I mean, we had 8 sacks... The game would've been a bit different if we didn't turn the ball over 3 times, which is uncharacteristic of us. 1 fumble into the endzone and another in the red zone. Also held them to 52 yards rushing. Our problem last week wasn't pass rush, it was missed tackles.


That’s fair. So Missouri State has a quick passing game and was able to torch Arkansas’ difficulty with open field tackling.

Yep. Go back and watch the highlights. I don’t recall them beating us deep at all. It was pretty much all YAC.

Same with South Carolina.

Yes and no. Arkansas has been playing without both starting safeties, and our nickle back was also out. This led to a starting corner splitting time at safety depending on down, and then our other starting corner didn't play most of the 4th quarter.

One of the safeties returns; the corner that missed much of the 4th quarter, returns; the corner who had to play some snaps at safety, gets to go back to being a full time corner, and our nickle returns.

This is as close to full personnel as we will have had for the defensive backfield since the beginning of the season. Its still not healthy, but its much less a triage unit with shoulder pads.

That QB was a starter at Utah and I think they won the PAC-12. He was a duel threat that was sacked eight times but I could tell that he was coached up by Petrino at 5-11 had 6-5 Drew Sanders in face, first down throw.
