7-sack day

Nobody attacked the Razorbacks’ passing game like Missouri did, as the Tigers notched seven sacks for 36 yards in losses to continually put the Hogs behind the chains.

“I mean, they had a good game plan,” quarterback KJ Jefferson said. “They disguised some things. They brought different stunts and pressures. They had a great game plan versus us and they executed it well.”

Arkansas offensive tackle Dalton Wagner agreed.

“Isaiah McGuire, he’s a high-level pass rusher, definitely a draft guy, definitely going to play in the league for a long time,” Wagner said, referencing the Tigers’ defensive end who had two first half sacks. “You know [they] gave us some trouble out on the edge there, but overall we’ve got to strain. We’ve got to be better to give KJ a shot to make the plays.”

The Tigers got sacks from edge rusher and pressure up the middle as Pittman said the Hogs were physically dominated.

“We couldn’t handle the edge,” he said. “And when we did handle the edge we got way too much pressure, push in the middle. And there was no place for KJ. There wasn’t any room. There wasn’t any areas for him to escape.”
