Texas ran the ball pretty effectively most of the game, and notably was best in the 4th quarter. Sark chose to lean into the pass early. Maybe he didn't feel he could lean on the run, maybe he wanted to go after the Arkansas pass defense, maybe Arkansas was playing RPOs to force a throw whatever. Getting to obvious passing situations because of a couple penalties and sacks influenced calls too no doubt. These are Texas RB carries by possession:
5 plays: 1-3
3 plays: 1-7
6 plays (TD): 3-24
3 plays: 1-4
11 plays (FG): 4-7, with a 4th and short conversion and 6 yard run called back with a hold
12 plays: 4-15
First half: 14-60, 4.2 ypc
7 plays (FG): 4-11, probably the worst running drive situationally. A first down loss by Wisner early, and only 3 yards on 2 carries after 1st down from the piggy 13
3 plays: 1-(-2)
8 plays (TD): 5-46, 28 yard run by Blue
14 plays (end of game): 8-26, with the whole stadium knowing the drill
Final line: 33-147, 4.45 ypc
