NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) --
Zach Hocker kicked a 42-yard field goal with 6:53 left, and eighth-ranked
Arkansas rallied yet again to beat Vanderbilt 31-28 Saturday for the
Razorbacks' fourth straight win.
This was the third time
this season the Razorbacks (7-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) trailed by double
digits. They didn't trail by 18 as they did against Texas A&M or 17 last
week before beating Mississippi. This time, Vanderbilt led by 21-7 with 1:39 left
in the first half.
The Commodores (4-4, 1-4)
also had the ball at the Arkansas 5 in the fourth quarter leading 28-20 when
Zac Stacy fumbled, and Jerry Franklin picked it up and ran it 94 yards for a
touchdown. Tyler Wilson found Jarius Wright in the end zone for the tying
2-point conversion with 13:25 left.
Vanderbilt missed a chance
to force overtime when Carey Spear's 27-yard field goal went wide right with 8
seconds left.
