Arkansas' Bielema: 'Tomorrow is going to be a long day'

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

Arkansas was humiliated Saturday against Auburn, losing 56-3 and giving up historic rushing yards to the Tigers.

After the game, coach Bret Bielema was direct about his team, which has dropped three of its last five contests.

"We have a lot to be concerned about at this point," Bielema said postgame Saturday. He added, "Tomorrow is going to be a long day, and it definitely won’t be fun."

Auburn recorded 543 yards on the ground, starting with a 78-yard touchdown on the first play of the game by Eli Stove, and never looked back.

"The guys had a good week of preparation. They were excited to get into the game, but obviously once that whistle started from the first play in that first quarter we didn't play well," Bielema admitted. "Defensively we definitely gave up too many free yards, too many things uncontested."

Arkansas heads into a bye week before facing Florida and LSU in back-to-back weeks.

"Easy to say we have to look at the defense, but we kind of have to look at everything," Bielema said.
