Arkansas dominated most of the game on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Razorback quarterback, Ryan Mallett completed 12 of his 27 passes for 224 yards and one touchdown.
The Razorback defense caused problems for the Gators offense. They sacked Gators quarterback 6 times and caused four turnovers. They also prevented the potent Gators offense from scoring three out of their first four times the Gators were in the red zone.
Arkansas took the lead in the game and held it through out most of the first three quarters. The Gators finally took a 13-10 lead with less than three minutes left in the third.
The Razorbacks came back and took the lead again in the fourth, 20-13. Tebow led the Gators back to tie to score 20 all halfway through the final quarter.
With just minutes to go, Tebow began working his Florida magic. Tebow led the Gators down the field in a 14 play, 69 yard drive to set up a 27 field goal with only 9 seconds left in the game.
Tebow finished the game with 255 yards passing and one touchdown. He also ran for 6 yards. The most important yards were the ones during the final drive. Tebow threw for 30 yards and ran for another 22 yards to set up the winning field goal.
Gators field goal kicker, Caleb Sturgis missed a field goal early in the game. He redeemed himself by making three field goals during the game, including the winning 27 yarder and a 51 yarder in the third quarter.
With the win, the Gators remain undefeated 6-0, 4-0. Arkansas slips to 3-3, 1-3. Florida travels to Mississippi State next week. Arkansas faces Ole Miss at Ole Miss next Saturday.
If the Florida Gators want to win another college football championship this year, they can not struggle like they did in Saturday's game. After beating Auburn last week and playing the Gators hard, the Razorback fans may have something to cheer about for the rest of this season.
