Arkansas Opens Season with a Boom

The Razorbacks opened their 2009 season last night with a 48-10 victory over a Missouri State in Little Rock. It was all over at War Memorial when Dennis Johnson returned the opening kick for a touchdown. Arkansas also set a school record with a total of 447 passing yards, with Ryan Mallet completing 17 of his 22 passes for 309 yards and a touchdown, and backup quarterback Tyler Wilson completing 13 of his 19 passes for 138 yards and a touchdown. Senior London Crawford caught 2 passes for 44 yards before hurting his shoulder in the 3rd quarter. The Razorbacks next game is against Georgia on September 19.
