Arkansas: 2022 Outback Bowl Champions

TAMPA, Fla. -- — Arkansas football is on the rise.

KJ Jefferson picked up 104 of his 110 rushing yards in the second half and threw for 90 more to lead No. 22 Arkansas past Penn State 24-10 in the Outback Bowl on Saturday. Raheim Sanders had 79 yards and two touchdowns on 13 rushing attempts and Dominique Johnson added 85 yards on 11 carries as the Razorbacks finished with 361 yards on the ground.

"We've come a long way," Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said.

Arkansas (9-4), coming off four consecutive seasons of four or fewer wins, got its first nine-win year since going 11-2 in 2011. The Razorbacks also played in their first bowl game since the 2016 Belk Bowl.

"I believe in this program and where it's headed," Sanders said. " I know coach Pittman has a plan in place and this is just the beginning. We want to compete at the highest level. In order to do that we have to win these games, beat these teams and continue to raise our game."

Sean Clifford went 14 of 32 or 195 yards for Penn State (7-6). He gained 47 yards on the ground on 11 attempts.

"I thought our guys played extremely hard but we didn't play well enough, obviously, to win the game," Penn State coach James Franklin said,

Jefferson ran 20 times while completing 14 of 19 passes. The 6-foot-3, 245-pound sophomore was sacked five times and limited to 6 yards rushing on 11 carries during the first half.

"I'm just embracing it," said Jefferson, who was the game's MVP.

Jefferson and Sanders had TD runs, and Cam Little made a 36-yard field goal in the third quarter to put Arkansas up 24-10.

Arkansas took the opening kickoff in the second half and put together a seven-play, 75-yard drive that concluded with Jefferson's 8-yard TD run.

Jefferson was hurt and left for several plays after a 34-yard dash later in the third period, and was replaced by Malik Hornsby. He had a 32-yard run to set up Sanders' 1-yard score with 2:00 left in the quarter.

"We did a really good job in the first half of limiting explosive runs," Franklin said. "But in the second half they made an adjustment, a commitment to run the quarterback."

Jefferson said he had the wind knocked out of him on the play. Hornsby had 67 yards on four carries.

Penn State led 10-7 at the half thanks to a 43-yard field goal by Jake Pinegar. The Nittany Lions tied it at 7 early in the second quarter when Clifford took advantage of blown coverage and hit a wide open KeAndre Lambert-Smith for a 42-yard touchdown.

"I don't know. I wouldn't say I'm frustrated, we just have to take this loss to heart and work harder in the offseason to get better next season," Lambert-Smith said. "We needed to do the little things. We had to play better and execute better."

Arkansas took a 7-0 lead on the last play of the first quarter when Sanders had a 3-yard TD run. The Razorbacks converted a pair of fourth-down plays during the drive, including Jefferson avoiding a sack and running for 13 yards.

MISSING PLAYERS

Both teams were impacted by bowl opt outs. Penn State was without leading receiver Jahan Dotson; defensive end Arnold Ebiketie and tackle Derrick Tangelo; safety Jaquan Brisker; and linebackers Ellis Brooks and Brandon Smith.

"We need to thank Penn State," Pittman said. "Penn State had a lot of guys go to the NFL and coach Franklin elected to play the game. I respect that big time."

Arkansas played without wide receiver Treylon Burks and defensive end Tre Williams.

NUMBERS

Jefferson had his streak of 171 consecutive passes without an interception end when Ji' Ayir Brown picked off his second throw of the game in the first quarter. Brown finished with two interceptions. … Penn State DE Smith Vilbert had three sacks. ... Arkansas S Joe Foucha had an interception in the end zone and a sack during the second half.

Your vintage IKEA could be worth a lot more than you think

When I think of IKEA, no matter how much I love the brand, “heirloom” doesn’t quite spring to mind. It would hardly rank high on my list of items to pass on to my grandchildren, if I ever have any.

But some IKEA pieces are bucking the trend. Rare, vintage pieces are hitting the high notes at auction houses. Well, I didn’t quite believe it, so I did a quick search on 1stdibs and true enough *scream icon* they list for 4 figures.

According to a report from Barneby’s, an online auction hub, vintage IKEA furniture is fetching sky high prices, sometimes 10x more than their original price. Iconic pieces, such as the pair of IKEA clam chairs pictured below were sold for £50,000.

Pontus Silfverstolpe, co-founder of Barnebys, explains this phenomenon to House Beautiful UK as nostalgic buying. “When a new generation becomes financially established and begins to trade at an auction, they usually start to buy what they saw around them when growing up. We saw it clearly around the turn of the century when the Scandinavian design from the 1950s and 60s became incredibly popular, and now it’s increasingly 1970s and 90s.”

Not surprisingly, the IKEA auction items that command the highest prices are usually the ‘flops’ which were quickly discontinued due to poor sales figures or high production costs, says Silfverstolpe.

Verner Panton’s VILBERT chairs from 1995, which were sold at $65 each back then, now goes for $4,500 for a set of 4 on 1stdibs. IKEA the Book called it “a rarity that quickly disappeared”. Made from MDF fiberboard with melamine surfaces of various colours, it was also one of the flattest packages in IKEA history. (More on IKEA the Book.)

Does this make you want to start collecting vintage IKEA pieces?

IKEA has thousands of products. Where to begin? Silfverstolpe thinks the IKEA PS range is a good place to start, as it is limited edition and have upcoming and big-name designers behind it.

Apartment Therapy curated a list of top 10 vintage IKEA pieces that could potentially cost a lot more in the future. Niels Gammelgaard‘s work for IKEA is definitely worth looking into. I personally love his OTI chair and MOMENT sofa pictured below.

Now, if only I can keep them standing pristine for the next 70 years.

For the fun of it, which of these has the potential to go up and up?
