Silverfield cited offensive miscues that led to Auburn recording eight tackles for loss and five sacks in the second half, and Arkansas’s inability to slow Brown down.
“The quarterback is one of the most experienced in the country, clearly the most experienced in the SEC, and played like it in the second half, and we didn’t find a way to stop him,” Silverfield said of Brown postgame.
Silverfield went on to point out the difference in his team’s production from the first half to the second. The Arkansas head coach was pleased with his team’s efforts in the first half, but felt much was left on the table with two punts, an interception, and a missed field goal keeping the Razorbacks from creating separation from Auburn before halftime.
“When you look at what we did defensively, proud of that effort, the first half, they were really clean; we were able to wrap up, get off the field on third down and do a lot of great things,” Silverfield said. “Offensively, we did some decent stuff in the first half, obviously, which we could have capitalized a little bit more, so it wasn’t just a 10-3 ball game going into the half.”
