UA hopes struggle running ball a blip

FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas' chances of pulling off an upset at No. 21 Mississippi State on Saturday might hinge on the resurgence of its running attack.

The Razorbacks' offense has progressed in fits and starts this season in the first year of the Chad Morris era, but the running attack had stayed largely on track -- despite a revolving cast due to injuries at running back and on the offensive line -- since an inexplicable dud of a run game in the opener.

Until last week.

The LSU defense clamped down on Arkansas like no other team this season, allowing just 16 rushing yards.
