Over the past 10 seasons, teams were 3-902 when trailing by at least 24 points. Arkansas, meanwhile, is just 21-8 since 2013 when leading at intermission, which ranks 104th in FBS.

I wonder how much better our record would be if we were able to play full games rather than just a half of quality football.  Speaks volumes about the adjustments that we are NOT making and the adjustments that opposing teams ARE making. 

I like Beliema, but man, something has to give.

According to Hogville, fantasy offense and passing 80 times a game wins championships.

Dang Bielema has been sinking this program for the last decade? That's amazing.

I'm not great at math, but I didn't realize it had been a decade since 2013. Time flies I guess. Oh and teams with a 24 point lead at half over the last decade had a 99.5 winning percentage. #uncommon

You guys do realize that in the first sentence they are referring to a ten year span for all of college football and in the second sentence how Arkansas has performed since 2013?  Hopefully that clarifies what the article is saying.

Teams are (numbers) when down by (this specific amount) at half. But Arkansas is (numbers) when up (by any general amount).

Not exactly the same thing, regardless.

Not simply adjustments at the half which appear to not exist. It's also lack of motivation at the half and in some cases as with the blowout losses or inexplicable ones to lesser opponents, before the game ever starts OR lack of depth to finish. ALL of which are ultimately the responsibility of the head coach. 
If I'm going to cheer players and coaches in victory, I damn sure ought to be man enough to stand with them in defeat.

Or one of the greatest collapses in Arkansas football history (in one game).

Correct, what they should have done is compared all teams from 2013 vs. Arkansas since 2013.  Either way I imagine that we are worse than the overall sample.
