Arkansas fans torch Razorbacks after whopping number of penalties
There are numerous reasons why Arkansas has struggled in its road matchup against Georgia on Saturday. But perhaps none was more frustrating to Razorbacks fans than the team’s penalties.
With a little more than 5 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Georgia had a 34-0 lead at Sanford Stadium. At that point, Arkansas had 13 penalties for 101 yards, which made it tough for the Hogs to try to stay competitive with the Bulldogs.
Not only that, but Arkansas even got called for 3 penalties on the same play. That’s not something you see happen too often.
As the Razorbacks headed toward their first loss of the year, fans took to Twitter to voice their frustrations about the team’s penalty issues:
Arkansas is one flag away from having more penalty yards than total offensive yards. ??

On this drive, Arkansas has been called for three penalties on one play and just got flagged for two on one play. Yikes.

Takeaways from today's game:
-Georgia is the best team in the country
-Arkansas isn't there yet. We are a good team. I truly believe that. Most of us knew we weren't the 8th best team in the country tho.
-The special teams play as well as the penalties are absolutely inexcusable.— ???????ℍ??⚡️? (@Forever_A_Hog) October 2, 2021
Arkansas has had 4 weeks to settle down and quit committing penalties. They have 12 today. 12. Unreal.

Arkansas is going to be on highlight reel for the wrong reason!
3 penalties on one play is going to be on #NotSoTop10 “C’Mon Man” and maybe even “Shaqin a Fool” ?
