In the final analysis, the play calling couldn’t have been more balanced in the University of Arkansas’ 55-34 win over Colorado State on Saturday.
There were 35 runs for 215 yards and 3 touchdowns for the Razorbacks, and they passed 35 times for 305 yards and 3 touchdowns.
On first downs, the Razorbacks threw 18 times and ran 14.
Arkansas’ most conservative quarter was the third, when it ran on first down to start each possession
That should have been enough to keep the Rams defense off balance, but when they tied the score 34-34 with 2:26 to play in the third quarter, it was anyone’s game.
