FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas held Jalen Hurts to 20 yards on eight carries last week in a 45-30 loss to No. 1 Alabama. Unfortunately, leaks sprung in many other places for coordinator Robb Smith's defense.
“You get what you emphasize,” Smith said Monday as he reviewed a ghoulish first-half performance against the Crimson Tide. The Hogs gave up 396 yards on 34 first-half snaps.
“We have to be smart what we emphasize, be smart with the plan.”
The quarterback run had been the killer for most of the season. Hurts did score two touchdowns in the first half, both on short outside runs.
