The Razorbacks totaled 466 yards to Missouri State's 163. Head coach Bobby Petrino is now 4-0 in season openers at Arkansas and 8-0 for his coaching career.
Joe Adams tied an Ess-E-Cee record for two punt returns for scores... the first time the feat occured in a game since 2002.
Here's your highlights...
The HQ was at the Plains for the rough season opener for Auburn. Utah State only lost to Oklahoma by 7 last year, and was this/close t beating Auburn as they led by two scores with 3:30 left...
Chris Pallone tells you what happened from there...
((HT: WVTM-TV Birmingham))
Chad Sabadie got the privilege of a late newscast, so we have LSU-Oregon highlights for you... the game exposed Oregon's defensive issues that may keep them from repeating in a Bee-Cee-Ess title game. That'll happen when Cliff Harris isn't around...
LSU converted three of Oregon's four turnovers into 20 points and won its 34th consecutive nonconference game.
In other scores, Connor Shaw started and Stephen Garcia finished in their comeback win over East Carolina 56-37. Alabama had no problems with Nick Saban's Alma Mater, Kent, and Boomtown was happy for a day as the Florida Gators beat Florida Atlantic 41-3.

BREAKING: Jefferson, Johns Suspended Indefinitely
After turning themselves in to Baton Rouge police, LSU starting QB Jordan Jefferson and LB Josh Johns have been suspended indefinitely pending a review of their case in the assault a week ago...
"Jordan and Josh have been suspended indefinitely," LSU head coach Les Miles said in a statement. "We will continue to cooperate with the authorities in an effort to find out exactly what took place during the incident.
"As sad as this incident is, it's important that we learn from this and that we take away a valuable lesson. This has weighed on all of us. It's time for us to come together as a team and focus on what we are here to do."
More when we know more...
1215 UPDATE: According to the Baton Rouge Advocate newspaper, police secured arrest warrants for second-degree battery on the two. Both men went to Parish Prison this morning with their attorney, Nathan Fisher, where they are being booked on the felony counts.
Eyewitness accounts differ on who started what during the brawl last weekend. One account say that the players started the assault on Andrew Lowery where others say that Lowery threw the first punch after being escorted out of Shady's Bar...

LSU loses Shepard for discussing Inquiry with a teammate?
 |
| Russell Shepard |
Really? That's all it takes? Talking to a teammate about an NCAA investigation. One that you are a part of.
Well, we didn't see that coming and we are guessing neither did The Mad Hatter (Les Miles).
Junior wide receiver Russell Shepard, one of LSU's best players and featured receiver is out for the season opener versus Oregon and may be out for quite a bit longer.
The reason: He violated an NCAA bylaw. He told a teammate about what was going on. Shepard has been one of the players involved with the issues LSU is being investigated for and because of that, the NCAA wanted to talk with him. We get that. Maybe it is like being a juror and you can't discuss the case with anyone. Who knows? Even the NCAA admits they don't understand their own rulebook half the time.
Anyway, read more from NOLA.com RIGHT HERE
Coach Les Miles says it will be 10 days to 2 weeks before finding out exactly how bad the violation is. And then the NCAA gets to decide what to do. Unfortunately, Shepard won't get to play during that time which could...or couldn't end up being dragged out through the season.
Considering the issues facing quarterback Jordan Jefferson and others right now, this is the last thing LSU needs. The Tigers open with Oregon next week at Cowboys Stadium and it is beginning to look like they will be nowhere near 100-percent.
Because we can, we give you Les at his best from a few years ago during the SEC Championship game. We were actually there our ownselves to hear it live, but the video...well it will live on forever.
Busy Day In Red Stick: Miles, Jefferson, And A Police Report
((HT: WBRZ-TV))
Turns out, 49 pairs of shoes were taken in the evidence bags that left Jordan Jefferson's apartment yesterday...
Who is he...??? Imelda Marcos...???
The HQ thinks the Baton Rouge Police Department is looking for the pair of shoes that allegedly had contact with the assault victim...
The police report is out on the assault...
The eyewitness accounts of a 19-year-old woman were included in the report... and, yes, some places have released the name... we're not...
The eyewitness told police that she also saw LB Josh Johns attacking the man kicked by Jefferson.
Here's the report, thanks to our friends at WAFB-TV
LSU head football coach Les Miles's contract could be amended soon, pending on approval by the LSU Board of Supervisors.
If the board approves, the amendment would not change his basic annual pay of $3.751 million, but would increase incentives for meeting certain post-season and academic achievements.
Academic achievements...??? Bully for you, sir...
It would also increase the maximum amount LSU would owe if Miles was fired without cause. The grounds for termination with cause remain unchanged.
From a press release from Herb Vincent:
"Should the coach be terminated without cause during the term of the contract, liquidated damages amounts, which are established by the contract in advance, would be reduced by the amount of compensation previously paid during the year of termination, and further reduced by any compensation the coach receives in subsequent employment. Miles would remain under a continuing good-faith obligation to seek similar or related employment for which LSU would receive credit against the stated liquidated damages if there were a termination without cause."

Developing: Kragthorpe diagnosed with Parkinson's ((UPDATED With Video))
((ht: lsusports.net))
Wow! Steve Kragthorpe, hired to be the Offensive Coordinator this season at LSU announced today he's been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and will back off his responsibilities this season and remain on the staff as the Quarterbacks coach.
This comes on the heels of LSU's 1st official practice of the season. Offensive line coach Greg Studrawa will take over for Kragthorpe.
Kragthorpe was a head coach at Lousiville and before that at Tulsa and is considered one of the best offensive minds in College Football.
Sadly, he sat out the 2010 season because apparently his wife had been diagnosed with MS.
We give props to Kragthorpe for trying to persevere through all of this and are glad he'll be able to still do what he loves, coach football.
All of us at OSG Sports wish he and his family nothing but success and luck as they battle these debilitating diseases.
Here's the report from our friends at WBRZ-TV in Baton Rouge...
