FAYETTEVILLE — Through two games of Arkansas’ quarterback battle, the pace of play has benefitted from Ty Storey leading the offense.
Storey averaged a snap every 22.3 seconds in eight drives during the opener against Eastern Illinois, while Cole Kelley averaged a snap every 27.8 seconds in four possessions.
Against Colorado State, the difference was even greater. Storey took 49 snaps in 19:19 - an average of 23.6 seconds. Kelley took 26 snaps in 13:08 - an average of 30.3 seconds.
Both Arkansas coach Chad Morris and offensive coordinator Joe Craddock pointed toward various circumstances for the offense’s much slower pace with Kelley in Colorado.
