Arkansas 19, Tulsa 15: Dennis Johnson ran for 109 yards and two scores while Cobi Hamilton added 177 yards on 11 catches as the host Razorbacks withstood the Golden Hurricane.
Arkansas (4-5) sealed its 18th consecutive victory in the series with a strip sack and fumble recovery in the final minute. Tulsa quarterback Cody Green, who sat out the team's last game against Rice on Oct. 20 with a shoulder injury, returned and went 22-of-37 for 222 yards but could not rally the Golden Hurricane (7-2), whose seven-game winning streak ended.
Johnson, who rushed for a career-high 161 yards last week against Ole Miss, opened the scoring with an 8-yard touchdown run and added the go-ahead 1-yard plunge in the fourth quarter that gave the Razorbacks a 19-15 lead.
Daniel Schwarz's 29-yard field goal had given the Golden Hurricane a 15-13 lead in the third quarter, capitalizing after Tulsa recovered a fumble. Arkansas' Zach Hocker missed a 26-yarder with 3:35 to play and the Razorbacks nursing the 19-15 edge, and they gave Tulsa the ball back on downs at the Golden Hurricane's 17 with 1:07 remaining.
Alex Singleton added to his school record with his 35th rushing touchdown early in the second quarter while Trey Watts scored on a 29-yard scamper with 2:49 to go as Tulsa pulled within 13-12 at halftime.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Arkansas played without RB Knile Davis (hamstring) and TE Chris Gragg (knee), who were injured during last week's loss to Ole Miss. กญ Schwarz missed an extra point and had another one blocked, and also missed a 42-yard field goal - all in the first half. กญ Tulsa, which entered with an NCAA-high leading 35 sacks, got to Arkansas QB Tyler Wilson only once. กญ Trailing 15-13, the Razorbacks made a fourth-down stop at their 5-yard line.
