I don't know what to take from the Arkansas game. KJ couldn't have looked more disinterested. After every drive, he went to the same spot on the same bench without talking to anyone and just chilled. Did the defense actually turn the corner or is it an anomaly like the South Carolina game was for the offense? I think the game said more about Arkansas quitting after 5 straight emotional losses than it did about State making progress, but I could be wrong.

The good news for State is Auburn is up next and they probably aren't in a much better place emotionally than Arkansas was, coming off of 4 straight SEC losses. Hugh fired some special bullets and Ole Miss played as poorly as they have all year for a half and Auburn still couldn't manage to take a lead at any point in the game. I could see this game playing out exactly like last week's did.

I’ve wondered if Arnett didn’t take back control over the defense over the bye week.

Yes Arkansas played bad, but our defensive playcalling was different. Blitz packages, secondary had their receivers locked down. Jefferson had nowhere to throw all game except check down routes

It reminded me of an Arnett defense from the past two years, not the defense we saw prior to Arkansas.

Armett was feeling the heat, I wonder if he didn’t take over the defense himself since he was a good DC for us to try to save the season. If we can play like that on defense the offense is good enough to win a couple more games especially once Rogers returns
