FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Sam Pittman threw his right arm up in the air in frustration after kicker A.J. Reed’s long field goal sailed through the uprights near the end of the first half Saturday.
That’s because Reed’s 54-yard kick did not count, and Pittman had to signal for his punt team to take the field. Rather than potentially carrying a 10-2 lead into halftime against No. 4 Georgia, the Razorbacks’ field goal unit was flagged for delay of game and Arkansas was forced to punt.
It was one of a number of special teams miscues for the Razorbacks in their 37-10 season-opening loss.
