Statement from Jeff Long

FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas Director of Athletics Jeff Long released the following statement on Monday regarding the Arkansas-Auburn football game.

“After consulting with Coach Petrino, we have registered our concerns regarding several officiating calls and review decisions made by replay officials in Saturday’s game. We have taken all appropriate steps to thoroughly review the plays through the process provided by the SEC to do so.

“While we were proactive in sharing our thoughts on the plays in question with the league office, we will conduct our affairs with the appropriate decorum that is expected of University of Arkansas representatives and members of the SEC.”
