Deja Vu struck Arkansas against Memphis after fumbling away its opportunity for the second game in a row. It was followed by the Razorbacks giving up an 11-yard rush by Memphis' backup quarterback, nine of which he carried 6-foot-5, 390-pound defensive tackle Ian Geffrard on his back.
The Hogs' implosion rivaled any in recent history, relinquishing an 18-point lead and failing to score a touchdown in the second half. Arkansas' prolific (using that word lightly now) offense couldn't finish drives. Its defense gave up 154 yards rushing in the second half, including a 64-yard rush from Memphis running back Sutton Smith.
As one might imagine, fans on social media have had enough of it. Last week's heartbreak has turned into rage.

Another one score loss for Sam Pittman. This one might hurt worse than losing to Liberty’s 4th string QB at home!

Arkansas, man, I don’t even know what to say. Razorback fans have to be tough as nails because the way Arkansas loses — in pretty much every sport — is unprecedented.

No matter how bad you think your favorite school's luck is, Arkansas is worse.
— Aaron Torres (@Aaron_Torres) September 20, 2025
I promise you.
It's much worse.
That's Arkansas' 6th loss when scoring 30+ pts since 2023, which is tied for the most in FBS over span.

An utter collapse by Arkansas. Rosters aren't even comparable. Hogs give up an 18-point lead because they all too often compete like the game is over. Attitude. Effort. Terrible time for a fumble - AGAIN - but it NEVER should have come down to that. #wps

The effort by Arkansas’s defense was never worse today more than it was allowing the QB backup to plow for 8 yards for a first down in the final two minutes. What a deplorable display. It’s a shame because #23 had a helluva game and got screwed near end ofhalf. #doyouwanttowin?

College football fans wasted little time commenting on Arkansas' misfortunes. Opposing fans poked fun at the down-and-out Hogs while Razorback fans raged in the mentions of the official Arkansas football X account.

PUT THE TEAM ON HIS BACK FOR THE GAME-SEALING FIRST DOWN FOR MEMPHIS 🔥 pic.twitter.com/uFxKt07jas

Earlier this week, Hunter Yurachek put his foot in his mouth at the Little Rock Touchdown Club. After seven seasons as the athletic director at Arkansas, he told boosters and fans alike that Arkansas football wasn't "financially built" to win a national championship. Now, after Arkansas' poor performance against Memphis, fans are calling Yurachek out.

Just wake me up when someone in this athletic department actually starts caring about Arkansas football and does the right thing.

And, of course, the hot seat under Sam Pittman has never been hotter. At least one fan suggested reaching out to Memphis' head coach, Ryan Silverfield, to replace the sixth-year coach.
A lot of conversation about "what are realistic expectations for Arkansas football" this summer.
— Aaron Torres (@Aaron_Torres) September 20, 2025
Well, in the last two games - they have over 1,000 yards of offense - and are 0-2.
A competent HC and competent DC - and this is a 10-win team.
Unfortunately, they have neither pic.twitter.com/gBDFS7l4Io
Again. 2 weeks in a row. These aren’t coincidences. It’s sloppy culture. https://t.co/wpgkmxhJkD

Time for a change. Petrino should be Head Coach the rest of the year.
— Bobby Bones (@mrBobbyBones) September 20, 2025
It’s officially over for Sam. If we had a competent ad he would have been gone.
— Zachary Gourley (@x_zactly) September 20, 2025
Silverfield might just be the next Head Hog.
