While Razorback Nation remains split on Bobby Petrino’s offensive play-calling and quarterback Taylen Green’s performance, there’s one thing most Arkansas fans can agree on: frustration with the officials.
In what will go down as one of the most heavily penalized games in program history, Arkansas was flagged 18 times for 193 yards in last weekend’s loss to Mississippi State, shattering school records that had stood for 50 and 69 years, respectively. The Razorbacks blew a 14-point lead over the final 10 minutes and 16 seconds, with the penalty avalanche beginning midway through the third quarter.
It wasn’t just fans expressing disbelief.
