Defensive adjustments at half...

[rocketman]

 Credit where it is due! Defensive adjustments at halftime held Arkansas to 3 points in the 3rd period. At the 11 minute mark of the 4th Texas led 52-23. Game over, substitutes hit the field. Two meaningless scores inside 8 minutes . One with 7 plus and one at :16 seconds.

Reason for mentioning it is the piling on about giving up 37 points as if the first unit didn't stop the pigs. Let's be accurate. Texas buried Arkansas in the second half and played most of the 4th with  a litany of substitutes. Nice adjustment after the half.

But Arkansas also lost their starter at QB.

He was benched. He missed a series after his stupid INT, but was available to return. Petrino had seen enough.

I think they just wanted to shut him down. No sense in getting him hurt in a meaningless game and season for them TBH.

I was just relaying what Petrino said in his post-game comments.

The backup was an improvement. I believe we shut them down for 4 series before he went out.
