The second-quarter performance was much better than the first, with the Razorbacks finally shifting into gear before halftime. Arkansas scored back-to-back touchdowns to knot up the game at 20 a piece.

The running game has been the cornerstone of this offense, with four players combining for 140 yards after only gaining 36 yards in the first quarter. Taylen Green and Ja'Quiden Jackson combined for 125 of those yards.

The passing game has been one of the worst performances I've ever seen in a Razorback game. Green has completed only three of his 14 attempts for 52 yards, with all three receptions going to Andrew Armstrong. You can't blame Green too much because the wide receivers have dropped at least two of his passes.

The defense made a couple of stops but still allowed UAB to gain an additional 100 yards and three points.

Hopefully, Arkansas will make the needed adjustments and settle down going into the second half. If not, this game could look like the last time Bobby Petrino coached in Razorback Stadium, the 2022 matchup against Missouri State.
