Mexicos NFL Live, Goodell said the league will evaluate the entire experience
before making a decision.its been an incredible success so far, Goodell said
prior to Monday nights game. Im optimistic well be back.Were going to get to
work right away on this ... This is a priority for us. We see the passion thats
happening here and the fans interest in this game continues to explode. We want
to feed that. ... We want to continue that relationship and be back for
more.Goodell says the NFLs plans will not be impacted by President-elect Donald

. In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending
nearly $1 billion in the off-season. And although English league clubs are
unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to
strengthen their squads with new strikers.

Madrid lost in the Copa del Rey final to Atletico Madrid in May due to back and
foot injuries. FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Losing is one thing for Arkansas coach Bret
Bielema.Losing in the fashion the Razorbacks did two weeks ago to No. 11 Auburn
-- allowing 543 yards rushing in a 56-3 loss -- is another completely.With a bye
week to put that humiliation behind it, Arkansas (6-3, 2/3 Southeastern
Conference) bounced back with a dominating 31-10 win over No. 10 Florida on
Saturday.And it was the defense that was trampled by the Tigers that led the
way, holding the Gators (6-3, 4-2, No. 11 CFP) to a season-low 12 yards rushing
on 14 carries.To come out of that game and realize we couldnt stop the run, I
just said, `I dont care what we do, were going to stop the run on defense,
Bielema said. I dont care if we played with 11 guys or had to play with 12. Ill
take the penalty; we aint going to have someone run the ball on us.While
Arkansas defense had its way with a reeling Florida offense, Rawleigh Williams
did his best to lead the Razorbacks on offense -- rushing for 148 yards and a
pair of touchdowns on 26 carries. It was the fifth time this season Williams has
topped the 100-yard mark.The win is the first over the Gators for Arkansas since
the 1982 Bluebonnet Bowl, and its the Razorbacks first SEC victory over Florida.
Arkansas had lost nine straight conference games to the Gators since joining the
league in 1992, but it outgained Florida 466-241 in total yardage on Saturday in
the comfortable win.Thats our identity, Williams said. If we cant run the ball,
our team doesnt click the way it should ... Everything else will open up because
of that, and it did today.The Gators only touchdown came on an interception
return for a touchdown by Duke Dawson in the first half. Luke Del Rio finished
19-of-37 passing for 229 yards and also threw two interceptions for Florida,
which has now failed to reach 250 yards of total offense in three of its last
four games.First and foremost for the guys who made the trip down here, I
apologize you had to sit through that, Florida coach Jim McElwain said. ... I
feel horriblee for Gator Nation and the way everything kind of played
out.ddddddddddddThe Razorbacks finished with 223 yards rushing overall, a marked
improvement after totaling 25 yards on 31 carries in the loss to Auburn two
weeks ago. Freshman Devwah Whaley added 66 yards on the ground on 14 carries,
and quarterback Austin Allen finished 15-of-26 passing for 243 yards and a
touchdown.Senior wide receiver Drew Morgan led Arkansas seven catches for 95
yards and a touchdown, while safety Santos Ramirez opened the scoring with a
24-yard interception return for a touchdown -- the fourth time the Razorbacks
have scored on an interception this season.After that Auburn game, we were down,
Arkansas defensive end Jeremiah Ledbetter said. But we knew we could bounce back
and we had a good team.THE TAKEAWAYIf there was any doubt left about the
dominance of the SEC West vs. the East this season, this should put an end to
that once and for all. The West was 8-1 against the East entering Saturday, and
every team in the West now has a victory this season over an East opponent.POLL
IMPLICATIONSArkansas fell out of the rankings following its humiliating 56-3
loss to Auburn two weeks ago, the worst defeat in Bielemas four seasons.
Saturdays win might not be enough to usher in a return for the Razorbacks, but
voters are likely to now pay more attention to who Arkansas has lost to this
season -- No. 1 Alabama, No. 7 Texas A&M and No. 11 Auburn.Florida,
meanwhile, continues to rate as the best of the SEC East -- which should be
enough to keep the Gators in the rankings for at least another week.UP
NEXTFlorida returns home for the first time since Oct. 15 when it hosts South
Carolina next week.Arkansas closes out its home schedule next week by hosting
No. 13 LSU, which it has defeated in each of the last two seasons.---More AP
