Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green and the Razorbacks weren’t able to pull off an upset of Ole Miss in Week 3.
But it wasn’t for lack of trying on the part of the 5th-year player. He threw for 305 yards and a touchdown while running for 115 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries as the Razorbacks fell to the Rebels 41-35.
That ran Green’s total to 1,173 scrimmage yards, the highest total in the country.
Breaking it down, Green has averaged 391 yards per game. Through the air, he’s averaging 307 yards per game. And on the ground, he’s putting up 102.3 yards per game.
In addition, Green has 11 touchdowns for Arkansas, 1 of them coming against Ole Miss. That’s tied with Texas Tech QB Behren Morton.
After starting his career at Boise State, Green transferred to Arkansas ahead of the 2023 season. In 2024, he threw for 3,154 yards and 15 touchdowns while adding 602 yards and 8 scores on the ground. Through 3 games in 2025, he’s just 4 passing scores shy of matching his 2024 total.
Though the Razorbacks came up a little short against the Rebels, they’ll look to get back on track on the road against Memphis in Week 4.
