Arkansas put Georgia on its heels to open the game, driving 75 yards in 13 plays — 12 of them runs — to score on the first possession. But the Bulldogs were able to blunt the momentum with a blocked extra point.

Senior defensive tackle Ray Drew blasted through the middle to get a hand on the kick. It was the first blocked PAT by the Bulldogs since 2012 when Kwame Geathers notched one versus Florida Atlantic.

It was the second in as many weeks given up by Arkansas.
