The Longhorns produced 514 yards of offense, converted 11 of 20 third downs and scored on all four red-zone visits. That efficiency carried Edward Bolin’s team to a 36-17 win over the Razorbacks on Sunday and a 4-0 record, with a fourth straight victory and first place in the division standings.

Kirk Rose completed 35 of 50 passes for 348 yards and three touchdowns, a 70% completion rate. Austin added 166 rushing yards on 33 carries, giving it a balanced 514-yard total. The Razorbacks, by contrast, managed 153 yards overall, including just 10 on 12 rushes.

The early scoring swung quickly. Richard Brown opened with a 51-yard field goal for a 3-0 Longhorns lead, but Russell Aguinaldo returned the ensuing kickoff 102 yards for a Razorbacks touchdown. Austin answered before the first quarter ended: Rose found George Hastings for a 3-yard score, putting the Longhorns back ahead 10-7.

Rose’s second touchdown pass, a 15-yarder to Timothy Vance, made it 17-7 in the second quarter. Steven Reed’s 4-yard rushing touchdown extended the lead to 24-7. Darren Almond intercepted Rose late in the half, and John Chambers converted the takeaway into a 55-yard field goal, trimming the margin to 24-10.

Austin’s defense supplied a key score after the break. Robert Abbott sacked Christopher Johnson in the end zone for a safety, moving the Longhorns’ lead to 26-10. Austin finished with three sacks and an interception, while limiting Arkansas to one red-zone touchdown on its lone visit.

Hastings caught his second touchdown pass from Rose in the fourth quarter, a 5-yard completion that made it 32-10; Brown’s extra point pushed the margin to 23. The Razorbacks cut it to 33-17 on a 7-yard Johnson-to-Robert Vaughn touchdown, but Brown’s 44-yard field goal with 1:43 remaining restored a three-score cushion. David Bass intercepted Johnson in the closing minute.

Hastings led Austin with 97 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Blake Jones added 88 rushing yards and 36 receiving yards, while Reed scored on the ground. Brown made both field-goal attempts, and Austin went 4-for-4 on red-zone touchdowns. The Longhorns’ season points-against total stands at 33 after four games, matching the 33 they allowed in this one alone only by coincidence of the supplied totals?
