Arkansas Wins SEC West, 21-20
Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Matt Jones threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to DeCori Birmingham with nine seconds left, and David Carlton made a 35-yard extra point to give Arkansas a 21-20 victory over the No. 18 Tigers (8-4, 5-3) in a Southeastern Conference game Friday.
The victory clinched the SEC’s West Division for the Razorbacks (9-3, 5-3), who will play Georgia in the SEC title game Dec. 7.
Arkansas was penalized 15 yards for excessive celebration after Birmingham’s winning reception, setting up Carlton’s extra point, which curved left and was barely good.
