State of the Hogs: Pulley key to improved pass rush

FAYETTEVILLE — The problems with the Arkansas defense over the last two seasons have been well documented. The Razorbacks gave up 51 touchdowns in both seasons.

It wasn't the same in the two seasons. Two years ago the Hogs broke the school record by allowing 39 rushing touchdowns. There were 12 more via the pass. It flipped around last year with 28 passing TDs allowed, 23 via the run.

So the Hogs did better against the run, but caved versus the pass. Their 19 sacks were fewest in the SEC.

It's too early to know how the 2018 Razorbacks will fare on defense.
