The Bad: Taylen Green's decision making

Let me lead with this: Green's overall impact on Arkansas this year has been largely positive. On Saturday, he made several impressive throws and was able to pick up a couple of first downs with his legs. However, he also held on to the ball too long on several occasions, and made the wrong read on a few read-option plays.

Green can make magic out of thin air, but he's a Jekyll-and-Hyde quarterback who can also make rash decisions that impact the outcome of the game. Just as he did against Ole Miss, Green put the football in danger, and was probably lucky to have only thrown one interception (which was not Green's fault). If Green returns to Arkansas for his senior season, his decision making - especially when he's under duress - must improve tenfold.
