TAT: By the Numbers - The Texas A&M Game and More


These stats were originally compiled for the October 2, 2013 issue of The Arkansas Traveler.


3 - Margin of victory in Arkansas’ shutout victory at No. 14 Kentucky Friday. This is the largest margin of victory over a ranked opponent in the women’s soccer program’s history. The Razorbacks’ only other wins against ranked opponents were a pair of one-goal wins versus No. 18 Kentucky and No. 16 Missouri last year.

.375 - Batting average by freshman outfielder Clark Eagan during the baseball team’s red-white series. His average was higher than any other player to appear in all seven games. He also led both teams with nine RBIs and 12 total bases.

1.93 - Earned run average by freshman right-handed pitcher Alex Phillips during the baseball team’s red-white series. His ERA was lower than any other pitcher with at least seven innings pitched. He allowed only two earned runs in 9.1 innings, while giving up four hits, two walks and striking out two.

0 - Matches lost by sophomore Kimberly-Ann Surin at the Colorado Invitational. Surin was the only member of the Razorbacks’ women’s tennis team to go undefeated at the event and won her flight’s championship by finishing 3-0.

2003 - The last year Arkansas’ volleyball team won its first two Southeastern Conference games, before they swept Ole Miss and Mississippi State on the road to open SEC play 2-0.

320 - Total offensive yards gained by Texas A&M sophomore quarterback Johnny Manziel Saturday. That is his lowest total in a game he started all season and his lowest in a start since Oct. 20 against LSU last season.

4 - Times true freshman running back Alex Collins has rushed for over 100 yards. Collins had 116 rushing yards against Texas A&M Saturday.

5 - Times Darren McFadden rushed for over 100 yards in 2005, his freshman season. That is the UA record for 100-yard games by a freshman.

7 - Field goals made by senior kicker Zach Hocker. He is tied with three other kickers for the most field goals made without a miss this season. His 53-yard field goal against Samford is the longest made by any of the 13 kickers with a 100 percent success rate this season.

2-2 - Bret Bielema’s all-time record as a head coach when coaching a game played in the state of Florida. He led Wisconsin to victories over Arkansas and Miami (FL) in the 2007 Capital One Bowl and 2009 Champs Sports Bowl, respectively, and losses to Tennessee and Florida State in the 2008 Outback Bowl and 2008 Champs Sports Bowl, respectively.

2-9 - Arkansas’ all-time record in games played in the state of Florida. Their two wins came against Georgia Tech in the 1960 Gator Bowl and Oklahoma in the 1978 Orange Bowl. Of their nine losses, three were against Florida in Gainesville, one was against Miami (FL) in Miami and five were in bowl games.
