After the Arkansas Razorbacks suffered an embarrassing 63-31 loss to Ole Miss in Fayetteville, Arkansas, social media reactions, especially from devoted Arkansas fans and Arkansas sports journalists, revealed deep disappointment in the team’s performance. The Hogs did not perform well in all three phases of the game, offense, defense, and special teams. The most passionate reactions centered on the Razorbacks’ poor defensive performance and the coaching staff.
Social Media Reactions: Arkansas vs Ole Miss
Danny West, who covers the Hogs for 247 Sports, expressed frustration with how inconsistent the team is from week to week and highlighted how the team seemed not ready to play from the start of the game.
Ole Miss has the better team but Arkansas has been sleep walking since it kicked off. The inconsistency from week to week is wild.

Mason Choate, an Arkansas sports journalist at Rivals, disclosed how abysmal the Razorbacks have played in the last six games at home.
Arkansas has been outscored 214-87 in its last 6 SEC games at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville. The only win in that stretch was the 19-14 victory over Tennessee on Oct. 5. #WPS

Although the Arkansas Razorbacks had their worst performance of the season against Ole Miss today, they have another opportunity to upset a ranked opponent, No. 6 Texas, on November 16, 2024, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. However, the team, especially the defense and offensive line, must improve dramatically to avoid another blowout.
