Overview
- Marshall left the game with a right‑leg/hamstring issue after trainers tended to him earlier in the first quarter and appeared to re‑aggravate the problem on a 28‑yard screen late in the second quarter.
- An ESPN broadcast reported Marshall was ruled out for the remainder of the game and he did not return in the second half.
- Marshall exited the locker room at halftime in street clothes and was seen hobbling and reaching for his hamstring, with no public long‑term diagnosis available from team sources.
- Antonio Jordan replaced Marshall and caught consecutive passes that helped set up an 11‑yard touchdown run that tied the game at halftime, and other receivers including Monte Harrison and Jamari Hawkins took increased snaps.
- Marshall entered the game as Arkansas' leading receiver with 42 catches for 605 yards and two touchdowns, so his absence creates an immediate offensive shortfall and leaves the team awaiting medical updates on his recovery.
