VIDEO: Alex Collins rips off 84-yard touchdown as Arkansas runs all over Texas Tech
Arkansas only passed for 61 yards Saturday and still earned a 49-28 win over Texas Tech. That's because the Razorbacks put forth a dominating effort on the ground, rushing for a ridiculous 438 yards and seven touchdowns.
Alex Collins led the way for Arkansas, running for a career-high 211 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including an 84-yard gallop in the fourth quarter that put the Razorbacks up by 21.

Collins wasn't the only member of the Arkansas backfield to have a massive day on the ground, as Jonathan Williams put up 146 yards and added a career-high four rushing touchdowns. The junior running back had previously had no more than one touchdown in a game.
The Razorbacks' rushing attack was so potent quarterback Brandon Allen only attempted two passes in the entire second half, completing one for 12 yards.
The victory was a big step forward for Arkansas, giving the Razorbacks their first victory over a team from a Power 5 conference since 2012 and their first back-to-back wins in more than a year.
