Neither Collins or Williams have run for 75 yards in a game against a quality defense yet this year. I highly doubt that Alabama will have much trouble with the Arkansas running game. Plus, Arkansas has been giving each of them fewer and fewer touches as the season has progressed.

Assume you are referring to South Carolina and Florida. Arkansas didn't run much against them, ypg doesn't tell the whole story.

Without going back and being a stats nerd, I think both Collins and Williams have gotten fewer and fewer "touches" as the season has progressed. Also, I think only one of them has had a 100 yard game in the last four games and that was against A&M who's not exactly knows as a defensive juggernaut (96th in points allowed).

Welcome, GoDucks349. I am not expecting the Arky running game to do much against our defense. Their OL is inexperienced and our premise on defense is to stop the run and make the other guy one dimensional

Thanks for the welcome.

Yea, that's a pretty standard strategy. Same thing the Ducks have been trying to do for decades. Also, given that I think the Arkansas QB is completing less than 50% of his passes, it's not like they are going to spread the defense out much.

Against UofSC Arkansas didn't run much of anything...37 total offensive plays on th day.

Yup, wasn't a pretty showing.
