How did Hog and CFB fans react to the Golden Boot Rivalry Game?

Same story, second verse.

The Arkansas Razorbacks burned themselves on several occasions with ill-advised timeouts in the third quarter. Then, almost ending drives before it began by repetitive false starts in LSU territory. The Razorbacks took a 10-point lead in the second quarter but couldn’t contain Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas, Jr. from gashing the defense during the second half.

Neither the Hogs or Tigers could stop either offense as each team scored on every drive after halftime. Both teams were above 60-percent on third down conversions while completing passes for nearly 10 yards per attempt. The Hogs kept the LSU offense off the field with solid clock management but big plays were killer in the second half with the Tigers finding open field of 20+ yards on 7 plays.

Here was my immediate thoughts regarding the 34-31 loss in Baton Rouge. Moral victories shouldn’t be accepted during year for of a coaching tenure. This team still displays fight and holding onto the rope that they are close to winning many football games this fall.

This Arkansas team HAS the talent to compete like this each week.

Sam Pittman pushed the right button pregame for the energy and motivation of this Razorback team to come out and nearly pull of an upset of the #12 team in the country.

Penalties nearly killed momentum on…

Thank you Sam Pittman and the Arkansas Football program for your support of Greg. This is bigger than football. Please continue to keep the Brooks family in your thoughts and prayers. https://t.co/xHoplXwj3i

Overall a performance to be proud of. If this was the 1st loss of the year I wouldn’t be mad…but it isn’t.

Penalties and red zone struggles absolutely killed us. We didn’t execute at all, and that falls on the coaching staff. LSU was the better football team.

Arkansas had 14 penalties against BYU and another 11 tonight against LSU. The Razorbacks are playing ugly, undisciplined football and it’s costing them games.

My relationship with Arkansas football may be more emotionally abusive than my marriage

2 weeks, 2 gut wrenching losses.

The Pittman era is done with “moral victories”. This is year 4. We gotta win those types of wins. Not spend 2 timeouts early third for a FG.

I dn man, that second half penalties was awful awful football. I’m rambling, but that’s all i got

Nope, don’t want to hear it. The feel good, played better than last week, we hung in there, the whole “moral victory” talk. Is that what Arkansas Football is now? Nothing but a program of moral victories? Sure seems like it lately.

— Jordan Vance (@jordanpvance) September 24, 2023

In 2022-2023, Arkansas football is
9-8.

2-6 in one score games.

One score games keeping the Hogs from 15-2 over the last 17 games.

With the clock winding down and no timeouts at their disposal, should Arkansas have allowed LSU to score to preserve time for KJ Jefferson and the offense to fight for overtime?

Arkansas needed to let LSU score there.

— Felt Football (@FeltFootball) September 24, 2023

Why would you not let LSU score with no timeouts??? Gonna let it run down to no time on the click and let them win it with a FG… Arkansas football man

— Woody (@blake_wood12) September 24, 2023

Would be cool to have some of those timeouts. Undisciplined football/poor timeout management tosses Arkansas another L.

Otherwise, gutsy performance by the offense to do their damndest to win

Shoutout to KJ Jefferson who tied Matt Jones’ school record for total career touchdowns with 77.

Luke Hasz had a huge breakout performance in his fourth college football game ever. The Bixby, (Okla.) native caught six passes for 116 yards and 2 touchdowns on the night. Is he in line to become a Freshman All-American? He’s certainly playing like one.

Arkansas TE Luke Hasz maybe the next great TE in football. This kid is a true freshman and has been WITHOUT QUESTION the best player on the field tonight

Even outsiders were entertained by the LSU-Arkansas game.

Some of the college football today wasn’t worth watching. Arkansas & LSU is a good game. #collegefootball
