Arkansas Wins SEC West, 21-20
Matt Jones threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to DeCori Birmingham with nine seconds left, and David Carlton made a 35-yard extra point to give Arkansas a 21-20 victory over the No. 18 Tigers (8-4, 5-3) in a Southeastern Conference game Friday.

Arkansas was penalized 15 yards for excessive celebration after Birmingham’s winning reception, setting up Carlton’s extra point, which curved left and was barely good.
