The Razorbacks weren't fooled and weren't whipped, Arkansas third-year sophomore linebacker Freddie Fairchild said Monday.

They just goofed up, Fairchild opined of Kentucky running over the Hogs in the second half of Kentucky's 42-29 SEC victory last Saturday night at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

Kentucky had 8 carries for 8 yards when trailing 20-14 at half. The Wildcats finished with 170 yards on 36 totes for the game they took over with a pounding rushing attack complementing Kentucky's renowned passing game.

Arkansas well defended Kentucky's passing in the first half but was vulnerable by land and air during the Wildcats' 21-point fourth quarter.
Kentucky, Fairchild said, executed what Arkansas defensive coordinator Reggie Herring warned the Razorbacks to combat.


" Coach Herring told us they would come out running the ball because they had been passing and he thought they were going to try and switch it up, " Fairchild said. " We were prepared for it. We just made mistakes as a team. It wasn't the issue of being whipped up front or behind. It was mental errors on the part of everybody out there on the field. "
