Atlanta ? Arkansas had already allowed two touchdowns and a field goal before officially gaining a yard, and it didn’t get much better from there.

The No. 22 Razorbacks had no answer for No. 4 Georgia, which beat Arkansas a 30-3 Saturday night in the Southeastern Conference championship game at the Georgia Dome.

Arkansas (9-4) had a six-game winning streak snapped and lost for the second time in two appearances in the title game. Those two losses have been by a combined 64-6.

The Razorbacks lost two yards on three plays on their first possession before Richie Butler had his punt blocked by Decory Bryant.

The block gave the Bulldogs (12-1) first-and-goal at the 2, and Musa Smith scored on the first play for a 7-0 lead.

Arkansas played mistake-free for the rest of the half but struggled to move the ball, finishing with more punts (six) than first downs (five). The Razorbacks managed to cross midfield only once in the first 30 minutes, and that 26-yard drive stalled at the Georgia 39 after an incomplete pass.

The Razorbacks’ initial first down was the result of a personal foul late in the first quarter – one of five in the game on the Bulldogs – and Arkansas didn’t get a first down on its own until its first possession of the second quarter.

In the opening half, the Razorbacks gained 74 yards on 26 plays.

They came into the game leading the SEC with an average of 243.3 yards on the ground. Georgia, mindful that Arkansas also was last in the conference in passing, stacked the line, daring Matt Jones to throw.

Jones finished 9-for-18 for 60 yards, often leaving the pocket to avoid pressure and dumping the ball out of bounds, and leading rusher Fred Talley was held to 51 yards on 17 carries, nearly 35 below his average.
