Arkansas coach Bret Bielema wasn’t happy with the way the Razorbacks played on defense in a 49-30 home loss to No. 1 Alabama on Saturday night.

According to WholeHogSports.com, the fiery coach said changes may be coming on that side of the ball:

“We have to take a hard look at what we are asking guys to do. Maybe we are asking them to do something they physically can’t do.”

Bielema’s biggest concern was that the Razorbacks allowed Alabama to get outside on several long runs:

“We didn’t set the edge and we had a couple of missed tackles,” Bielema said. “The biggest thing we talked about at halftime was there were a variety of times we lost the edge to our defense. They were able to run the ball around an edge on several different occasions and get some very, very quick yardage…set the edge.”

Bielema, always one to deliver a great quote, had this to say about a holding penalty called against Arkansas’ right tackle that led to a sideline tirade from the coach toward the referee:

“Obviously, you know that (Alabama) is very good up front,” Bielema said. “I asked the umpire and from my indication, he is watching guard to guard and that was a tackle. So I just wondered why he threw the flag.

“I was just trying to get information on that and I wanted to compliment him. He did a nice job and actually went beyond his job and called one of the tackles he shouldn’t be looking at. I just wanted to talk.”

The Razorbacks’ schedule doesn’t get much easier. The Hogs host Ole Miss next weekend.
