The Razorbacks walked away with more than the Golden Boot Trophy this weekend, as two players emerged from the 31-14 victory over LSU honored with individual SEC player of the week awards. 

Junior lineman Dan Skipper walked away as the league's most recognized offensive lineman:

• Arkansas ran the ball on 40 of 56 offensive plays, rushing for a season-high 299 yards with three touchdowns - most rushing yards against LSU since Sept. 20, 2014.

• Sixth time this season, including five of six SEC games, Arkansas has rushed for over 200 yards compared to five times in 2014 and once in SEC action.

• Arkansas leads the SEC with five 200-yard rushing games in SEC play and is second yards per game (204.3).

• Arkansas' 299 yards rushing at No. 9 LSU were its most in an SEC game since it had 385 at LSU on Nov. 23, 2007.

• Arkansas had three runs of 25-plus yards by three different players in its win at No. 9 LSU.

• Running back Alex Collins reached the 100-yard plateau for an SEC-best eighth time this season, while three players rushed for over 70 yards.

While linebacker Dre Greenlaw was named as the best rookie in the conference last weekend:

• Led Arkansas in tackles for the fifth time since entering the starting lineup in week three.

• His 12 tackles at LSU marked his fourth double-digit performance in the last six games.

• Forced a fumble on his first career sack at No. 9 LSU which led to a touchdown and a 21-0 Arkansas lead.

• Has 65 tackles over his last six games.

• Leads Arkansas and ranks sixth in the SEC with 84 tackles.

• Tops among SEC rookies and tied for second nationally among FBS freshman with 84 stops on the year.

It's a great week to be associated with the Razorbacks.
