The Razorbacks survived UAB after a horrific first-half performance, and fans on X (formerly Twitter) had some mixed reactions. Some were very critical of the Hogs and aren't sure on how they'll perform in the upcoming SEC slate. Others used humor to dull their sadness.
However, most importantly, the Hogs won. It doesn't matter how ugly it got; the scoreboard reflected what the Razorbacks needed. Luckily, Arkansas exploded -offensively to outscore UAB 17-7 after going into halftime tied.

Woo Pig
Mike Irwin of Pig Trail Nation hits the nail on the head. Arkansas's offense was unorganized and sloppy at times, but it still put up 37 points. The defense looked tired and unprepared. One fan is just happy the Hogs were able to overcome their first-half woes.
Arkansas defense has completely regressed. It's clear that they were unprepared for an offense that has embarrassed them. Hint, players should avoid predicting a shutout in midweek pressers.

What a disaster the first half was. It’s all about setback for the comeback. WPS

Many Razorback fans have turned to humor, with one suggesting UAB's former opponent, ULM — who beat the Blazers 32-6 — might be a great team after the way UAB played the Hogs.
I hate Arkansas football

I will be taking the rest of the evening to drown my sorrows on Dickson… as always Hogs by 90🫥

The end of the game showed some promise. Wanted posters have been popping up all over Fayetteville, looking for Arknasas's preseason All-American, Landon Jackson. Although his stat line wasn't great, fans have finally found Jackson.
BTW Landon Jackson tipped the ball that Metcalf intercepted

UAB’s QB hasn’t made many mistakes this game. Metcalf made him pay as soon as he did. Phenomenal job by the D-Line on that play.

One special fan went to X to express her feelings. The mother of Dion Stutts — the Arkansas commit who tragically passed before making it to campus — Shante Stutts showed her and her younger son Dante's reaction.
Dante’ says, “Mama this is my coach. He is the best SEC coach in the world! We love Coach Pittman and the Razorbacks!!!” He blew that whistle the entire game. Glad we won and glad it’s over! #LLDS pic.twitter.com/8NyapblQne
