FAYETTEVILLE — The first step in improving offensive efficiency for the University of Arkansas needs to take place before the snap of the ball.
Coach Sam Pittman said quarterback Feleipe Franks had to spend too much time making sure backs, receivers and tight ends were properly aligned in Saturday’s 37-10 loss to Georgia.
In coordinator Kendal Briles’ offense, which wants to operate at a fast clip, that’s time Franks could spend analyzing the defense and making adjustments to the play call.
“I know that’s part of the quarterback’s job, but it’s hard to look downfield, see what’s going on, see pre-snap reads as a quarterback when you’re looking at your own team trying to get them lined up,” Pittman said Wednesday.
