The reason they didn't rush more is because they were unsuccessful at it and kept having to punt. You'd think ULSU fans would understand this concept better than most.


We didn't run as well, but we still had success running the ball in each quarter. His question is one many Arkansas fans have been asking since last season.

You only threw the ball 13 times in the 2H + OT in 8 possessions. The vast majority of those passes came on 2nd or 3rd and long/medium. IMO, the biggest playcalling mistake in the 2H wasn't passing too much, but was not passing more on running downs.

In the 4th quarter, y'all ran the ball every single time on 1st down. Every single time. It was overly conservative given how often you were getting stuffed on 1st down and it resulted in 4 three-and-outs in the 4th quarter alone. Hell in OT y'all ran 3 of the 4 plays for a total of 1 yard.

I wouldn't say Arky abandoned the run. When A&M had sold out to stop to the run, they slowed it down but left the pass open. The play action pass to the TE for the 4th score was evidence of that. But those play action fakes didn't work as well in the 4th quarter.
