The Arkansas defense ranks 87th in the country in total defense, allowing 412.9 yards per game and giving up 30.7 points per game. They are allowing 220 passing yards per game, 192.9 rushing yards per game, and 5.95 yards per play. The Hogs success rate on defense comes in at #82 in the country, which is definitely below the national average. The 2019 Arkansas defense is pretty similar to last year’s Razorback defense by the numbers— in other words... Bad.
John Chavis, a name that virtually everyone in the SEC is familiar with, is in his second season as the defensive coordinator for the Hogs.
