Going into today's game, Taylen Green had six passing touchdowns to his name at Arkansas. After the first half against Mississippi State, he's grown that total by 50 percent.
The Boise State transfer went into the locker room with 195 yards through the air, completing 82 percent (14-17) of his passes for three touchdowns. He rushed for another 66 yards and a touchdown. He's spreading the ball around, too.
Eight players have at least one reception, but none have more than three. TeSlaa leads the pass catchers, but all three of his receptions came on Arkansas's final drive of the half. Last week's Hog of the Week, Tyrone Broden, would have led the team if it weren't for a dumb penalty. He had a great catch and run but lined up in the backfield when he should've been on the line of scrimmage.
Overall, the offense has gained 329 yards of total offense. Unfortunately, the defense is still hemorrhaging yards, giving up 244. However, the Razorbacks benefited from back-to-back questionable calls against Mississippi State. Each would have led to a touchdown, but the Hogs stopped State on fourth down and forced a field goal on the second try.
Arkansas leads Mississippi State 30-10 going into the final 30 minutes.
