Arkansas OL looking for short-yardage improvement after loss

17412790



    

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) _ Arkansas made a point a year ago to promote and

publicize itself as the home of the largest offensive line in football, both in

college and the NFL.



This season, a line in transition has left the No. 20 Razorbacks (3-1, 0-1

Southeastern Conference) with more of a focus on performance than girth through

three games.



Arkansas gained almost 500 yards and averaged 6 yards per play in last week’s

45-24 loss to No. 9 Texas A&M, but the Razorbacks _ with three new starters on

the offensive line this season _ struggled in short-yardage situations and saw

quarterback Austin Allen repeatedly bruised and battered by the Aggies pass

rush.



This week, the Razorbacks play their final nonconference game against Alcorn

State.
