Arkansas Bret Bielema embarrassed by upset loss to Toledo
Scratch all that preseason hype that Arkansas would be the surprise team in the SEC this

It came just four days after Arkansas

"If there's a silver lining in any of it ... it's not a conference lo s."Also halted was Arkansas'
Rock Ya-sin Jersey offensive identity. Known as a power-rushing team that feeds a stable of running backs plenty of opportunities, the Razorbacks' offense was much the opposite Saturday. Running back Alex Collins was held to 54 yards on 20 carries, while quarterback Brandon Allen fired 53 pa ses, completing 32 for 412 yards.Arkansas' top offensive lineman prospect, Denver Kirkland, left the game with an injury late
