On Saturday, Arkansas took care of business at home — as it dominated No. 11 Florida by a score of 31-10.
Running back Rawleigh Williams III had himself quite an afternoon. The Texas native rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries.
Defensively, the Razorbacks’ front seven held Florida to 12 rushing yards on 14 carries. Arkansas thoroughly dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
Head coach Bret Bielema addressed the media after the contest:
Bielema: three keys: 1. swing first, be aggressive, 2. play together, 3. Flowers spoke to team about being hungry. Guys responded.

Arkansas defeats Florida, becoming bowl-eligible. That gives coach Bret Bielema a $50,000 bonus.

Bret Bielema says Arkansas had full-padded practices all week to prepare for this game; typically doesn't do full pads every day.
