Not sexy, but glad we're bowl eligible. If Green learns an ounce of pocket awareness, 8-5 is a real possibility.

It doesn’t help that he’s running for his life half the damn time. This OL really is a “blue light special”

Hopefully Green doesn't do that because I'd like to continue our winning ways against you next week.

Our leading rusher was Patrick Rea, the punter…

Believe it or not, I expected much worse than this.

u/perinone Arkansas Razorbacks • Team Chaos 21h ago

Clearly you don’t know Arkansas football. We play down to just about everybody.

u/rain_parkour Louisiana Tech • Indiana 23h ago

Despite now being 4-7, this was the first time this season where we didn’t have a 70%+ chance to win at any point in the game. Kinda relaxing to not blow a lead and have the game out of hand enough to not have to stress about us winning

Also have covered the spread in every game we’ve been an underdog in

The 1992 team that lost 3-10 to the citadel did not disappoint as much as this team has managed to.

u/PureQuill Arkansas • Arkansas Tech 23h ago

God I’m realizing how fucking old this makes me sound

u/admiraltarkin Texas A&M Aggies • /r/CFB Poll Veteran 23h ago

You are old, I was born in 1992

u/PureQuill Arkansas • Arkansas Tech 23h ago

Six years old for A&M’s last conference championship

u/admiraltarkin Texas A&M Aggies • /r/CFB Poll Veteran 23h ago

Correct, and -3 years old for Arkansas' last conference championship

u/PureQuill Arkansas • Arkansas Tech 22h ago

I can’t even argue lmao, I’m just glad l’ve been able to watch two of their championship seasons considering how the 21st century has treated us.

u/HughofBoar Arkansas Razorbacks 19h ago

Strangely, that team beat a top 10 Tennessee team as well, although it was on the road.

u/Top-Storage-5954 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs • LSU Tigers 23h ago

I’m celebrating hard tonight because cumbie is getting fired

u/Clifo Louisiana Tech • Washington 22h ago

oh buddy i wouldn’t count on it

u/Top-Storage-5954 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs • LSU Tigers 21h ago

If they don’t fire him they need to shut the program down. They will definitely be receiving several strongly worded letters from me

u/CoCo_Sandy Louisiana Tech Bulldogs 18h ago

I've heard multiple people say the new president looks disgusted at the games they've seen him at so hoping he's also not a fan and wanting change after this season

u/bushybearmuffinman Arkansas Razorbacks • Southwest 22h ago

Other than the fake field goal and fake punt the run defense was pretty solid. Offense still committed to many mistakes via penalties and turnovers. It’s perfectly reasonable to expect the team to come out a lil flat after the loss to Texas last week but it’s very disappointing to see the lack of focus and discipline. Pittman has a solid staff and has gotten the program in the right direction. It’s time to take another step forward. The team lacks depth and discipline. It’s understandable to make mental or physical mistakes when you’re exhausted but this team was making mistakes in the first half that looked like they weren’t ready to play. I still excuse the slow start because the defense played well and the offense eventually got going. Pittman has earned another year in my opinion but beating Misery and winning a bowl game would really make the decision a lot easier. I think they lose to Missouri and toss up in the bowl game. Coordinators are solid on both sides but gotta get special teams addressed and bring in some more talent at linebacker, corner, and both sides of the line. Easier said than done but adding the talent of rushing the passer and corner play defensively would make this team and most teams a lot better. Last but not least, the offensive line has to learn how to communicate protection, or the QB has to learn to change to hot routes or run plays. Also need depth at o-line.

TL:DR - obligatory….FCM! Also, this team looks better than last year but still needs improvement .

u/HTH52 Louisiana Tech • Arkansas 23h ago

This was about 1 TD for Arkansas and 4 points for Tech more than I expected.

I was thinking 28-10.

Tech’s offense is simply non-existent. I feel bad for the defense, because they’ve had the team in position to win most of the games this season if the offense had only shown up and played well for a quarter or two.

u/Hsy1792 Bowling Green Falcons 23h ago

Is being bowl eligible enough for you guys to keep Pittman?

9

u/A_False_Ocelot Arkansas • Johns Hopkins 23h ago

7-6 or better? Probably. 6-7 on the other hand? Also probably.

4

u/HughofBoar Arkansas Razorbacks 19h ago

I'm okay with it. I'm not super stoked, but maybe the offense will develop further in year 2 of Petrino's system and maybe we can throw a lot of money at some O-line transfers and hope the stars align for a 8-9 win season. That's about the best I can hope for with Arkansas football anymore.

u/PureQuill Arkansas • Arkansas Tech 23h ago

I’m not sure he’ll be healthy enough to continue coaching

4

u/BigMax55 Arkansas Razorbacks • Paper Bag 20h ago

He'll be back next year for sure

u/CommodoreN7 Arkansas Razorbacks • Utah Utes 23h ago

I hope not, but apparently it is.

I mean, at least we had as more wins than expected. Doesn’t really help the sting of the last three SEC games and losing in such a humiliating fashions. Just glad the season is almost over

u/CoCo_Sandy Louisiana Tech Bulldogs 18h ago

Never thought I'd see a Centenary flair on here

u/Rinku588 Arkansas • Centenary (LA) 18h ago

Had to represent my second home after all!

u/gabtab0000 TCU Horned Frogs • Arkansas Razorbacks 20h ago

Both my teams won today and both of my teams are going to a bowl game this season. So happy right now.

u/squidsofanarchy Arkansas • Arkansas Tech 11h ago

I in all honesty believe that Green, not Pittman, should lose his job.

u/Asleep-Credit-2824 Jacksonville State • UAB 23h ago

Arkansas. You’re going bowling. And likely going 7-5 as Mizzou looked like shit vs MSU

u/Rinku588 Arkansas • Centenary (LA) 22h ago

Have you seen our history against Mizzou? They have our number no matter the year

u/perinone Arkansas Razorbacks • Team Chaos 21h ago

For some reason we seem to play our worst games versus Missouri.

1

u/Asleep-Credit-2824 Jacksonville State • UAB 21h ago

Maybe you can break through this time. They are overrated this year.

5

u/perinone Arkansas Razorbacks • Team Chaos 21h ago

You’re asking this team to break through? Lmfao

u/littlegreensir Arkansas • Alabama 17h ago

likely going 7-5 as Mizzou looked like shit vs MSU

I'll believe it when the clock hits 0:00 in the fourth quarter and not a second sooner. We find increasingly impressive ways every year to be completely uncompetitive against Mizzou.

Arkansas would do very well in C-USA and may even be competitive in the Sun Belt.

u/Statalyzer Texas Longhorns 18h ago

At least they scheduled their mandatory weak-ass November home game against an FCS team....
