[2] Arkansas finished the regular season 9–2, came into the game on a five-game winning streak.

The 31-6 upset of the Aggies in War Memorial Stadium is one of the most memorable games in Razorback football history.

Arkansas wouldn't score a touchdown until Georgia's QB Ray Goff tried a 'shoestring' play.

He bent as if to tie his shoe and flipped the ball to Gene Washington, a legal play as long as in one motion, but Razorback Hal McAfee scooped up the ball at the 13 yard line.

The two teams were scoreless in the third period, with Arkansas missing three field goals, before the Hogs exploded for 21 unanswered to close the game.
