Who was responsible for the run game success when Bielema was at Arkansas?

Love me some Brad Davis but maybe for 2025 we can get him a consultant to enliven our rushing?

I feel like arkansas had just enough good players to stretch the field.

Alex Collins
Hunter Henry
Brandon Allen

This is the correct answer. (That and Alex Collins)

Add Sebastina Tretola and Travis Swanson for one year and almost all of the OLine starters for Bert's first 2-3 yrs played in the NFL or are still in the league.

Pittman basically recruited all of them.

Looking back to 2016, they were never that good at running the ball.

Beliema had massive road graders on the OL and solid RBs and just leaned on people.

That said, it didn't always work against top competition and their pass blocking was terrible at times.

Why?

What has he accomplished to warrant this love?

They played under Nutt. They were fun to watch though. DMac in the wildcat offense was brutal.

They lost both Alex Collins who then was the second leading rusher in SEC history and Jonathan Williams.

They still finished 78th in rush offense in 2016, that was expected.

2013 third in the nation with sacks allowed at 8.

2014 11th in sacks allowed at 14.

2015 9th in the nation in sacks allowed at 14.

Pittman leaves.

2016 Arkansas is 103th in sacks allowed at 35.

In 2017 Arkansas is 113th in sacks allowed at 35.

Bert ran out of Petrino players on defense after the 2015 season and the bottom fell out.

Bert skipped recruiting visits just to go to Vegas.
