Taylen Green came up clutch for Arkansas in the final minute of regulation on Saturday against Oklahoma State.

Green was brilliant throughout most of regulation, but he was especially excellent on the final drive. Of the 48 yards Arkansas gained on the game-tying drive, 41 came through the air. A good chunk of that yardage came on one play — a 33-yard pass to Andrew Armstrong over the middle that gave the Hogs a chance to tie the game.
This contest hasn’t been without controversy. Late in the 4th quarter, officials appeared to miss an encroachment penalty on Arkansas that would have given Oklahoma State a first down. Instead, the Cowboys kicked a go-ahead field goal with 55 seconds remaining — giving Arkansas to respond with a scoring drive of its own.
Green led Arkansas to 10 4th-quarter points, ensuring this game would reach overtime.
Arkansas is looking for its 6th consecutive win over Oklahoma State. These teams have not met since 1980. A win over Oklahoma State in Stillwater would be huge for the job security of head coach Sam Pittman.
