Third Down Critical To Success of Arkansas Offense

To say Arkansas’ third down conversion rate was terrible would be an understatement.

Too many drives during the 2020 season couldn’t be sustained due to a lack of execution on third down. That in itself should be a huge focus going into the summer practices.

It was somewhat easy to forget the third down issues with the help of big plays from the Arkansas offense. Arkansas ranked 13th in the SEC (103rd NCAA) when it came to third down conversions in 2020, just ahead of Tennessee.

The majority of the offensive success was predicated on staying on track within the offense and big plays.
