FAYETTEVILLE — As Arkansas has fought to become bowl eligible in recent weeks, the Razorbacks’ defense has pulled its weight to make that happen.

But in large part to sluggish showings from the offense in back-to-back games, the sixth victory of the season has been elusive.

At the rate defensive coordinator Barry Odom’s unit is operating of late, it may take only a few offensive touchdowns from Arkansas for post-season hopes to come to fruition.
