The Hogs dominated in tonight's matchup against Arkansas Pine Bluff in every way possible, which made social media a blast to keep up with.

Arkansas came out of the gate with purpose. The first play was a shot to Tyrone Broden that fell short, while almost being intercepted. Although the play almost ended in disaster, that attitude carried the team throughout the game. The Razorbacks scored on every possession, going ten for ten.

The Razorbacks completed their first shutout since 2018. The defense was aggressive and had a sense of urgency fans haven't seen since 2021. UAPB recorded 130 total yards, and only seven came on the ground.

Here are some of the reactions from social media:

Social media reaction

Arkansas goes viral for declining pregame penalty

UAPB was penalized for wearing black uniforms against Arkansas's home reds. The official said that they were "insufficiently contrasted" with Hogs. However, Arkansas decided against accepting the penalty, leading many on social media to praise the team.

Here we go

Arkansas took a shot to Tyron Broden who was almost intercepted on the first play. On the second, Ja'Quinden Jackson carried the ball toward the right and fumbled the ball out of bounds. Thankfully, the rest of the game wasn't as hectic.

First touchdown of the season

Speaking of Jackson, he had the honor of making the first touchdown of the season.

Defensive line

Nico Daviellier and Landon Jackson were overpowering UAPB's offensive line all night. However, it was the super senior Eric Gregory who got the first sack.

Where'd the game go?

Right before Taylen Green's first rushing touchdown, the ESPNU broadcast went down. Everyone watching from their homes missed it, but you can check out Arkansas's social media clip of the touchdown below!

Ja'Quinden Jackson is HIM

Jackson was off to the races on his second score of the game.

Taylen Green settles down

Green was shaky at first, but once he settled down, the Boise State transfer made a huge improvement. He finished with 229 yards through the air and completed 16-23 of his attempts for two touchdowns. He also had 88 yards rushing on eight carries for two more scores.

Matt Jones 2.0?

Green's last touchdown showed hints of vintage Matt Jones. Absolutely electric.

Another year, another rough time for fans at War Memorial Stadium
