Dazmin James shines in the first half, Arkansas stumbles in second quarter

Arkansas leads Texas Tech 24-19, heading to the locker room in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

For a moment, it looked like another team had stolen Arkansas's uniforms and played in their stead. On the first three possessions, the Razorbacks scored three touchdowns on nine total plays. It was their most impressive display since playing UAPB in the first game of the season. But of course, it's still the same-ol team donning the cardinal and white.

In the first quarter, Arkansas recorded 260 yards to Texas Tech's 172. However, in the second, it was 81 to 174, respectively. The Hogs hit a wall of their own making, with dumb mistakes. Backed up to his own endzone, Taylen Green took a delay of game penalty and was sacked the subsequent play for a safety. With momentum, the Red Raiders drove 69 yards for a touchdown. Arkansas then fumbles and goes three and out its next two drives.

Arkansas finished with a field goal to end the half, but it gave up a 21-3 lead in the second quarter. This has the makings of a repeat of the Oklahoma State game. Arkansas is by far the most talented team on the field, but they keep shooting themselves in the foot.

On the bright side, Arkansas may have its next star wide receiver already on the roster. Dazmin James has broken out with 137 yards and a touchdown, including his first career reception for 94 yards, the longest touchdown reception in Arkansas football history.
