I have clips from several SEC games.
Harry King had a good article on the Razorbacks’ victory over New Mexico:
LITTLE ROCK — Desperate for anything substantive about Arkansas, the upcoming game against Troy is actually anticipated.
Embracing the contest with the Trojans results from watching Arkansas overwhelm inferior New Mexico on Saturday and Missouri State in the season opener, knowing that Troy is a consistent winner, albeit in the Sun Belt Conference. Missouri State spotted the Razorbacks 22 scholarship players in the opener; on Saturday night, the Lobos and Razorbacks were equal only in the number of scholarships.
The Razorbacks were so superior that they led 31-3 at the half although one possession ended with a missed field goal and another with an interception. Production from the running backs was minuscule until the game was out of hand and quarterback Tyler Wilson was pressured more than expected.
After two games, Arkansas’ running attack remains a mystery. At intermission, Wilson was the leading rusher with 48 yards. Next was wide receiver Joe Adams with 33. De’Anthony Curtis and Ronnie Wingo Jr. had five carries each for a total of 23 yards.

The Arkansas Times had some pictures the of the crowd:
A week earlier, Bobby Petrino admitted he did not have the patience to run the ball when the Bears were conceding the pass. Arkansas was credited with 18 running plays and 26 pass plays in the first half against the Lobos, but a couple of the runs were scrambles by Wilson.
Unlike Missouri State and New Mexico, Troy has a recent history of winning, recording eight or more Ws each of the past five years. Troy quarterback Corey Robinson is recognizable, maybe because he beat Sun Belt opponent Arkansas State University with a TD pass in the last minute in 2010.
Arkansas is the only team in the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference to start the season with two pushovers. The other five teams in the division played either a conference game or Penn State or Oregon or Brigham Young.
Barely 10 minutes deep in Saturday’s game, Arkansas led by 11. After a fake field goal was stuffed by the Razorbacks early in the second quarter, the gap widened to a final of 52-3.
On this particular weekend, the patriotic pig in the middle of the field and the alternating sections of red and white, plus the students clad in blue, reminded that there are life-and-death issues that rise far above football.
Petrino showed off a couple of wrinkles early, plays that upcoming opponents will see and heed. Right out of the box, wide receiver Adams lined up at tailback, took a pitch, and made 15 yards. Next, the flow went left and Tyler Wilson netted 30 on a naked bootleg.
On the other side, the offense’s uneven performance will provide Petrino with some points of emphasis.
Very proficient on no-stress passes in the opener, Wilson forced some throws while on the move against the Lobos. With a first down at the New Mexico 5, his pass was deflected by one of several defenders in the area.
Two plays later, he started forward, but slowed and chose to challenge the three defenders between him and his target, Adams. Prior to that series, Wilson threw an interception and had his fumble recovered by center Travis Swanson.
