Arkansas defensive end Tre Williams (55) celebrates a sack during a game against Texas A&M on Saturday, Sept. 25, 2021, in Arlington, Texas.
For most of the last decade, the No. 1 problem for Arkansas has been defense. There just was none.
Pull up any tape over that period and there was not one common problem. Everything was a problem. Consider:
• Defensive linemen were blocked, sometimes five yards down the field.
• Linebackers went the wrong way and didn’t chase. They were beaten by backs in the passing game, trailing the play.
