STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Rawleigh Williams ran for 205 yards and four touchdowns and also threw for a touchdown to lead Arkansas over Mississippi State 58-42 on Saturday night.The Arkansas offense did just about anything it wanted against Mississippi State, gaining 661 total yards. The 5-foot-11, 203-pound Williams was easily the Razorbacks biggest star, running for touchdowns of 72, 42, 7 and 33 yards -- all in the first half.The holes were huge, Williams said with a wide grin. It just felt like I was running straight. I didnt have to do too much.Then to top off his big night, Williams took a handoff in the third quarter and stopped short of the line of scrimmage before jumping in the air and tossing a 1-yard touchdown pass to Austin Cantrell.Arkansas coach Bret Bielema enjoyed watching Williams touchdown pass, but it was a strong stiff arm during his 42-yard touchdown that slammed a Mississippi State defender to the ground that really caught his attention.He played with a little bit of a chip on his shoulder, Bielema said. Played with a purpose.Arkansas (7-4, 3-4 Southeastern Conference) broke a four-game losing streak to Mississippi State. Austin Allen completed 18 of 25 passes for 303 yards and two touchdowns for the Razorbacks.Mississippi State (4-7, 2-5) had a big night on offense as well.Nick Fitzgerald ran for 131 yards and four touchdowns and also threw for 328 yards and two touchdowns, but the Bulldogs could never hold the Razorbacks long enough to climb back into the game after falling into a 38-14 hole by halftime.Mississippi State receiver Fred Ross caught 10 passes for a career-high 171 yards and two touchdowns.But all those big numbers didnt matter because the Bulldogs defense couldnt make a stop.We missed tackles, had some bad fits, didnt execute clean, Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said. When you give up that many yards its not one thing. Its several things.UP NEXTArkansas: The Razorbacks have a quick turnaround before playing at Missouri on Friday.Mississippi State: The Bulldogs have a road game against rival Mississippi in the Egg Bowl.Teppo Numminen Jersey .

We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check.AUSTIN, Texas -- Across the East Texas triangle that connects Austin, College Station and Houston, most everybody is happy with their favorite teams college football coach after the first weekend of the season.Tom Herman has Houston Cougars fans thinking College Football Playoff.Charlie Strong gave Texas Longhorns supporters not just a signature victory against No. 10 Notre Dame -- his words -- but an offense and a quarterback that finally look as if they can compete in the Big 12.Sure, maybe Texas A&M followers left Kyle Field a little frustrated that the Aggies blew a fourth-quarter lead, but a win against a ranked team in overtime is no reason to raise the heat on coach Kevin Sumlins seat.Such is college football in the Lone Star State this year: an almost weekly referendum on the coaches at Texas and Texas A&M, while the sports current boy genius roams the sideline for a non-Power Five school that has a chance to become the story of the season. Two coaches facing pivotal seasons and their possible replacement within reasonable driving distance.For now, things are looking up for Strong. A year after getting humiliated 38-3 at South Bend, Indiana, by the Fighting Irish, the Longhorns beat No. 10 Notre Dame 50-47 in double overtime on Sunday night.Our fans really needed that, said Strong, who got a hug from Gov. Greg Abbott as he left the field and a Charlie! Charlie! chant from a smattering of students who hung around just to see the coach run through the tunnel.Weve been down for so long and people have been talking about us. It was a night for us to make it right. At least for one game, for one game.Strongs standing with fans wasnt great after two seasons, an 11-14 record and an offense that seemed to be trying to reinvent itself weekly. A third straight losing season would probably mean the end of the Strong era in Austin.To fix the offense, Strong hired former Baylor assistant Sterlin Gilbert to install the Bears spread offense. And he handed the keys to freshman Shane Buechele. The 18-year-old passed for 280 yards and a couple of touchdowns against Notre Dame. He throws a beautiful deep ball, and Texas has receivers who can run them down and backs to take advantage of the room that the stretched out field provides.The Longhorns beat Oklahoma last season, but that turned out to be only a temporary respite. Texas would later be shut out by Iowa State on the way to 5-7.Everybody knows this years different, said senior quarterback Tyrone Swoopes, who scored three touchdowns, includding the winner, in his new role as short-yardage quarterback.dddddddddddd We just got a lot of senior leadership. Weve got a lot of young guys, but they play a lot bigger than they are.Strong needs the kids to come through. A small step forward might not be enough for him if Herman is pushing the Cougars toward a playoff berth with an American Athletic Conference team.In 15 games at Houston, Herman, a former grad assistant for Mack Brown at Texas, has become one of the rock stars of college coaching. Hes media savvy and media friendly -- a quarterback whisperer with a diamond grill . He has Urban Meyers blue print, Rich Rodriguezs offense and Vince Vaughns coolness.What I have noticed about him is hes got an incredible ability to relate to 18-22 young men and push them harder than I think theyve ever been pushed before and at the same time, give them a lot of love, Houston athletic director Hunter Yurachek.Houston raised Hermans salary to $3 million after last season when he turned down overtures from South Carolina, and Herman gets $5 million if he helps get Houston into a Power Five conference. But Yurachek knows the next suitors to come calling for Herman could have a lot more to sell than South Carolina did.Theres just certain jobs that are premiere jobs in our industry, Yurachek said Sunday, a day after No. 15 Houston beat No. 3 Oklahoma 33-23. I would not fault Tom for taking a look at those jobs.Is Texas A&M one of those jobs? Maybe. Maybe not. But many Aggies certainly believe it to be, which is why Sumlins 37-16 overall record and 17-16 mark in the Southeastern Conference in five seasons arent enough to appease the base.Just like Strong, Sumlins work will be judged against Hermans this season. And if it doesnt stack up, the Aggies might want to trade in their former rising star from Houston for the latest model.A bidding war between Texas and Texas A&M for Herman would bring the dysfunctional rivalry between the schools to new heights.But for now, Herman seems more likely to be the next LSU coach than the next Texas or Texas A&M boss. Or why not just stay at Houston if it lands in the Big 12?These things change quickly. Strong knows he is not in the clear.No, because Ive still got a few more to go, so I dont have any relief, Strong said with a laugh. No, I dont think you get any relief, no.---Follow Ralph D.
