Arkansas Snaps Long Losing Streak With Decisive 34-6 Victory Over Tulsa

Arkansas beat Tulsa 34-6 in Fayetteville, earning its first win over the Golden Hurricane since 1976, snapping a 12-game losing streak against FBS opponents and improving to 2-2. KJ Jackson passed for 309 yards and a touchdown and ran for two scores, while Chris Marshall had nine catches for a career-high 195 yards and his first touchdown of the season. Arkansas led 16-0 at halftime after holding Tulsa to 56 yards; Tulsa scored once early in the third quarter, but the Razorbacks answered immediately and pulled away as the Golden Hurricane later lost two fumbles. Arkansas went 7-for-7 in the red zone, scoring touchdowns on three trips, and Max Gilbert tied a school record with four field goals. The win gave Arkansas a lift before its game at Texas A&M.
Chris Marshall’s 195 receiving yards were the seventh-highest single-game total in Arkansas history.
Arkansas controlled the first half with 18:01 of possession, while Tulsa had 39 penalty yards on six infractions—nearly as many yards as its offense produced.
Despite the win, Arkansas’ first-half ground game remained limited: the Razorbacks had 72 rushing yards on 21 carries, with KJ Jackson’s 10-yard touchdown run their only particularly effective run.
