One-possession games were the death of the Razorbacks under Bret Bielema. That is, until this October rolled around.
Arkansas was 0-9 under Bielema in one-possession games through his first two-and-a-half seasons in Fayetteville. However, the team has won each of its last two such games: a 24-20 win at Tennessee on Oct. 3, and now a 54-46 quadruple-overtime win against Auburn today.
Let’s take a look at the Hogs’ one-possession games under Bielema, and the team’s recent change of fortunes.
