Defense needs better positioning

FAYETTEVILLE -- Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly became the second 100-yard rusher against the Arkansas defense last year in the Razorbacks' 53-52 overtime victory in Week 9.

He was also the final one.

Rushing defense declines

• Arkansas has fallen from 21st to 83rd nationally in rushing yards yielded per game over the past four weeks:

OPP.;RU-YDS-TDS;YPC;AVG.;SEC (NCAA)

vs. Texas A&M;37-366-4;9.9;165.5;9 (76)

Alabama's Derrick Henry couldn't crack the 100-yard plateau on the Hogs, and neither did LSU's Leonard Fournette nor Tennessee' Jalen Hurd.

Auburn's Peyton Barber, with 120 yards on 37 carries, was the one running back to run for more than 100 yards against the Arkansas defense last season, and Barber needed 52 yards in the four overtime periods to get there.
