Saban sees uptick from Hogs’ offense

FAYETTEVILLE -- The numbers don't stack up well for the University of Arkansas' offense this weekend.

The Razorbacks and their 108th-ranked offense must look for ways to pile up first downs, stay on the field and score against a unit for No. 1 Alabama that ranks 23rd in total defense with 317.6 yards allowed per game and fifth in points allowed at 13.0 per game.

Arkansas Coach Chad Morris and offensive coordinator Joe Craddock stayed at the Fred Smith Football Complex all night Sunday breaking down the issues that have led to 29.3 percent third-down conversions -- which ranks 124th among 130 FBS teams -- namely poor results on first downs.
