2012 Cotton Bowl (#6 Arkansas vs. #8 Kansas State) *remastered*

[@KDdesignsTV]

Arkansas was undoubtedly the 3rd best team in the nation this year. Only losses were away losses at LSU and Alabama.

[@ryanjenkins7023]

if memory serves, the only time Bama was beating us in that game was the last minute and a half....

[@WARMACHINE2013]

Ethan Jenkins No, they won 38-14. It was 17-7 at half thanks to a pick-six and fake field goal. They also got a punt return for a TD in the second half.

We bout to run it back with BMFP.. bout to give em Hell on da Hill!#WPS🐗

[@hunchburnem9002]

Razorbacks had the best receivers in the nation that year without question. Adams, Wright, Hamilton, Childs, throw in Gragg at TE. They were fun to watch.

[@rickleasure]

The future was so bright that night. What a great team! Excited to see if Coach Pittman and Briles can generate some offense for the first time in a long time.

[@andyandyandy5781]

What are your thoughts after the Texas win?

[@rickleasure]

@@andyandyandy5781 I think we're headed in the right direction. After just a couple off-seasons the coaching staff has developed and recruited some really talented players on both sides of the ball.

[@rickleasure]

@@church-e-drummer Hope springs eternal in June, but I was at the Arkansas-Missouri game last year and it was...really bad.

[@gianna01michelle]

I remember telling my sister that lives in Kansas to tell any of her friends that were Kansas state fans. That the Razorbacks were going to have Kansas state mild cats for dinner. Lol.

[@TorchTaylor21]

I miss this team so much

[@cheston.rothfus]

So weird to think how good we were such a short time ago.

[@Fan4doanumber1]

Tyler Wilson had so much heart for the game ♥️

[@MikeFox__FoxMan2099]

Honestly one of my favorite wins, that game was as big as a BCS game that year. That was a really good KSU squad but we're a different animal.

[@Texan1981]

Yes sir, Arkansas took care of the Big 12 champs no problem!

[@METALFACEDOOM441]

I'm about to play this matchup on Ncaa football 14. Great upload! #GoHogs

[@EazyE-501]

Ahhhhh the nostalgia from the first Bobby Petrino era! I actually went to high school with DE Jake Bequette too -- although he was just a very tall, lanky freshman when I was a senior at Catholic High here in Little Rock (class of 2004). VERY glad to have Petrino back at UA as offensive coordinator now though, and it was refreshing to see the Razorback offense hitting on all cylinders a few days ago, regardless of it being against UAPB or anyone else. Managing a 70-0 rout of ANY opponent in modern CFB is an incredible accomplishment. Not to mention the fact that Arkansas now holds the record as the only team in CFB history to score touchdowns on every possession of their season opener, and it's been 20 years since any team scored TD's on their first 10 possessions. That's a tremendous accomplishment considering how many teams open their season with 'cupcake games' like UAPB. Obviously we won't know much about this team until next Saturday against Oklahoma State in Stillwater, and once we see some week-to-week consistency. There's no question we've got some phenomenal talent on this team, but realistically I see us finishing 7-8 wins at best considering the difficulty of our schedule yet again. We may not have the toughest schedule in the country, as we did in the previous three seasons, but it's easily among the most difficult with a total of seven opponents in the preseason Top-25 (five of which are Top-15 or better). We'll see how it plays out tho! #WPS

[@travonkitt8163]

I know this is crazy . I’m a real big auburn fan but, Bobby petrino era with that multiple offense was top tier . I love sitting back and watch them play, you’ll never see anything like that again.

[@michaelnewton1332]

If there was a CFP in 2011, there is a really good possibility the SEC might have gotten three teams in. Alabama, LSU, and Arkansas. The incredible thing about Arkansas in 2011 was it didn't have a bona fide superstar. That team was a whole that was greater than the sum of its parts.

[@shchorss]

I'd consider Joe Adams a superstar. Dude was the second coming of DeSean Jackson

[@_gamepoint_]

If you watched that year, it was wright. He compared nicely to Robert woods or broyles who were both biletnikoff award finalist that year.

[@CodyR2767]

Such a fun team to watch

[@kevinshorland7993]

If I were to build the ultimate Razorback team using members from any year, half would be from this year. I lived blocks away from Donald Reynolds' field for years and can still remember the cheers

[@zackschooley5858]

Bobby Petrino and his offense is back!!!

[@benmoore1533]

I cant belive how good our defense was!!

[@tyler9953]

You know you're deep at WR/TE when Cobi Hamilton is your 3rd/4th option.

[@MidnightVentures]

Damn this was a good Arkansas team. Wish our defense had that much intensity and power and speed this year in 2022. Unfortunately Arkansas isn't even close to that level of defense. Barry Odoms' 3 man rush never yeilded that many sacks.

[@WARMACHINE2013]

We led the SEC in sacks this season and were two shy of the program record set in 1998. That 2011 defense was okay, but it wasn't as good as you remember.

[@rzbkfan190]

Great video.

[@austinteutsch]

What made this team so great was they took a kneel way ahead with 5 seconds left on the K-State 10 yard line. Too bad Texas A&M didn't have that much class when they ran up the score also ahead. SPORTSMANSHIP is what class is all about.

[@JRC_86]

Ahhhh...the good ole days. Sigh.

[@richardsims7840]

i'm starting to feel like this never actually happened and we've always been dogshit

What Makes This Game More Exciting Was Gus Johnson Was Calling This One

[@watchmaninthehitower]

Just got throttled at home by an inferior auburn. Pulled this up to see what's possible and what had been

[@ozarkansas]

Does anyone remember how biased these commentators were towards k-state?

[@WARMACHINE2013]

They were borderline depressed by that last pick by Jerico.

[@Desstrik]

In every game ever commentators are biased against Arkansas.

[@charlielaird775]

I don't remember that, but I do remember looking at the KState message boards prior to the game and they were giving the Hogs zero respect. It surprised me because this UA team was really good but the fans of an over-hyped Wildcat team were treating them as an afterthought. I also remember getting extremely nervous after the blocked XP.

[@raiyansy34]

I remember how cocky K-State fans were before this game. We played like a C grade game and still cruised by 13. Damn shame we couldn't play in a BCS bowl.

[@WARMACHINE2013]

It was bizarre how arrogant they were. They were running their mouths before the Liberty Bowl, too.

[@toddcunningham3213]

@@WARMACHINE2013 To be fair, we were actually ranked #1 for about 8 seconds in 2012, until Baylor beat us 55-0. Lol!

[@WARMACHINE2013]

Lol yea, I remember watching that one. KSU still won the Big 12 that year though. Snyder did a remarkable job there.

[@sandmanvvs4121]

2023 PETRINO IS BACK

[@davidsloan9556]

Man I hope he can rekindle that offensive firepower. I know they are catching a lot of flack over lost recruits. The thing to me is the Austin ledbetter move from pitcher to QB. He is an almost clone of Tyler Wilson from the film I've saw. Perfect QB for a Petrino offense. Of course it's a wide open competition but this guy has the tools to run bps offense

[@garyadams2822]

That’s how it’s done

Exactly I hope saam is smart enough to let bp run HIS offense. This ledbetter move is very intriguing to me. Watching film he is very similar to Tyler Wilson. Going to be interesting to see who comes out on top.

[@spliceoncharlie]

Go Hog"s!!!!

[@Duckman501]

I’ll never forget how much smack talk K State threw around before that game. That was a rare year when the Hogs had a QB.

[@robertgrider3055]

Are you sure this isn't fake? I mean, an Arkansas defense pressuring a qb and getting sacks? C'mon man :)

[@shchorss]

yeah fr. Always remembered the Petrino Razorbacks as being offense first, defense second, but the defense in 2011 was cracked.

[@_gamepoint_]

@@shchorss our front 7 was good. It was our DBs that couldn't play the ball in the air to save their lives.

[@catoni13]

Kline was god awful. That 8 ranking was a joke.

[@davidsloan9556]

The Arkansas defense came to play that night. If they had played like that all year it would have been a natty. But, they totally blew it during the regular season. Cool to look back at the Petrino years and see when we were actually relevant. Hoping he can rekindle that same offensive firepower as the OC .

[@tonyduff7054]

Guess who's back? Back again Guess who's back Guess who's back? Now this looks like a job for me. We need a little controversy. Because it fills so empty without me.
