The Razorbacks won their first game in the SEC after they defeated South Carolina, 45–7, at Williams–Brice Stadium. The season was highlighted with an upset victory over #4 Tennessee, led by Heisman candidate Heath Shuler, thanks in part to a game-winning 41-yard field goal from Todd Wright with just two seconds left on the clock.[5] The victory effectively kept the Volunteers out of a three-way tie for 1st place in the SEC East at season's end, as Tennessee finished one-game behind Division co-champions Florida and Georgia in the SEC's first year of divisional play. Wright, who also secured two other 45+ yard field goals, an onside kick, and a forced fumble, was named "player of the game" due to his efforts, and the game has since become an all-time favorite for Razorback fans.[6] Despite finishing 3–7–1, Arkansas ended their season with a 30–6 rout of LSU, their first victory against the Tigers since 1929.[7]
