What Bret Bielema said after bad loss to Missouri
The Razorbacks went to halftime with a 24-7 lead on Mizzou, but left Faurot Field falling 28-24 to the Tigers.
On Twitter, many fans and media members are calling it the worst Arkansas loss of the Bret Bielema era.
Here’s what the fourth-year coach had to say to the media:
Bret Bielema: We didn't match Missouri's second half intensity
— Razorback Nation (@RazNation) November 25, 2016
BB: Being unable to convert really hurt us. I got after our guys after the game
— Razorback Nation (@RazNation) November 25, 2016
BB on not kicking FG with 6 min left: I didn't have a good enough confidence
— Razorback Nation (@RazNation) November 25, 2016
BB: We didn't execute all throughout. There's a spattering of responsibility

BB: We had 2 good opportunities at the end, just couldn't capitalize

BB: J-Red was ruled out at halftime. He tweaked his knee

Bret Bielema on his coaching staff: "I'm not going to make any changes" before or after the bowl.

BB: Once they started dictating, we struggled

Good game to Arkansas. We needed this game more than you guys needed it. This is for more for just a football trophy for us today. Our Tigers of Columbia have had the worst of fortune fall on us lately and this win gives us fans the hope we needed to believe that maybe, just maybe we have started to right the ship at least a little bit. For us to come out in the 2nd half and not just lay down? Shows my horrible football team still has a little Mizzou pride in them. Odom said something to them or made some kind of adjustments. Something I never seen Gary Pinkel do much of if ever. Pinkel being down 24-7 still loses the game. Probably gets blown out. Odom’s team actually clawed back into it and won.
Arkansas fans-You guys are going to eventually be pushing everyone around in the trenches. Trust me. Bret builds elite lines in the trenches. Give him a little more time is all. You win in the trenches? You end up seeing those victories on the lines translate Wins. You guys will be hell to deal with going forward.
Classy
Want some more pulled pork? This year in the SEC, it is what they feed Tigers.
Wooooo PIg
We lost to the worst team in the SEC on the other hand the wife and I came over from Kansas City to watch the game great atmosphere at your stadium
Thanks, i think, Yes the game atmosphere was fun for both fan bases. Now on conference rank?? I’m not sure “worst’ applies to any SEC team. One of the marks of a great conference is that match ups or weekly performance or coach preparation, or luck regularly decides outcomes. In such conferences the media and even the records are often misleading.
giess the east is closing the gap
Good comment. I’m glad that somebody noticed.
If i could like comments i would like this one a thousand times. The East isn’t nearly as weak as we were made out to be
Still think UT wouldn’t be able to outscore Arkansas now?
Not going to replace any coaches ?
Oh thats right, last year you hired a head coach from a school that had no defense to coach our Dbacks and they went from very bad to the worst defense in school history !
I say we get a squad of pom pom girls to play Dbacks next year , they damn sure can’t do any worse ! After a whole season and CBB says he has zero confidence in his defense.
Just remember when Les refused to make a change in his staff it cost him his job. Lastly I get sick and tired of CBB saying we will have to look at the film and own it. Some one needs to own it and step the hell down. Worst defense ever at the U of A !
I just don’t get it….. When Are “WE” Going To Start Playing FOUR QUARTERS Every Game.
I’m Sure ‘Show-me’ Appreciates All Arkansas Did For Them (like going to sleep) In The Second Half. Shame Shame, Tigers Go No-Where For A Bole and Hogs Might As Well Stay Home, There Are No Half Bowl Games To Win!
NO CHANGES!!!!!!! I will personally drive up to Fayetteville and pack Robb Smith’s bags for you if you won’t!! HE HAS GOT TO GO! BEING HISTORICLY BAD ON DEFENSE EARNS GETTING FIRED!!!!
4 points is not a bad loss. BB could have said we had a first half of football where we did a lot right and deserve some credit for that…. and he could have said Hog quarterback and running back played great games all the way through. He could have said the Hog fans showed up in force and were a force. On a cold day they played good football in Columbia Missouri. He could have praised his offensive line, and play calling. I hate it when fans and reporters ignore the positives and cry like spoiled brats.
Losing to Missouri makes it a bad loss….
If you like the SEC west so much why are you patronizing a Missouri win blog. You are a closet Missouri fan and you live in someones closet in Missouri. If you had come out of your closet and actually gone to the game, you would have been enlightened.
You must be slow…. You said 4 points is not a bad loss….Like I said, losing to Missouri makes it a bad loss.
get a clue dude, the fans are seeing exactly what the talking heads on the internet, in the papers, and on radio talk shows are seeing and talking about, the defense went from very bad to the worse in school history, check the numbers, they don’t lie, no spoiled brats here just fans that know the game of football and see the worst loss of the season to the cellar rats of the east. Bad loss is way off base, it was the worst one this year. Oh by the way , nice crowd at the game, looks like you couldn’t pay fans to see that mess you put on the field.
Not even you, can figure out what you just tried to write.
I’ve always said they should be named Arkansucks.
a class act, like most of the green tooth tide fans
You took a shot at Bama fans because of a comment made by a Auburn fan. Don’t let the logo fool you. Look at his posts……….Dumba$$
your logo looks the same as his, maybe its your sisters husband…ya’ll look to have at least 2 brain cells each.
Dumba$$…..
Go play in a crap bowl and embarrass the SEC just like South Carolina
I agree with you on both comments
Look here, another bandwagon Bama fan.
Putting their feelings of self worth in a bandwagon doesn’t doesn’t quite fulfill their hopes and dreams, so they put on their cheerleading skirts and pretend to know something about a second program, puff out their training bras and pretend to be the conscious of a conference.
He is not a Bama fan. He is a Auburn fan. All you have to do is look at his posts……..
Bielema and Arkansas are pathetic! – overall conference record of 10-22 since becoming coach is comical. Time to fire his fat ass and hire someone that knows what they’re doing.
