Offensive Line: Pass Protection

The offensive line actually played really good on rushing plays. They also blocked well in pass protection for the first half. Which is odd considering the Hogs didn’t play well at all in the first half.

The best football that Arkansas fans have seen in years was during the third quarter, but the Offensive line steadily got worse as the game went on. Maybe it was fatigue.

The pocket collapsed at least seven times during the game. Five of them, or maybe more, were in the fourth quarter. Four of those times in the fourth quarter, the quarter back ended up getting sacked or hit.

There were good moments in the third quarter by the pass protection. On Mike Woods big 56 yard play, Felipe Franks has at least five seconds to throw the ball, and was not hurried at all. On Treylon Burks 59 yard play, Franks had maybe eight seconds to throw, and was five yards away from the closest defender.

That just goes to show you what good can happen in this offense when Felipe isn’t under so much pressure. When he is, there is a high risk of turnovers.
