Jahdae Barron Powers Texas Longhorns to Halftime Lead vs. Arkansas Razorbacks
The Texas Longhorns headed in halftime of Saturday’s matchup against the Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville with a 10-0 lead after fighting off a sluggish start offensively thanks to some continued strong play by the defense.
Jahdae Barron’s four interception of the year in the first quarter set Texas up for a 20-yard touchdown grab from receiver Matthew Golden before Bert Auburn added a 39-yard field goal two drives later.. Aside from the turnover, the Longhorns forced five punts on the rest of Arkansas’ drives. Barron finished the first half with the four total tackles, a sack, two tackles for loss and the interception.
Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers faced heavy pressure often in the pocket and was sacked twice. He missed a few routine throws and nearly had his first pass intercepted, but the ball tipped into the hands of Isaiah Bond for a 17-yard gain.
Despite an up-and-down start, Ewers finished the first half 15 of 23 passing for 100 yards, one touchdown and no picks. His score to Golden came as a result of a bust in the Arkansas’ secondary. The Houston transfer has now caught seven touchdowns this season. However, it was Silas Bolden that led the Longhorns in receiving at halftime with three catches for 33 yards and one punt return for 12 yards.
The Razorbacks got nothing going on offense, as Texas got one sack each from Trey Moore, Colin Simmons, Barron and Alfred Collins.
Looking to get back into scoring position ahead of the two-minute timeout, back-to-back catches for loss by Wisner and Blue set Texas way out Auburn’s range. The Longhorns forced a quick three-and-out but Ewers was sacked on third down once again.
Arkansas will receive the second half kickoff.

LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — A bee swarm attack in Texas sent three people, including a firefighter, to the hospital this week, while Arkansas medical experts said most bee stings are not dangerous but can become life-threatening in certain cases.
Authorities in San Antonio said the three victims were hospitalized after being swarmed and stung by aggressive bees. Officials have not released details on what triggered the attack or the species involved.
Doctors in Arkansas said the biggest risk from a bee sting is not the sting itself, but a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
“The concern when you have a bee sting is if you develop a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis,” said Dr. Garrett Lewis, chief medical officer at St. Vincent Infirmary.
Lewis said warning signs include throat swelling, difficulty breathing and feeling faint, which require immediate medical attention.
“If you’re experiencing any throat swelling or severe shortness of breath, you need to seek medical care immediately,” Lewis said.
He added that people who are stung multiple times may also be at risk even without a known allergy, because each sting introduces additional venom into the body.
In the event of a swarm, Lewis said the priority should be escaping the area as quickly as possible and removing any stingers once safe.
“Seek water, seek indoor,” Lewis said. “Once you’re away from the swarm, you want to make sure that you are removing any stingers that might still be in your skin.”
Lewis also said symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and widespread hives can indicate a serious reaction.
While the Texas incident resulted in hospitalizations, a recent swarm outside a Little Rock business ended without injuries after bees briefly gathered on a tree limb before being safely removed by a beekeeper.
Lewis said the best prevention is awareness of surroundings and understanding when medical care is needed after a sting.

We are proud to partner with the Corning Police Department in addressing these violations. We seized a substantial quantity of illegal products, including flower, vapes, edibles, and other items, during the operation.
