The Bad: Razorback defense collapses in crunch time
With 4:19 remaining, the Razorbacks led 21-20 and the defense had a shot to seal a win. A tipped pass on second down set up a third-and-nine for Missouri - which was converted after Brady Cook found a wide open Luther Burden sitting in the middle of the Razorback defense. In a similar fashion to Arkansas' 2020 loss in Columbia, the Tigers scored on their final possession with little resistance, as Cook scored on a 30-yard run before converting on the two-point conversion. Travis Williams' group has risen to the occasion several times this season, but Saturday afternoon was not one of those times.
Following Arkansas' win over Tennessee on Oct. 5, Williams was going to be one of the most sought-after coordinators in the country. However, poor defensive performances against LSU, Ole Miss, Misssissippi State and Missouri have left many wondering where the Hogs' once-dominant defense went.
