FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ offensive line entered Saturday’s home non-conference game against Liberty with the best overall grade among Power 5 teams.

Based on the eye test alone, their cumulative mark of 88.3, according to analytics website Pro Football Focus, is sure to drop a bit following the Razorbacks’ 21-19 loss to the Flames in Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

Liberty, in securing its first win over an SEC program, recorded 14 tackles for loss, sacked Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson 4 times and limited the Razorbacks’ stout run game to a season-low 144 yards. Arkansas averaged 244.5 rushing yards per game in the first eight games.
