Arkansas builds big lead by halftime, but fans weren’t impressed by Hogs’ slow start

As expected, Arkansas has a lead against Arkansas-Pine Bluff at halftime. The Razorbacks started rolling during the second quarter, which allowed them to build a 45-0 advantage.

However, Arkansas fans weren’t too impressed early, considering the Hogs were playing an FCS school.

The Razorbacks led, 17-0, at the end of the first quarter, but they weren’t perfect. And it seems that some on Twitter wanted to see them be even more dominant against the Golden Lions. Maybe it’s because Arkansas had been struggling this month, losing its previous 3 games to Georgia, Ole Miss and Auburn.

Here’s some of the reaction from around social media as the Hogs started a bit slow (at least for what was expected):

Meanwhile… This has been a less-than-encouraging performance by Arkansas so far.

Seriously don’t know if Arkansas can win more than 1 SEC game at this rate. UAPB should already be down 4-5 possessions.

I don’t know what you do to get these penalties under control for Arkansas. It’s unacceptable!

Pretty sure I could assemble a group of sixth graders who could score on the arkansas defense.

Arkansas can’t even put away UAPB ?

Our offensive line just got absolutely man handled right there by Arkansas pine bluff and now our defense is awful.

Our @RazorbackFB defense was a wall with players flying to the ball against Texas and TAM. What has happened?

We need this bye week so bad. Our team looks exhausted

Andrew what’s going on with our defense, I know we have some injuries but we look unprepared
