So, coming here and playing well and getting the win is something the whole program really needed.Allen finished with 206 yards through the air and completed 13 of 18 passes, and the junior -- in his first season as the starter -- now has 10 touchdowns and no interceptions in his last four games.He had plenty of help on Saturday, with running backs Devwah Whaley and Rawleigh Williams each topping the 100-yard rushing mark as well.

Arkansas defense struggled at times to slow Alcorn State, though interceptions by Toliver and Josh Liddell aided its cause. Toliver returned his interception 70 yards for a touchdown, the third time this season the Razorbacks have scored after an interception.POLL IMPLICATIONSWhile the Razorbacks are unlikely to make a big move up in the polls following a convincing win over an FCS opponent, theyre not likely to fall much either.
