In what may be some of University of Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long's first public comments since Saturday's 52-0 loss to No. 1 Alabama, Long took to Twitter to comment about Tyler Wilson and the direction of the team.
Long appears to support quarterback Tyler Wilson's strong comments made after the game. A snippet of those comments included Wilson questioning whether some players gave up during the game.
"Impressed with Tyler's desire to step up under tough circumstances last night," tweeted Long. "He and other players will show their Will to win."
Long also wrote that he was confident the Razorbacks (1-2) would turns things around this weekend.
"Visited Broyles Center & team has turned its focus to Rutgers," wrote Long. "I believe they will turn corner this week, counting on fan support Sat!"
Arkansas faces Rutgers Saturday night at 6 p.m. on ESPNU. Rutgers (3-0) earned a 23-13 win at South Florida on Thursday night.
Comments
Wilson says they need a win to get the team motivated, well I think Southwest Middle School in Searcy has a Pee Wee football team they could play.
The Pee Wee team even said they wouldn't hurt any of the Piglet Players.
