PK Steve Little was a consensus All-American in 1977. Little punted 48 times for 2,127 yds, and had the fourth-best average in college football, with 44.3 yards per punt. Little scored an average of 8.5 points per game for the Razorbacks, including 19 field goals (30 attempted) and 37 extra points. This was the eighth-best average per game, and the second-best among kickers. His 1.73 field goals per game was second-best to Paul Marchese of Kent State.
[edit] Team Performance
The third-best scoring defense, Arkansas, was also in a tie for the fourth-best pass defense. The Hogs, along with the Indiana Hoosiers, gave up only 89.5 yards per game through the air, and the Hogs only surrendered 8.6 points per game. Only North Carolina and Ohio State allowed fewer points in 1977. The Razorbacks finished third in both the AP Poll and the UP Poll, pulling a #6 from the Richard Billingsley computer rankings.
