We were simply a few missed plays from winning

We shouldn’t ever have to say we missed a few plays where we could have won, if we played good football, we could make mistakes and still win

If you don’t commit stupid penalties, especially running into the kicker, then you win that game. It’s ugly, but you win. Also the Arkansas player with the “delayed” false start that negated the pick six was the most Tennessee thing ever.

“The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win”. That maxim stands the test of time. The team was not ready for this game at all.

Multiple games now where our play calling is very vanilla and predictable which one can only assume to mean CJH doesn't fully trust our offense. Our OL has struggled at times with protection and our WR seemingly don't consistently create separation. Add in the errant throws from Nico which were quite high this game and you get a road loss to Arky.

Bottom line...you have to score TD's to win in the SEC and we aren't doing that enough.

And? Most football games come down to a few plays going one way or the other. The point you seem to be glossing over is that our offense not scoring TD's in SEC play is now a very big thing which is very concerning as we go forward.

1. Nico overthrew Squirrel White on a long pass by about 2 steps which would have been a TD

2. We missed a safety by 1 yard in the first half…if we had that, we could have kicked a field goal at the end

3. The play near the end where Nico bobbled the snap and ended up being a short run by Sampson (we had to burn up a timeout) would have been a long pass play, it looked like we had someone open

This game could have gone either way. We are still on track to make the playoffs.

It goes the other way too. Arkansas could have beaten us pretty bad if a few plays went their way and didn't miss fg's.

Poor gameplan, penalties, o line play, clock management, 3rd down defense and everything else you can think of killed this game for us. Coming into the game, Arky was rated poorly at getting to the QB. Our line made them look like a tier 1 defense. They couldn't even stop them on the last drive sending 3 and we had 5 blocking.

PATHETIC performance all around

No. We were just a few missed plays from losing by 28 points. That game was no where close to what the score is.

A couple plays away from being 17-0 at halftime too. A bad roughing the passer from Green making the score even worse in the 2nd.

I think this is all still comes back to our o line. Nico had no time to make good decisions, TEs are being used for blocking more than yardage, WR don’t have time to get separation. O line is killing us.

Nico consistently taking too much time all season. Inexperience shows against SEC tight windows. Maybe on wr too .
