McFadden has big first half; Arkansas routs North Texas 66-7
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Darren McFadden rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns - all in the first half - to lead Arkansas past an overwhelmed North Texas 66-7.
The Razorbacks (2-2) snapped a 2-game losing streak, gaining 507 yards in the first half.
The Mean Green (0-4) are still winless under new coach Todd Dodge, who appears to have a substantial rebuilding project on his hands at what was once the Sun Belt Conference's top program.
North Texas lost its season opener at Oklahoma 79-10. Arkansas appeared headed for a similar point total before slowing down in the third quarter. The Razorbacks led 45-7 at halftime.
North Texas' defense actually held on Arkansas' first drive, but a penalty on a punt gave the Razorbacks a first down. They went on to score on that possession - and on each of their next four.
