NWA Media/JASON IVESTER -- Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson rolls out of the pocket to pass against Kentucky during the second quarter on Saturday, Oct. 13, 2012, at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville.

— Tyler Wilson was 23 of 31 passing for 372 yards and a career-high five touchdowns to lead Arkansas to a 49-7 win over Kentucky in a game shortened by severe weather.

Wilson threw a 74-yard touchdown pass to running back Jonathan Williams on the opening play for the Razorbacks, who had 533 yards of total offense before the game was called with 5:08 remaining in the third quarter because of lightning near Razorback Stadium.

The win was the second straight for Arkansas after a four-game losing streak. Williams finished with three catches for 150 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and running back Dennis Johnson added three touchdowns.

The Wildcats were outgained 444-88 in total yards in the first half.
