Only scored 10 points combined in the 2nd half last 2 games. Seems like after the other team makes adjustments at half we’re just fricked

Petrino, for all his skill, runs his offense and doesn't much care to deviate from it. When it is working the Arkansas offense is the best in the country. However, we don't seem to be able to make changes.

Yes, he's a magician, God himself brought Petrino to Arkansas, and we should rename the team to the Arkansas Motorbikes. But even back in the glory days Bobby didn't like to change things up and make adjustments.

Their defense also made some adjustments and actually executed them. They were swarming all over the place. Never would've thought I'd say this, but I'd give my left nut to have their defense to go with our offense. And its not a talent thing, it's a scheme and heart thing. No way does their defense have more talent than ours. They just give 110% when it's needed. Kind of like their freshman QB that came in for one play and literally carried our 390 lb d-lineman on his back for 5-6 yards. I truly believe our biggest problem is lack of want to and shitty culture.

Is it because he called the right play but doesn’t have the right player at quarterback?

As much as he wants a Ryan Mallett to throw to the moon and back or a Lamar Jackson. He needs a Tyler Wilson, smart enough to get through reads quickly and skilled enough to hit the check downs on time and where only they can catch.

That number becomes 24 points easy without a couple of fumbles. Also had a pick deep in Memphis territory today. We are turning the ball over at really bad times (obvious take of the year)

There is literally nothing wrong with the offense besides key turnovers and bad decisions deep in opponent territory.

Green was locked in on one receiver the first half. Any decent DC will figure this out and adjust accordingly.

Eh, he spread the ball around pretty darn well today minus the two ridiculous interceptions.

Despite all that, game was not on him at all.

That was the worst showing on defense I’ve seen since Chaggie. Just atrocious level of quit the entire game.

Sorrey missed like 13 tackles.

Bull. He threw 2 god awful picks, one at a key point in the game into double coverage with a third db closing in as well. That 2nd pick was one of those freshman mistakes he still makes as a senior.
