It's strange. I feel like the players play tighter or something. On the road they seem to let it loose usually.

NWA isn't a true home field I don't guess

It has nothing to do with the fans but the failure of Sam preparing his team for these games.

It's the level of competition. We always seem to play up or down to whoever we're playing, and sleepwalk through games we're projected to easily win.

This team will now play lights out against better competition the rest of the way, and we will be once again left scratching our heads saying "why couldn't we play like this versus A&M/Liberty?" It seems to be our MO and it's spanned multiple coaching staffs, but still comes down to coaching.

We easily win yesterday if we play the whole game like the last half of the 4th, so we know that it's there when we're actually motivated. The coaching staff needs to really put an emphasis on finding a way to get up for these kinds of games, to get the players hyped up and motivated like they were in the 4th quarter for a full game

Part of it comes down to not having any guys that Cherish and take pride in wearing that Razorback every time they step on the field. It didn’t matter to guys like grant Morgan and Hayden Henry who we were playing because every day they stepped onto the field they were living their dream. Now obviously you can’t field an entire team of Arkansas boys because we don’t have the talent but damn it would be nice if the coach could get guys to feel that way once they get on campus. I’m not a fan of Houston nutt but taking pride in playing for the state of Arkansas was the one thing he actually did well and it’s a big reason he had the success he did. It wasn’t because he was a good coach (he wasn’t) but by god the players would play their arse off not just for him but for the state and the program they represented. We don’t have anyone on this team right now that actually cares and takes pride in being an Arkansas Razorback. Maybe terry Hampton but that’s it. We need more guys that love the razorbacks.

We lost to Toledo in LR and always suck at ATT.

It’s not a NWA problem.

We’ve had our biggest wins since we stopped playing LSU in LR at DWRRS.

Everyone was in here circle jerking after the Texas game.

It’s the teams mentality and coaching. Down 21-3 at half to Liberty at home kills any fanbase.

Lol beating lsu in Little Rock is probably the biggest win this program has had since Tennessee in 1999.
