Arkansas defensive coordinator Willy Robinson doesn't allow his players to make excuses. He demands toughness. So Robinson figured he'd fight through whatever it was that left him tired and feeling not quite right last week. Robinson was sick, but with a game to play, bowl eligibility on the line and other Razorback assistants fighting through an assortment of ailments, there wasn't time to waste going to the doctor... read more >

WHAT WE LEARNED Arkansas really, really wanted to become bowl eligible. We saw that when a group of players doused coach Bobby Petrino with water immediately after the needed sixth victory, but the Razorbacks aren't done yet. All the coaches and players made available after the game talked of extended their current three-game win streak and improving bowl stock. These next two games against Mississippi State and at LSU likely mean the difference between bowling in Memphis, Shreveport or Dallas.

Defensive coordinator Willy Robinson missed the game after being hospitalized and undergoing treatment for what the school called "an infection." Players elected Friday night in their final team meeting to dedicate the game to Robinson, who was rushed to Washington Regional Hospital in an ambulance earlier in the day.

Arkansas begins its 2009-10 basketball season Friday against Alcorn State and with so much offseason turmoil and five players suspended to start the season there seem to be plenty of questions.

Begging his players to talk isn't something Arkansas coach John Pelphrey usually finds himself doing. In fact, Pelphrey said he's usually asking them not to talk so much.

Arkansas has a growing wish list for improving its athletic facilities. Jeff Long, the UA's vice chancellor and director of athletics, envisions a basketball practice facility to complement Bud Walton Arena. He'd like to provide football with expanded office, lounge and locker room space. Should baseball continue to draw some of the nation's largest crowds, Baum Stadium might need extra seats. Student-athletes could use a more spacious academic facility... read more >

Arkansas might have done more than lose to Ole Miss on Saturday.
Coach Bobby Petrino knew it. And as painful as it had to have been for him to admit it to a roomful of reporters, he made it known just how damaging the 30-17 loss could potentially be, not just on Saturday or for the rest of the season, but longer term.

Twice now, Ryan Mallett has publicly asked that responsibility for the 23-20 loss at Florida be placed on his 21-year-old shoulders. He requested it immediately after the game. Given a couple of days and couple of restless nights to think about it, and given the opportunity to change his mind on Monday, Mallett again said the loss was his bad.

WHAT WE LEARNED: This team has improved tremendously since the Alabama game, including attitude and on-field play. Opponents should be wary of the Razorbacks from this point forward. Is this team good enough to win out? It doesn't sound as crazy as it might have going into last week.

Even without significant contributions from last year's top two playmakers, the Razorbacks are much better offensively thus far. Arkansas has upped its scoring average by nearly 16 points per game and its offensive yardage is up 89 yards per game... read more >
by Chris Bahn - Last updated on: 10/5/2009 7:42:36 AM
WHAT WE LEARNED: This team is resilient. Rather than get down after a road beating to Alabama, rather than get down at a 10-0 deficit early on, the Razorbacks got tough. That's a good sign, no matter the obvious talent disparity between Texas A&M and top-flight SEC schools.

Players from Texas high schools take up 20 spots on the Razorbacks' current football roster. Many of those players are key components of the team, including starting quarterback Ryan Mallett backup receiver Cobi Hamiton (both from Texarkana High), safeties Tramain Thomas and Matt Harris, defensive end Adrian Davis, middle linebacker Wendel Davis and offensive lineman DeMacrus Love. Injured cornerback Isaac Madison, also a Texan, was scheduled to start before blowing out his knee in fall camp.

WHAT WE LEARNED: Alabama is good, maybe even one of the best team's in the country. Arkansas made the Crimson Tide much better on Saturday.

Alabama fans will surround them, but that's the price a couple of guys pay for calling the Hogs in a world where the Tide is rolling.
Whatever grief they might get for their college football allegiances, it will be one of the easiest things Cody has ever endured.

WHAT WE LEARNED: Take away quarterbacks Ryan Mallett and Tyler Wilson and there were some alarming similarities to Arkansas in 2008. Defenders are still missing tackles at key times, the kicking game is still shaky and there is still work to do when running in short yardage situations. Arkansas can't afford those types of breakdowns against a quality opponent like Georgia, which visits Reynolds Razorback Stadium on Sept. 19.

Arkansas basketball practices have had a familiar rhythm to them so far this season. A roster loaded with newcomers have experienced just how much work it takes to get things right.
Run a play. Watch coaches explain want went wrong. Repeat the play. Coach John Pelphrey and his assistants have spent up to 30 minutes on some of the most simplistic concepts.

All the areas where Arkansas had made costly mistakes this season came through. Special teams provided a touchdown and three field goals. Finally, the Razorabcks scored in the first quarter. Most importantly, the defense made a fourth down stop in the final minute to keep Tulsa from potentially tying the game. Oh, 385 passing yards from quarterback Casey Dick didn't hurt either. It wasn't perfect, but the Razorabcks played well enough to win and kept their slim bowl hopes alive.

Yes, Arkansas is the next game on the Tulsa schedule. Sure, the Golden Hurricane have succeeded this season living by that trite and true football adage that every game mattering as much as the next.
That is true to a point this week for undefeated Tulsa (8-0). A victory this week would surely improve the program's standing - literally and figuratively.

No team in the SEC has gone for it more times on fourth down than the Razorbacks. They're 8 of 17 (47.1 percent), but opponents know the tendency is there and have to be prepared to defend when the punt team would generally be heading out.
Only 7 of the nation's 119 Bowl Subdivision teams have gone for it more times on fourth down.

OLE MISS 23, ARKANSAS 21
WHY ARKANSAS LOST: It's cliché, but Arkansas did too little until it was too late. Ole Miss was in control most of the evening thanks to Razorbacks mistakes and the Rebels led 20-7 with less than 15 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Breakdowns on pass defense and a missed field goal in the first quarter cost the Razorbacks dearly. It didn't help that Arkansas was flagged for a costly penalty while attempting a game-winning drive... read more >

WHAT WE LEARNED Bowl eligibility is becoming increasingly less of a possibility. Arkansas will have to win three of its remaining five games to have a chance at the postseason. Through the first half of the season it looked like close games belonged to Arkansas and blowouts favored Arkansas' foes. It's now apparent that the Razorbacks can lose heartbreakers too. Youth is a blessing and curse for Arkansas. Most of the playmakers are young, but they're also the guys making crucial mistakes. Casey Dick is wildly inconsistent, but that's nothing new. Teams can exploit the Arkansas defense for big plays on the ground and through the air. Did we mention bowl eligibility was severely damaged?

KENTUCKY 21, ARKANSAS 20
WHY ARKANSAS LOST: Turnovers — four of them in all — certainly didn’t help. Arkansas’ failure to punch the ball into the end zone in short yardage situations is equally to blame.

WHAT WE LEARNED Say what you will about the improvement the Razorbacks made, but make no mistake - This was still a blowout loss on the scoreboard. Arkansas has now been outscored 139-31 in three consecutive games and has a very slim margin of error. It's possible the Razorbacks aren't as bad as they've looked and the apprehension on Arkansas adding to its win total seems to have calmed a bit after a solid three quarters against Florida. There is still MUCH improvement for this team to make and it's going to take near-perfect performances to win with a defense susceptible to giving up the big play and an offense that can't seem to make big plays.

TEXAS 52, ARKANSAS 10
WHY ARKANSAS LOST: Honestly, this team just wasn't very good Saturday. Arkansas was dominated in just about every way imaginable by Texas, which tied its largest margin of victory this season. Quarterback Casey Dick was ineffective passing and could never get into a rhythm because of poor pass protection, and the Razorbacks ground game was able to make up for it. Texas recorded seven sacks. Arkansas was also bad on defense, giving up 421 yards and allowing the Longhorns to convert 7 of 12 third downs... read more >

WHY ARKANSAS LOST: Where to begin? Costly mistakes affected the Razorbacks on offense, defense and special teams. It was an early running into the kicker penalty on Elton Ford that allowed Alabama to extend a stalled drive and go ahead for the first time. Quarterback Casey Dick threw three interceptions, all of which resulted either immediately or eventually into Crimson Tide touchdowns and the defense continued to struggle stopping the run. Nothing went right for the Razorbacks. It showed.
