They’re averaging 445.6 total yards per game, going for 265.9 through the air and 179.7 on the ground.
They have possibly the best running back in the league right now with Rawleigh Williams who has rushed for 785 yards on 140 carries for an average of 5.6 yards per carry and 5 touchdowns.
What has been most impressive to me this year though is the emergence of quarterback Austin Allen. There has not been much of a drop off from his brother Brandon Allen who threw for 3,440 yards and 30 touchdowns last season at Arkansas.
In seven games Austin has thrown for 1,861 yards and 18 touchdowns this season with just 6 interceptions in 219 attempts.
The Razorbacks might possess the most talented group of receivers in the SEC outside of Texas A&M.
Drew Morgan leads the team with 37 catches, and he’s taken them for 378 yards and 2 touchdowns. He’s their possession receiver that Austin will go to in pressure situations.
Jared Cornelius leads the team in receiving yards with 448 on just 22 catches for a 20.4 average. Then Keon Hatcher leads the team with 5 touchdown catches.
If that wasn’t enough, tight end Jeremy Sprinkle is one of the best tight ends in the conference. He has 19 catches for 199 yards and 4 touchdowns.
The offensive line only returned two starters, but you know Bret Bielema is always going to have a strong offensive line.
