Angry, but the honest evaluation

[hogsgolfpro]

Is that this team should have won by 17+ today. The offense, overall, was dynamic with creative play calling. A couple big drops by TE's but also some good catches. We got lucky on the long run by A&M QB called dead and our defense gave up horrid plays of 40+ (4-5 of them?)...CBB is absolutely to blame by his sissy play calling to end first half and that pooch kick at the nlend that gave up great field position. Players played hard and mostly solid. D Williams is our best overall back, but CBB set them up to lose.

I really wish people would quit with the should have beens, we lost, 5 straight matter of fact. A change in something needs to be made somewhere.....period

Looks to me as though the refs tried to even it out in the 2nd half... saw numerous missed holding calls, hands to the face and a blatant off sides that wasn't called....  seemed the refs were trying to do a makeup... not that that was the reason we lost, but the 2nd half was a piss poor job and one sided.

Agree.  As if A$M didn't make their own mistakes.  It goes both ways.

We lost because they were better.  Even with all the freshmen they played.  Talent was the difference.  We aren't close.

[LRHawg]

This one hurts worse losing the way we did. Would rather we have just gotten blown out.

Don't worry..that's coming..

[zebradynasty]

Overall a much better performance than against TCU. BUT we make too many mistakes both on the field and in coaching. Been 5 years and nearly every year BB team start off slow. I see nothing that we are doing that should take so long for the players to grasp. At least this game we appeared ready to play for the first time this season!

[orvillesghost]

The only positive thing I can find is that the players gave a huge effort, by far their best of the year so far.

Frustrating to say but A & M still has better talent than we do


Time to make a change regardless

Actually it's 6 straight to the aggs...5 for Beliema.

[DoctorSusscrofa]

Don't watch any more games and send any tickets to BB.

[TheRazorback500]

We had chances to extend the lead to 28-7 and then 28-10 in the first half. Wasted offensive opportunities killed us again.

Just stop it! Are you seriously complaining about the refs after this game?!

[East Clintwood]

Yes

[respirback]

At least we don't have Muschamp

[hogsgolfpro]

All I know is that if we don't beat USCe and Ole Miss, you can kiss 6 wins goodbye..assuming we beat 2 cupcakes and Mizzou

[jgphillips3]

At least we don't have Muschamp

Yeah...wait until he beats us.

It's quite telling that the players with the least Beliema staff coaching, grad transfer, true freshmen, and JUCO transfers, are the best players.

[DallasHogFan]

I disagree with the "dynamic play calling." I think enos got cute pretty much the entire first half. We seemed to be able to line up in the I and run for 4/5 yards at will. Then we'd go shot gun incomplete 3 yard out on 1st downs. BB said "we'll line up with a full back and kick your Ass." Is like to see that more..... a whole lot more. Oh... and don't kick the football to Christian Freakin Kirk over and over. That would be cool too.

BB teams always start out slow because they are always out of shape. In lifting shape but not running shape. He might have been able to get away with this in the B10 because they play so many cupcakes but every year it takes our players 3-4 games to get in enough running shape to compete. JMO

[MemphisBossHog]

Agree.  As if A$M didn't make their own mistakes.  It goes both ways.

We lost because they were better.  Even with all the freshmen they played.  Talent was the difference.  We aren't close.

thats it in a nutshell.  Talent kept them in the game and talent won them the game. Keith Ford ran in a TD from like 25-30 yards. Mond had a 79 yard run.  Kirk did what he did.  Their defense loaded up and was stronger and faster than our bad offensive line and they sacked Allen 6 times and forced him into many many mistakes that cause him to get up and pout.

The coach at ARK is either going to have to upgrade the talent level of the overall roster OR he is going to have to be an innovator who is creative and does something different because right now BB wants to be Bama and play like Bama but he has talent equivalent to Bama's 3rd and 4th strings.  It aint working.  Talent and recruiting are the life blood of any program and Ark just doesnt have as much as most other SEC schools.  The proof is in the recruiting rankings.  It points to mediocrity in Fayetteville.

1. True

4. True

5. True, but the play calling when Allen got picked was worse

6. It was a good call, we just didn't tackle that big Aggie slime ball who waddled to the 50

7. True, but Hayden is as good or better.  Hayden and Williams need to 1a and 1b

8. Wrong.  See No. 4

I felt like that way against Fl A&M. We do not have the talent or speed.

[Iwastherein1969]

Name one team in the SEC that we will be favored to beat ?  Maybe Mizzou, maybe.  We are the worst team in the SEC and it's really not that close. We have a 5th year senior starting at QB and Aggie starts a freshman.

[Rzbakfromwaybak]

Well, I just can't see how things are really going to get better.  This is coach BB's 5th year, & we have lost 4 out of the last 5 games we have played.  Don't believe most fans see that as improvement.

We lost due to Brett, nothing else.

[12247]

You folks can talk talent all you wish but we were facing freshmen on offense today.  Let that soak in, freshmen.  And some of those were not starting the first game of the season.    we can always use better talent but right now we are in emergency mode for some decent coaching.  BB is and always has been holding this team back all 4+ years.  When your best players are the ones with the least exposure to this coaching staff, that should tell you where the problem is.

[hawgXi]

Good point

[nchogg]

Offensive line was pretty bad for the most part. AA running for his life, getting sacked, not enough solid blocking, receivers not on route and sometimes dropping the ball and the special teams play on KO sealed it for A&M. Very disappointed.

[HiggiePiggy]

The refs even helped us in this game and we still couldn't capitalize. 

[bondhue]

Don't watch any more games and send any tickets to BB.

Am I imagining things or has your tune changed from what it was before the game?

[Dr Carl aka Shorthog]

IMO we are a better team, especially offensively. We gave up too many big yardage plays. A real coach would have won by two touchdowns.

Someone needs to coach the TEs on where the end line is. Two games in a row where TD opportunities were squandered by poor football IQ and awareness.

Now that is close to the truth!!

[Jek Tono Porkins]

Just got back home from the game.

Offensive line looked atrocious. Clary shouldn't be starting at guard, there were numerous times where he just got ragdolled. They gave up big penetration on running plays and AA was sacked numerous times.

Meanwhile, the Defensive line could not get pressure on Mond to save their life. There were multiple times where he just had all day to throw. A lot of those throws ended up being overthrown but that's a problem that is going to bite our ass in the future.

9 penalties. 9 of them. Isn't this supposed to be hard-nosed, disciplined football? The new guy at RT, Ramirez, at one point had a false start and followed it up the next play with a holding call. With this offense those penalties are absolute drive killers.

Year 5 and CBB still hasn't figured out that special teams are often times the difference between a win and a loss. If it wasn't for Dan Skipper I would say Arkansas has had the worst special teams in college football over the past few years. Even with Skipper and his blocked field goals we're still probably one of the worst.

[kiddhog]

when we got any lead , offense played ultra conservative .  Run - run - pass on 3rd and long . we never took advantage when we had the lead .  i was almost pulling for us to have to score at last minute ( to force offense ) to be forced to score . i just think CBB overall conservative (entire game plan) continues to cost us wins.

Yeah, but didn't Skipper cost us one or two aTm games with undisciplined penalties -- I believe one was a tripping penalty. (My memory isn't great because I am trying to forget this pitiful era if Hog football). Comes down to lack of discipline, lack of fundamentals and ultimately, lack of coaching. Same story year after year....now we get to his this year's Toledo game. Is it actually posible we will get rolled by Aggies two weeks in a row?

Yep, never Brett's fault. Pitiful.
