The Razorbacks survive UAB, 37-27

A win is a win, but there's much to be worried about with this Arkansas team.

The Hogs pulled away in the second half, outscoring UAB 17-7. Apart from the scoreboard, there wasn't much to be happy about with this afternoon's performance. Taylen Green threw for 161 yards, completing only 42 percent (11-26) of his passes. All but 24 of those 161 yards were earned by Andrew Armstrong.

The former FCS transfer has set himself apart as a true No. 1 wide receiver for Arkansas. After missing the first game of the season, Armstrong has produced two games of 135 yards or more, averaging 150.5 yards a game. Strangely enough, he has zero touchdowns on the season. Instead, Ja'Quinden Jackson claims most of the touchdowns, scoring his FBS-leading sixth score of the season. The Utah transfer also gained 147 yards on the ground, bringing his season total to 397 yards.

The defense looked like a different squad today, acting lethargic and uninspired. There was no sense of urgency, especially in the first half, and the Blazers did whatever they wanted. Thankfully, the Hogs put a stop to that in the second half, only giving up 38 yards rushing.

On the other hand, UAB still had a relatively easy time passing the football. The Blazers passed for 235 yards, while Arkansas only produced one sack. However in the game's final minutes, Landon Jackson put pressure on Jacob Zeno, getting his hands on the ball twice, with one leading to the game-clinching interception.

Altogether, it was the inverse of last week's game against Oklahoma State. Instead of playing well and losing, the Razorbacks played their worst game so far but managed to pull out a win.
