The [[1971 Liberty Bowl]] matched up Arkansas with Tennessee. The Volunteers took the lead first, with a two yard run by Bill Rudder. The Hogs responded with a 36-yard TD strike from Joe Ferguson to Jim Hodge. Scoring wouldn't resume until the fourth quarter, when Razorback [[Bill McClard]] kicked 19- and 30-yard field goals. A third McClard kick was good, set up by Louis Campbell's third interception, but a penalty kept the Hogs off the board a fourth time. Arkansas fumbled at their own 36 yard line, and Tennessee's Curt Watson scored three plays later.

Roland Sales of Arkansas rushed for 205 yards on 23 carries, setting an Orange Bowl record. Sales would hold the record until [[Ahman Green]] carried for 206 yards in 1998, beating Sales by a single yard.<ref>"Orange Bowl Records-Single Game Leaders."

Sales bagan the scoring on a one-yard run after a [[Billy Sims]] fumble. Hog QB [[Ron Calcagni]] would score next, after a fumble by Oklahoma fullback Kenny King. Steve Little completed a field goal to give the Hogs a 17–0 cushion in the third quarter. Sales scored on a four-yard run to stretch the Hog advantage to 24–0. Oklahoma would score on an eight yard touchdown pass, but the Hogs would stop the two-point conversion. Barnabas White would tack on another Razorback touchdown, getting the ball from a young [[Houston Nutt]] playing quarterback for the Hogs.
