The meat of the SEC has arrived for the Arkansas football team.
Saturday’s loss to Texas A&M, 23-21, was a stinger and slipped the Razorbacks from the ranks of the unbeaten. But it isn’t as though the Aggies actually outplayed Arkansas, either.
The Hogs will learn and the Hogs will grow. And they’ll do so quickly, especially as Alabama heads to Fayetteville in Week 5. Arkansas can still not only play spoiler to the perpetual national-title contenders, but a win would get the Razorbacks right back to where they were pre-A&M, too.
The schedule will not get easier. That’s the SEC. Arkansas has plenty of opportunity upcoming to get things back in the win column and make plenty of national noise in doing so.
