Freshman running back Cedric Cobbs was named the Cotton Bowl offensive MVP, and senior defensive lineman D.J.
Senior quarterback Clint Stoerner became the school's all-time leading passer in most passing categories.
Stoerner also redeemed himself versus Tennessee, after fumbling away the ball late in the game in Knoxville in 1998.
This season, Stoerner threw the game-winning touchdown pass to Anthony Lucas late in the fourth quarter versus the Volunteers in Fayetteville, leading Arkansas to a victory by the same score, 28–24.
Razorback fans tore down the goal posts after the win, and carried them to Dickson Street in downtown Fayetteville in celebration.
