You know the worst part about that game? It was played at 3 pm. Mid-afternoon games in the SEC in August should be banned. Did Arkansas really want to put a 20-13 win over a middling FCS team on the SEC Network that badly? Just play it at 6 and put it on pay-per-view.
I had harsher words for the Hogs’ effort in that game... and then I looked at the advanced stats. They are, uh, not that bad. The final score was pretty much a fluke. Arkansas thoroughly outplayed Portland State and while there are definitely some concerns with the passing game, a lot of things can be chalked up to a very vanilla game plan.
