No. 1 Texas Falls to No. 11 Arkansas 6-1, Drops First Series This Season: Live Game Log

The Longhorns will need to bounce back in a big way following the 9-0 loss in the opener.

One of life's biggest questions is what do you do when you get punched in the mouth and knocked down? Do you simply roll over and accept it, or rather do you get back up? That is the question the No. 1 Texas Longhorns (38-6, 19-3).

For the second time in conference play, they find themselves entering the second game of the series fresh off a blowout loss. The first time was when they lost to the LSU Tigers in game one and then bounced back to take games two and three, and ultimately the series.

This time they find themselves on the heels of a 9-0 drubbing at the hands of the No. 11 Arkansas Razorbacks (38-9, 15-7). It was the first shutout loss of the season for the Longhorns, and one that shrunk their lead atop the SEC down to four games.
