We’re halfway through the year and a concerning trend has popped up for Arkansas. Their starts have been absolutely awful. After just over nine minutes against Alabama, the Hogs already found themselves down 21. While it’s not unusual to be down early to Alabama, it’s that it felt an all too common feeling from the rest of the year. The Hogs were down 14 early to Texas A&M, the Hogs gave up an early score to Auburn, and North Texas was up 17-0 before the Hogs could string a drive together.
Overall Arkansas has been outscored by 41 points in first quarters this year.
