The Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Bears stood no chance against the Razorbacks in their 45-3 loss on Saturday afternoon in Little Rock Stadium.
ONE HALF WAS ALL IT TOOK
The Razorbacks took off to 45-0 at the half. That was plenty of cushion for them to bring out the bottom of their depth chart in the second half. Arkansas had fun in the second quarter with their first punt return for a touchdown since the 2012 Cotton Bowl. The Razorbacks Nathan Parodi returned an 81-yard punt to the house to put Arkansas up 31-0. Parodi snapped a 116-game punt return TD drought for the Razorbacks.
