We had zero penalties against Alabama

[Fayettechill14]

Technically, we had one: a five-yarder on Breeding's kick out of the end zone. But no others. No false starts, no holding, no PI, no offsides, no personal fouls, nothing. I'm actually impressed with this (if nothing else).

[Divot]

Refs felt sorry for us.

[H&D]

Just shows we weren't playing hard.  And it's hard to get a PI when you are never within 10 yards of the receivers.

[Arkansas Fan]

Refs felt sorry for us.

Exactly what I was thinking.

[felixfan]

hard to get penalties when all you do is get punched in the mouth and stay on the ground.

Great! now we just need to fix that whole losing by 52 problem we have and we are golden.

[WashUhog6]

Unfortunately, that stat is negated by the 55 fumbles, and that whole 52 point thing.

[Tusks]

I see nothing positive about this.......52-0

That and no one getting hurt were the two positives other than that it was a pretty "gloomy " day

[Arazorbackguy1]

There was a game Saturday?

You, sir, are just not into moral victories.

[HoGustav]

Our unis were more fashionable too .

[Boardon Hamsay]

Our unis were more fashionable too .

Maybe the anthracite unis would have been worth 6 points.

[BRUTUS POUNDCAKE]

Our biggest penalty was standing on the sidelines trying to figure out what day it was....

I've always said that no team is ever going to play the perfect game.  Complete every pass.  Never let the other team complete a pass.  Don't turn it over at all, etc.

The same can be said for the worst game.  I'm guessing our lack of penalties saved us

[Hoggish1]

Perfect game...

[The Great Hambino]

We had zero points also...

If you are impressed by this in a game  where we got smashed 52-0 then you don't know football. We quit.  Hard to get penalties when you don't show any emotion and quit.

The only thing impressive about that game was Tyler Wilson's postgame comments after not even playing.

[hoghiker]

No penalties is at least something to build on. It's positive. One step at a time. If we can get that kind of focus on the defense, and yes, the offense, We might turn this thing around. I bet it was emphasized in practice last week. Let's give some credit where credit is do. I don't think we ever had a penatly free game under Petrino.

[hogwild210]

There were no penalties because there was no aggression.

[Wild Bill Hog]

Only shows how much faster they are than we are.  We couldn't get close enough to them to commit a penalty.

[Doyle Hograves]

No it's not. No penalties means you're not playing hard. The team quit. That is not positive.

[Ty Webb240]

Looks like we are turning the corner and moving in the right direction. 

[PonderinHog]

Looks like we are turning the corner and moving in the right direction.

But not too fast.  We don't want a penalty.

[TNRazorbacker]

Exactly the same number of points and only a few more yards.

JLS is a stickler for consistency.

[Blue35]

We had false starts but they were not called. Saban was upset by that.

Looks like we are turning the corner and moving in the right direction. 

Your seein' what I'm seein".

When you are not making maximum effort, it's easy not to jump off sides or move early.

[SquidBilly]

I'm surprised the refs didn't leave the clock running in the second half to speed things along as well.
