Fans, Former Players, and Media Reactions To Hogs’ Loss To Rebels

OXFORD, (Miss.) — Once again the Razorbacks were on the bitter end of yet another one possession loss on Saturday against Ole Miss. It’s not actually the losses mounting up that are the issue but how they are happening. Play calling on offense has left much to be desired and that may be discounting the concern. It is completely inconsistent how on one series plays seem to be clicking but instead of continuing to call what works, they go back to running on all three downs leading to a punt.

A week after not committing a single penalty, the Hogs returned to their usual ways with ill-timed fouls. One can live with a player making a mistake with formation issues due tot not playing a whole lot. But, continually displaying a lack of composure on the line of scrimmage is alarming. The question of how this is not being addressed or fixed is a huge issue. College Football is six weeks into the season, if undisciplined play hasn’t been fixed at this point it will remain an issue.

There were several issues and fans, former players and media members alike continue to share their frustrations on social media. Here are just a few of the comments made throughout Arkansas’ loss to Ole Miss on Saturday.

It’s such a shame that this Arkansas defense has this Arkansas offense opposite it.

I spent the last week trying to defend Arkansas offensive line.

I’m done.

There’s no excuse for them to be this bad

Sam Pittman is now 5-12 in games decided by 7 points or less. Has won just 1 of the last 7.

Arkansas falls to 2-4 on the season with a fourth-straight loss. Hell of a game by the defense. Offense was pretty awful. Again. Ole Miss 27, Arkansas 20. #wps

Arkansas fans literally want to fire Sam Pittman every time the Hogs lose. They won 4 games in 2 years prior to hiring Pittman. They really need to learn their place in the SEC. You’re not Bama. You’re more like Mississippi St.

I can’t handle Arkansas football right now. It just makes me sad and angry every weekend. I’m so upset right now.

This is disturbing for a Razorback offense that’s averaged 230 yards per game over the past two seasons.

Arkansas in the last 6 quarters:

54 rushes for 51 yards.

And here’s the ST snafu. Goodness. Arkansas has had 3 straight 3-and-outs & had INT on the 3rd play of the 2nd drive. D battling, but you can’t just keep throwing them out there with O generating nothing. Offense is just horrendous, so far. Can’t block, can’t throw or get open.

At the end of the 2022 season, Arkansas ranked 7th in the nation in rushing with 236.5 yards per game…currently the Hogs are 98th out of 130 teams in rushing with 126.6 yards per game. Passing was ranked 63rd @ 233 yards per game, currently it’s 93rd out of 130 teams at 215…

Seldomly used tight end Ty Washington has been productive when called upon during the two games he’s actually played in. Three touchdowns on eight career receptions tells us he deserves playing time. Will he elevate his play with Alabama looming?

This is the worst Arkansas offense to watch since the Chad Morris era.

ARKANSAS CONVERTED A QB SNEAK.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Sam Pittman is a great man, a great leader, a great character.

With that being said, I think it’s very fair to say that his time at Arkansas might’ve ran its course.
