Alabama Football vs. Arkansas Preview: When the Razorbacks have the ball

The Arkansas Razorbacks are entering year 3 of the Sam Pittman experience with Kendal Briles as the OC. While Briles does bring some baggage from his Baylor days, he also brings the inverted veer shotgun rushing offense that made the Bears so dangerous in the early 2010s.

They’re averaging nearly 250 rushing yards on 50 attempts per game so far this season, with sophomore Rocket Sanders moving into a full-time role after being an electric change-of-pace guy last year. He’s a 6’2” 225-lb former slot receiver that’s turning into dynamic, well-rounded running back with 6.1 yards per carry and another 120 receiving yards through 4 games this season.
