Arkansas's defense has shown up vs Texas but the offense is nowhere to be found
The Hogs go into halftime down 10-0 in their first conference matchup with Texas since 1991. The defense has shown up through the first 30 minutes, but the offense can get anything going.
Taylen Green can hardly get a pass off with the Longhorn's front seven breathing down his neck, but when he does have good protection, receivers aren't getting open. The rushing attack hasn't hit the gas either, with Arkansas gaining 16 yards for 1.1 yards a carry. Of course, sacks play a large role in the depleted numbers, but even if you take them away, the Hogs have 34 yards on 11 carries for 3 yards per carry. Also, the negative yardage keeps the Hogs from running the ball.
Defensively, Arkansas held Texas to 10 points and 158 yards of total offense. They've made it back to a "bend don't break" squad after giving up everything but the kitchen sink against Ole Miss. Arkansas has half as many sacks as Texas with two, but the Hogs are besting the Horn in tackles for loss with six to their 4.5.
Arkansas will receive the ball out of the break. The first drive must gain points of some kind to bring the Razorbacks within one score. Otherwise, the momentum could swing in the other direction fast.
