Updated: November 4, 2012

"I heard the (Tulsa) coaches saying 'its coming over here' I was like yeah it is!" Arkansas wide receiver Cobi Hamilton joked following the Razorbacks 19-15 win over the Golden Hurricane.

Trey: Tulsa knew Arkansas targeted Cobi Hamilton all game long,

it just didn't know how to stop him.

"I knew we had to make a couple big plays late and I knew he'd do it for me if he got one on one," Quarterback Tyler Wilson said. "He made two big time plays late in the game."
"We wanted to attack a certain corner and we hit him on a couple plays in the 3rd and 4th quarter that helped us win the game," offensive coordinator Paul Petrino added.

Hamtilon dominated the Golden Hurricane secondary accounting for 177 of the Razorbacks 272 yards passing.

"Any quarterback, you got to have a guy that you feel comfortable with, you got to have a guy that you go to during crunch time and he's done an incredible job and I think he's one of the best receivers in the country," Wilson said.

Cobi's numbers put him on par with the best receivers nationally, and through just 9 games in 2012 he broke Arkansas' single season record for receptions.

"Its fun! Everything is fun the locker room is happy the atmosphere is happy so to get big records and have big games is fun," Hamilton said. "He's had a great year he just keeps improving he really tries to carry the team," Petrino said about Cobi's performance thus far in 2012.

"I didn't even know before the game, after the game the coach Paul Petrino came up and said congrats on breaking the record and I said what record?" Hamilton admited about his 69 receptions mark in 2012.
