The Morning After: This Arkansas Loss will sting for Awhile

[Harry]

DENVER, Col. - Arkansas built a big lead and appeared to be on their way to a second win in as many games. But then a series of events led to Colorado State rallying to take a 34-27 victory on Saturday night.

Some series of events led to Arkansas losing after holding a 27-9 lead with 7:28 remaining in the third quarter. The Hogs appeared to be ready to put the game away when Deon Stewart returned a punt 45 yards to the Colorado State 28.

However, on first down Cole Kelley threw to Jordan Jones who was unable to come down with a foot in bounds. After a review, the call on the field stood and the Hogs had a second-and-10. Kelley then rushed for three yards. A false start on true freshman Noah Gatlin moved the ball back to the Colorado State 30. On third-and-12, Kelley threw to Chase Harrell who couldn't come down with the pass. Connor Limpert then attempted a 47-yard field goal that was no good.

The Rams immediately went on a seven-play, 70-yard drive that ended with K.J. Carta-Samuels passing four yards to Preston Williams for a touchdown. Carta-Samuels added the two-point conversion with a pass to Cameron Butler. That pulled the Rams to within 27-17 with 2:46 remaining in the third quarter.

Hopefully Fine and company will replace that “sting” with a new sting and they can forget all about Colorado State.

I like how they said their running game was almost nonexistent in their first game. Yes, they torched CSU in that category, but I like our run defense so far. We held SMU in check and that was supposed to be their strength.
