The only bright spot for Arkansas-Pine Bluff in its season opener was Arkansas declining what would have been a pair of 15-yard penalties for wearing all black uniforms.
Otherwise, the Golden Lions suffered through a 70-0 loss to the Razorbacks on Thursday night.
Taylen Green, a transfer quarterback from Boise State, led unranked Arkansas to seven first-half touchdowns on seven possessions.
Green had 219 yards passing in his one half, going 16-for-27 and two touchdowns. He ran for 88 yards on six carries and two touchdowns, including a 36-yard sideline-to-sideline scramble that ran Arkansas’s lead to 49-0 by halftime.
Along with Green’s passing, the Hogs gained 229 yards rushing. Ja’Quinden Jackson, a portal transfer from Utah, had two rushing touchdowns and gained 101 yards on eight carries. He also had two receptions for 20 yards.
Green found nine different Hog receivers for completions in the first two quarters.
Tyrone Broden had a 9-yard scoring reception from Green, and Ty Washington made a fingertip grab of a soft lob from Green for 23 yards to score. Rodney Hill, another newcomer to Arkansas from Florida State, scored on a 4-yard run.
Razorback backups took over as the teams played 10-minute quarters in the second half.
Mehki Hagens completed 11 of 23 passes for 123 yards for UAPB.
