Turnovers Affecting Arkansas Football Performance
Successful football programs emphasize the importance of playing complementary football, where offense, defense, and special teams work together to manage field position, clock, and other game intricacies.
Arkansas has struggled to achieve this harmony, evident in their 2-4 start. The team's issues include a poor turnover margin, with the offense committing too many turnovers and the defense failing to secure enough takeaways.
The Razorbacks know they have to solve that disconnect to be competitive under interim coach Bobby Petrino during the second half of the season.
The timing of turnovers and the defense's inability to regain possession in end-game situations have also been problematic, as seen in narrow road losses at Ole Miss, Memphis, and Tennessee.
The team will attempt to address these issues starting Saturday against No. 4 Texas A&M (6-0, 3-0 SEC) at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
