That’s because Mathis couldn’t hit anything. Arkansas sold out to stop the run.

RB yards per carry
Before Stetson’s first possession: 2.4 YPC
After Stetson’s first possession: 6.3 YPC


I see what you are saying, but couldn't some of that also be to Arky wearing thin on depth and getting gassed?

The statistical issue is DWan Mathis shows 12 run attempts for -10 yards.

If we are talking about offensive success, all of those attempts matter.

If we are talking about the run game, we have 2 bad snaps got -14 yards, 3 sacks for 31 yards, and Mathis being very indecisive with the ball where he scrambled out of bounds for losses at the end of the game. None of that is indicative of Zamir White getting 71 yards and a TD on 13 attempts.
