Highlights of the 2012 Cotton Bowl between the #6 Razorbacks and #8 Wildcats. Arkansas would win 29-16 in the first meeting between the two programs since 1967. The victory gave the Hogs an 11-2 record and #5 final ranking, both the 11 wins and Top 5 finish were the first since 1977. This was the 12th Cotton Bowl appearance for Arkansas, which is third most all-time. This was also the Razorbacks first Cotton Bowl win since a 27-6 rout of Texas in 2000.

Kansas State finished the season 10-3 and #15.

    Arkansas was undoubtedly the 3rd best team in the nation this year. Only losses were away losses at LSU and Alabama.
  • @hunchburnem9002
    Razorbacks had the best receivers in the nation that year without question. Adams, Wright, Hamilton, Childs, throw in Gragg at TE. They were fun to watch.

    The future was so bright that night. What a great team! Excited to see if Coach Pittman and Briles can generate some offense for the first time in a long time.

    I remember telling my sister that lives in Kansas to tell any of her friends that were Kansas state fans. That the Razorbacks were going to have Kansas state mild cats for dinner. Lol.

    Honestly one of my favorite wins, that game was as big as a BCS game that year. That was a really good KSU squad but we're a different animal.

    I know this is crazy . I’m a real big auburn fan but, Bobby petrino era with that multiple offense was top tier . I love sitting back and watch them play, you’ll never see anything like that again.

    You know you're deep at WR/TE when Cobi Hamilton is your 3rd/4th option.
  • @MidnightVentures
    Damn this was a good Arkansas team. Wish our defense had that much intensity and power and speed this year in 2022. Unfortunately Arkansas isn't even close to that level of defense. Barry Odoms' 3 man rush never yeilded that many sacks.

    If there was a CFP in 2011, there is a really good possibility the SEC might have gotten three teams in. Alabama, LSU, and Arkansas. The incredible thing about Arkansas in 2011 was it didn't have a bona fide superstar. That team was a whole that was greater than the sum of its parts.

    If I were to build the ultimate Razorback team using members from any year, half would be from this year. I lived blocks away from Donald Reynolds' field for years and can still remember the cheers

    What Makes This Game More Exciting Was Gus Johnson Was Calling This One

    Does anyone remember how biased these commentators were towards k-state?
