The Ugly: Arkansas' offensive line, wide receivers

Taylen Green was sacked six times on Saturday. Tyrone Broden let a pass slip right through his hands, which led to a Texas interception. CJ Brown fumbled with Arkansas driving while down 10 points. All of those mistakes are unacceptable every week, but especially when you're playing a team as goof as Texas. Teams like the Longhorns are opportunistic and can overcome a poor effort of their own if their opponent gives them the opportunity, which is exactly what Arkansas did on Saturday.

Green was under pressure all afternoon, and the aforementioned mistakes by Arkansas receivers completely changed the outlook of the game. Arkansas' offensive line seems to be largely porous for the second year and a row, and the clutch gene remains missing from Arkansas' skill players. Those simply aren't assets you can beat Texas without, and they proved to be the difference in Saturday's game.
