It's not what most expected, but the Hogs go into halftime up seven points.

Arkansas and Auburn came into this game with a spread offense that has the potential to score on every play and defenses that have given up their fair share of points. But lo and behold, only one touchdown has been scored. Arkansas's defense has forced four turnovers but has only seven points to show for it.

On the other hand, Auburn's consistent pressure on Taylen Green and punishing physicality has caused a bevy of mistakes (shocker) that have kept the Hogs from driving down the field.

The biggest concern going forward, however, has to be the kicking game. The Razorbacks should be up 10-0, but Kyle Ramsey missed a 41-yard field goal. If you can't make field goals from inside 50 yards, it puts too much weight on the offense. It might be time for Arkansas to look at another kicker soon.

At some point, the mistakes become the identity of a team. Hopefully, Arkansas get control of theirs before it consumes this season.
