No. 12 Arkansas beat Georgia 31-24 at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga. on Saturday.

Junior quarterback Ryan Mallett got his first Southeastern Conference road win, throwing for over 300 yards for the second game in a row. Mallett finished the game 21-33 for 380 yards and three touchdowns. He had been 0-4 against the SEC on the road.

“This is a really surreal feeling,” Mallett said. “It’s something I’ve never experienced before.”

Mallett’s first touchdown pass of the day, a 57-yard pass to sophomore tight end Chris Gragg, came with 12:27 left in the first quarter. The grab was Gragg’s first catch of the day and first of the season.

The Bulldogs answered right back when freshman quarterback Aaron Murray scored from the one-yard line with 7:49 left in the first.

Georgia’s next punt was returned by junior wide receiver Joe Adams for a touchdown, but a block-in-the-back penalty nullified the score.

The drive did end up in points however.

Sophomore running back Knile Davis’ one-yard touchdown run capped a seven play, 71-yard drive run, putting Arkansas up 14-7.

Arkansas’ last drive of the half also ended with points.

Freshman Zach Hocker’s field goal with four seconds left put the Hogs up 17-7.

Coming out of halftime, Arkansas kept rolling when Murray was intercepted by junior Tramain Thomas at Georgia’s 44-yard line on the first play from scrimmage.

But Arkansas was unable to take advantage of the short field. Mallett quick-kicked into Georgia’s end zone for a touchback.

Three drives later, junior kicker Blair Walsh’s 43-yard field goal with 2:44 left in the third made the score 17-10.

The Hogs scored on their next possession when Mallett connected with sophomore running back Ronnie Wingo for a 22-yard touchdown pass with eight seconds left in the third quarter, making it 24-10 Arkansas.

The drive was kept alive by an Adams’ 34-yard screen pass on third-and-eight. Adams finished the game six catches for 130 yards.

“I thought we did real well in the third quarter,“ head coach Bobby Petrino said. “When they scored, we responded by scoring as well.”

Georgia scored on back-to-back drives in the fourth quarter to tie the game.

The first score, a 10-yard touchdown catch by sophomore wide receiver Tavarres King, came with 7:52 left, and then with 3:55 left, sophomore running back Washaun Ealey’s three-yard touchdown run tied the game 24-24.

“It was a hard football game,” Petrino said. “They came back in the second half.”

Both teams then traded punts, and Arkansas took over at its own 27-yard line with 47 seconds left.

The offense marched 73 yards in three plays to pull ahead 31-24. Senior tight end D.J. Williams caught Mallett’s first two passes for 33 yards, then junior wide receiver Greg Childs caught the touchdown – a 40-yard strike with 15 seconds left in the game.

“We were able to execute our two-minute offense and score to win the game,” Petrino said.

Murray’s Hail Mary with five seconds left fell incomplete in the end zone.

“This has got to be one of the greatest moments I’ve felt since I’ve played the game of football,” Mallett said. “It so rarely comes down to the wire like this. It’s sometimes gone the other way for us, but now I know how it feels to get the win.”

Arkansas is 3-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play. Their second conference game is Saturday when no. 1 Alabama travels to Fayetteville.

“It’s going to be loud in Fayetteville next week,” Adams said. “We’re going to come with our best game.”
