No shame in a close win...

[Hunter10139]

Arkansas has a legitimately great offense this year, they just quit against ND. We took their best shot and got the win. We have to clean up the defense for sure but any defense would have a challenge to stop that offense. JMO.

 

[Manchester Vol]

We won brothers and sisters! Celebrate! Bitching is for losers.

Clean up the defense? The defense is flat out pathetic. I think it's more than just a cleanup that is needed, my friend.

This should satisfy the “just win baby” crowd

Simply do not understand what the defensive secondary is doing. Looks like dodgeball.

9 years with Willie Martinez, he has 1 year where they looked decent.

Some people will complain that I blame him, so I’ll point out he was Tim Banks’ DB coach in college and the reason Banks got this job.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Hell no. No shame at all. For anything. **** 'em. And everybody who looks like em.

We're missing star players, its hard to replace Gibson and McCoy.

Arkansas game is always ugly and the last few times we’ve lost, I’ll always take a win and I’m happy. That being said there was no reason for it to be that close. We got way too conservative at the end.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Agree, a win is a win but it sure doesn't give you a lot of confidence going forward.

Arkansas as been in our ass for over a decade now. Another streak snapped.

 

[mscc1998]

One penalty (Ark) for 10 yards. I wish we played that cleanly

Well one things for sure, unless Banks cleans up the defense he will be here in 2026 coaching defense.We need this year's offense with last year's defense. Hope they get this defense on the right track by the Alabama game, 5-1 ain't bad though, so tonight I'm happy.

I knew Arkansas would play us tough. They have a dangerous offense. Had some bad early season breaks. They will upset a team or 2 down the stretch, mark it down. We should have kept the foot on the gas at 34-24. Heupel got to obsessed with the clock at midfield and called some safe plays. We got to finish them type of deals. But still, he is a very good play caller otherwise. GBO

It was frustrating, but the way they've had our number, I'll take the win

Should have never gotten to within 3.

Again we witnessed a sackless coach without a killer instinct.

We hit a big first down with MK and then go into a shell instead of attacking and trying to score another TD.

Thank goodness on the last drive CJH did something different than 3 off tackle handoffs and punt.

When the strength of your team is offense then don’t handcuff them until you’re by fiddy.

That last sentence needs to be the headline on VN

Somehow the opposing team has borderline perfect play (according to the refs) quite frequently in our stadium. It's interesting.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

One missed FG from being 6-0.
That’s what I consider when I want to feel better.

 

[Nico ee-ah-MAH-LAY-ah-va]

Also keep in mind Arkansas had Ole Miss on the ropes too, who is currently a top 5 team.

 

[The Original Fade]

Game was way too close for the talent differential due to A) Defense is extremely suspect, and B) Heupel is soft with a lead late in games

So is accepting mediocrity.

I will never be pissy over a win. Good teams find ways to win

Arkansas had a lot to say about how the game went.
Tennessee proved to be the better team today, win by 1 or win by 100 our record is still 5-1.
