TAT: By the Numbers - The Alabama Game and More


These stats were originally compiled for the October 23, 2013 issue of The Arkansas Traveler.

0 - Former Arkansas baseball players on the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox rosters. This will be the first World Series without a former Razorback since 2006. The Detroit Tigers and former Razorback Drew Smyly were eliminated by the Red Sox in the ALCS.
13 - Combined strikeouts by juniors Kasey Fagan and Kimmy Beasley against Oklahoma State in game one of a doubleheader Sunday. Fagan had seven in three innings of work, while Beasley had six in four innings.
2 - Home runs hit by the Arkansas softball team in six games this fall. Junior Devon Wallace hit a grand slam against Butler CC in the first game of the fall season and senior Chloe Oprzedek hit a two-run home run against Oklahoma State in game one of a doubleheader Sunday.
23:12 - Time, in minutes and seconds, it took senior Kemoy Campbell to finish the 8k course at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational Saturday. He finished first out of 288 runners.
3 - Members of the Arkansas women’s cross country team that finished in the top 15 at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational Saturday. Juniors Grace Heymsfield and Shannon Klenke finished sixth and eighth, respectively, while sophomore Dominique Scott finished 13th.
13 - Wins in 16 events by the Arkansas women’s swimming and diving team at its dual meet against LSU Saturday. The Razorbacks won the meet 180-120 and have won 12 consecutive dual meets.
8 - One-goal wins by the Arkansas soccer team this season, after a 5-4 overtime win at Vanderbilt Friday and 2-1 win against Tennessee Sunday. This ties the UA single-season record for most one-goal wins, which was set last season.
98 - Jersey number worn by senior defensive tackle Byran Jones against No. 1 Alabama Saturday. Jones was voted by his teammates to wear the number in honor of senior defensive tackle Robert Thomas, who broke his leg against South Carolina.
21 - Times Arkansas has faced the defending National Champion since 1961. They are 5-16 in those games and have lost by an average score of 31.7 to 14.1.
8 - Times Arkansas has had a losing streak of five or more games in a single season in UA history. The Razorbacks had five-game losing streaks in 1938, 1943 and 1997, six-game losing streaks in 1950, 1952 and 1958 and a seven-game losing streak in 1990.
26.6 - Average margin of defeat during the Razorbacks’ five-game losing streak. That is the largest margin of defeat during a losing streak of five or more games in UA history. The next closest is 20.3 points during the seven-game losing streak in 1990.
46.4 - Team completion percentage for Arkansas so far this season after sophomore Brandon Allen’s 7-for-25 effort against Alabama Saturday. That would be the lowest single-season completion percentage for the Razorbacks since completing 41.3 percent in 1991.
797 - Rushing yards by true freshman Alex Collins through eight games, after he gained 77 yards against Alabama Saturday. That is second in the Southeastern Conference and 12th in the FBS.
