#10 Arkansas vs. Missouri State 2022

#10 Arkansas rallies to defeat former head coach Bobby Petrino and the Bears, 38-27. It was the first meeting between the two squads since 2011 and the win improved the Hogs to 8-0 in the all-time series.

A few thoughts:
1. Bobby still has it. Called a great game and has a well coached squad.
2. Defense made plays when they had to and was dominant in the fourth other than one play due to poor tackling technique. Tackling has to get fixed by the secondary or it will cost us a game or more. The amount of YAC being put up is absurd. I think we will have a solid defense if that is corrected. Defensive line and linebackers were solid, although Bumper had an off game. 8 sacks!!
3. Other than the bizarre fourth and nine call, no complaints about the offense. The fumbles/drops were very uncharacteristic. Hard to be upset about 600 yards of offense. Pass pro was excellent.
4. I hate that the broadcast did such a poor job of showing how electric/loud the crowd was in the fourth. The punt return might be the loudest I've ever heard that stadium.

What a great Arkansas victory. Now let us never speak of this again

Drew Sanders is A stud. What a game. All those point and yards in 3 quarters, wow. Now the gauntlet. Let's go Hogs.

Bobby petrino is one of the greatest coaches of the 2010s and was able to get several transfers from division 1 schools..good schools on top of that, I knew this was going to be a much closer game than on the surface level

[greeniegreens]

Something lost in all of the dramatics of this game: this was Arkansas’ first win as a top 10 team in a long time. Since 2011 I believe

[brianbohannon]

That Bryce Stevens punt return gave me flashbacks to my childhood... yall know what I'm talking about. Top 10 game when it really felt like we needed some flare, and we got Joe Adams' houdini play. Same sideline too

#1 We won. #2 We did a lot of good things - 8 sack’s, monster hits, total offense, come from behind win. Our D made stops when it was go time. Yes we have some clean up to do. The team should not be listening to the point spread, and the prognosticators that we will win by 4 TD’s - for any game. That’s what rookie freshman do. Focus on ALL the positive stuff we did. In Sam we trust.

[greeniegreens]

I’ve heard a lot of negativity around Arkansas’ defense in this game, but they were on the field for the majority of the time. Especially early on, Arkansas just kept turning the ball over and forcing the defense to get back on the field.

[thunderbunny-]

Well, our secondary is the weakness and petrino knows how to pass the ball, wasn’t ideal but after watching that I’ll take a win no matter what it looks like. 3-0 is still 3-0

[ageminiguy]

Much needed wake up call. I’m glad we won. Petrino can stay out of Fayetteville, now. Please and thank you.

2018-2019 Razorbacks lose this game, they get slaughtered…

[redleg]

Whew! That was a close one! But I'll take the W every time! Kudos to Petrino and his team.

[johnterell]

That fourth and one, I knew it was coming. Play action, tight end out wide open, touchdown. He ran that every chance he got at Arkansas, and Chris Gragg got easy tds from it. I screamed at my TV hoping they'd hear me. BP is a good coach, and offensive genius, he should be coaching top 25 somewhere.

[ebillicus]

Agreed, Bobby will once again be the coach of a top 25 FBS team in the next 5 years imo. This game definitely showed how bad we need Catalon and Slusher. If those two come back healthy soon, I think our defense will be just fine. Could be the first time in a long time that there doesn't seem to be a glaring weakness somewhere on the field, we desperately need them against A&M next Sat. A&M is going to be looking to make a statement and if we don't have either improvement or those two back from injuries, could be a very long day

[bigmanross]

Our team will get things together and get going real good. Our front 7 is one of the best in the country and u know every team is going to try and throw on us instead of run cause of the injuries. But look at the bright side. If was just a short time ago that if we went down like that to anyone they would have shut down and lost the game. This team is way more ready and determined this year. Great job team and coaches. Go hogs baby next is A&M. Love the videos.

[andrew.barker]

3 years ago with Chad Morris when being down 17-0 that would've been game over. We wouldve panicked, and lost 50-10. Thats what makes Pittboss great. He rallied the team and got them to keep fighting.

[jacksonlee]

They won. This team has a lot of heart. 3 years ago they would have folded after being down by 17 points.

[jaygodwin]

Arkansas needs to come into every game being the hunter and not the hunted. In other words, don't come out conservative, loosen up and got get the win. That is what I see in championship teams, watching Georgia and hearing what Kirby had to say after the South Carolina beat down. He said, we came out as the hunters and not as the hunted. To me, that is all you need to do. Still, i think this is a game we needed. Any other team folds under the pressure MO state brought. Now lets be the hunters!!!

[DynamicInChrist]

A lot of people down on Arkansas now
People don’t realize that over 26 players for Missouri state once played at a power 5 team
This game was like playing a TCU or a Michigan state
Don’t start to doubt this program

[randallbaker]

The defense better do nothing but tackling drills all week. Way too many missed tackles, nevertheless they stepped up and made plays in that fourth quarter and I'm just glad we won and hope this put us in the right frame of mind against A&M.
