CFI: RUN DMC RE-WRITES RECORD BOOKS


Games like this is how legends are born. Darren McFadden played more than 30 snaps at quarterback in the WildHog formation and was effective running, passing and handing the ball off to his teammates. D-Mac connected with fullback Peyton Hillis for a 24-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter and finished with 255 all-purpose yards, setting a new SEC record for all-purpose yards in a season. He also became the first player in the past two seasons to rush for more than 100 yards against the LSU defense, scoring on runs of nine, 16 and 73 yards. "Certainly, he had a Heisman performance today," LSU coach Les Miles lamented. “Tonight, we'll be sick."

CFI: ARKANSAS-LSU GAME NOTES


Hillis finished with four touchdowns and 89 yards, while teammate Felix Jones added an additional 85 yards as Arkansas finished with 385 yards on the ground. The exhilarating game eventually ended with the Razorbacks topping the Tigers 50-48 in three overtimes and walking away with the "Golden Boot," a trophy shaped like the states of Arkansas and Louisiana. LSU linebacker Ali Highsmith did his best trying to stop the Razorbacks, making 15 tackles.
