Efficient run offense from Arkansas
Nobody, in particular, dominated on the ground for Arkansas. Each of the four touchdowns came from different players and nobody had more than 75 yards. Trelon Smith was the leading rusher, with quarterback K.J. Jefferson just behind him with 73 yards.
Arkansas offensive coordinator Art Briles could have called a run every play and still found a way to win the game. Every attempt felt to go for at least five yards, with a missed tackle mixed in there somewhere. As mentioned earlier, Texas’ defensive line was getting bullied all night.
Pete Kwiatkowski has a proud career of being a defensive coordinator. Saturday night was one of his worst performances ever. According to Rob Babers of TheHornATX. Arkansas’ 7.1 yards per carry is the second most a Kwiatkowski defense has given up since he became the Boise State DC in 2010.
Embarrassing could be the word to describe it. Worrying as well.
