Analyzing Arkansas' QB play at Kentucky

Each week throughout the 2019 season I plan to re-watch the previous week's game and chart each pass thrown by an Arkansas quarterback:

Nick Starkel

At/Behind LOS: 2/5, 0 yards

1-5 yard throws: 3/3, 20 yards

6-10 yard throws: 1/4, 6 yards

11-15 yard throws: 1/4, 15 yards

16+ yard throws: 0/3, 0 yards

Yards after catch: 11 (Cheyenne O'Grady 6, Treylon Burks 5)

Interceptable passes: 2 (incomplete 17 yards downfield to Trey Knox near the end of the first half; incomplete to Knox 11 yards downfield on Starkel’s final series in the third quarter)

Inaccurate passes: 5 (incomplete to Treylon Burks 48 yards downfield; incomplete to Cheyenne O’Grady 9 yards downfield, pass was too high; incomplete to O’Grady 15 yards downfield, Starkel was hit as he threw; incomplete to Burks 12 yards downfield, pass behind Burks; incomplete to O’Grady 10 yards downfield, throw was high and too far in front of O’Grady)

Passes broken up: 1 (intended for O’Grady 9 yards downfield in the end zone)

1st down throws on 3rd down: 3 (4-yard gain to Mike Woods; 15-yard gain to Woods; 10-yard gain to Burks)

Drops: 3 (Tyson Morris on pass 2 yards behind LOS; Rakeem Boyd on pass 3 yards behind LOS at Kentucky 12; Burks on pass 4 yards behind LOS)

Throwaways: 1 (final pass, which was 16+ yards downfield with Woods in the area)

Analysis: Nick Starkel was largely ineffective in his first game back from a left arm injury in Arkansas' loss to Texas A&M in Week 5, but his play, according to Chad Morris, had nothing to do with his health.
