Arkansas Razorbacks

What?

What in the?

Huh?

A week after a thrilling victory over Ole Miss, Arkansas laid an absolute dud and was destroyed at the hands of Auburn.

The biggest takeaway from this game on the Arkansas side is the absolute embarrassment of Rawleigh Williams. A week after using a devastating rushing attack to topple an SEC West foe, Williams was held to 22 yards on 13 carries.

If Auburn exposed how to stop the Razorback’s run game, this could be a long end to Bielema and Co.’s season.

Impact Moving Forward

-Growing frustration

It appears that Bielema is destined to be a slightly less successful version of Mark Richt. Every time it appears the Razorbacks are on the cusp of greatness, something like this happens.

Arkansas will consistently win 7-9 games and have a shot at an SEC Football Championship from time to tie. Will that be enough for Arkansas fans? I think not.

There is actually a better SEC football comparison for Bielema than Richt, and he’s always ready for some ‘heppin’ time.

Houston.

Dale.

Nutt.

Sorry Razorbacks, it appears your team is in a cycle of mediocrity right now.
