Misconception about the Hogs running game

I've read several times on here how the Hogs running game (or lack thereof) is awful. Maybe some of you just look at the impressive offensive numbers and see that we haven't rushed for nearly as many yards as we've thrown for? Arkansas' offense uses the pass to set up the run. Most defenses gear up to stop the run, so BP calls pass plays to give the offense an advantage over the called defense. You want to blitz? Fine, we'll throw it all over. You want to defend the pass? OK, we'll run a draw.

Arkansas averages 4.5 yards per rush. How do we do that if our running game is terrible? 146.4 yards per game on the ground. Nothing that is eye-popping, but it doesn't have to be when you average 316.9 yards per game. We have 25 rushing TD's to 23 passing TD's.

Arkansas is not going to line-up and blow your defensive line off the ball and run it down your throat like last year. We will run it effectively though, enough to keep your defense honest. "Well look what Alabama's defense did to y'all and we're better than them." No, you're not. Your defense is good. So is our offense.
