Alabama opened the scoring with a 12 yard scamper by Quarterback Pat Trammell. The two teams swapped field goals, before Arkansas had an opportunity to tie the game in the fourth quarter. Lance Alworth first hauled in a 32 yard pass from Razorback QB George McKinney. Bama's Butch Wilson then intercepted a Razorback pass, which allowed time to expire.

Arkansas and Nebraska met for the first time in the 1964 Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas. Arkansas' number-one rated defense was giving up only 5.7 points per game, where Nebraska's #7 scoring offense was scoring 24.9 points per contest.

A standing room only crowd watched as the Hogs opened the scoring on a Tom McKnelly field goal, but the Huskers responded with a Harry Wilson punching it in from one yard out. The third quarter passed with no scoring before Bobby Burnett of Arkansas ran in for the go ahead touchdown. #1 Alabama could not hold off Texas in the Orange Bowl, which left Arkansas to take the number one spot in the polls, and the National Championship.

National Championship

Arkansas was invited to play in the Cotton Bowl on January 1, 1965 against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Razorbacks went on to beat the Cornhuskers 10-7 and were selected as national champions by the Football Writers Association of America and the Helms Athletic Foundation as the #1 Alabama Crimson Tide lost their bowl game against the Texas Longhorns in the Orange Bowl. [cite web |url=http://www.sportswriters.net/fwaa/awards/rice/winners/index.html |title=All-Time Grantland Rice Trophy Winners |accessdate=2007-12-31 |work=Football Writers Association of America] [cite web |url=http://homepages.cae.wisc.edu/~dwilson/rsfc/history/helms.html |title=Helms Athletic Foundation/Bill Schroeder National Champions of College Football 1883-1982 |author=Kirlin, Bob |accessdate=2007-12-31] Because the final AP and Coaches (UPI) Polls were released before bowl games were played at the time, the Crimson Tide was selected national champions by the AP and Coaches (UPI) Polls. [cite web |url=http://homepages.cae.wisc.edu/~dwilson/rsfc/history/CoachPolls.txt |title=Coaches' polls (UPI 1950-1990, CNN/USA Today 1991-present) |author=Kirlin, Bob |accessdate=2007-12-31] Because of the controversy, the AP Poll decided to wait until after the bowl games to select their champion in the 1965 season.
