FAYETTEVILLE — Penalties continue to plague the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Through five games, the University of Arkansas is ranked 124th nationally out of 130 FBS teams in most penalty yards per game at 83.2.

The Razorbacks (4-1, 1-1 SEC) were penalized 13 times for 101 yards in their 37-0 loss at No. 2 Georgia on Saturday.

It’s the fourth game Arkansas has been penalized at least nine times, and it could have been much worse, considering Georgia declined three penalties and twice flags on the Razorbacks were negated because the Bulldogs were penalized on the same play.
