Bielema: Hogs need to run ball

FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema spent a considerable portion of his Monday news conference detailing the issues that led to the Razorbacks' 16-12 loss to Toledo on Saturday.

Bielema's takeaway: "That was a textbook definition, in my opinion, of how you lose a football game."

Bielema pointed out Arkansas' inability to establish its running game, particularly in the red zone, a variety of missed plays that could have turned the game's momentum, giving up third-and-long conversions to the Rockets and the Razorbacks' spate of penalties.

"Our offense functioned really well in the two minute, we just couldn't get in the end zone," Bielema said.
