overtime games that go into 3 or more overtimes. That’s the kind of stat you really have to love a team to know.
Nobody does overtime like the Arkansas Razorbacks. Of course, since the arrival of Bret Bielema, the Hogs WERE 0-3 in OT, but not anymore. This game was truly one of the most entertaining of the season. Free football is always great.
So where does this Auburn’s game rank amongst the Razorbacks’ best overtime performances in the the new millennium? We got some stiff competition; Arkansas vs. Alabama 2003, Arkansas vs. Tennessee 2002, or the two 7OT games vs. Kentucky and Ole Miss? Just how many of these games involved Matt Jones? Let us take a stroll down memory lane. Here are the top 5 overtime games of the new millennium!
