6 Oct
Summary

The Arkansas Razorbacks' football offense is currently under scrutiny, averaging a mere 11.3 points against Power Four competition. Head coach Ryan Silverfield acknowledged quarterback KJ Jackson's recent struggles, noting accuracy issues and decision-making problems following a disappointing performance. While Jackson is described as smart and hardworking, his performance against Texas A&M fell short of his capabilities.
Further highlighting the offensive woes, Arkansas ranks third-fewest in the SEC for the variety of offensive formations utilized, employing only 69. This lack of creative strategy coincides with the team's overall offensive stagnation this season. Despite efforts to find solutions, including meeting with Jackson to identify his strengths, the unit continues to falter.
Looking ahead, the Razorbacks face a formidable challenge against Tennessee, a team leading the nation in sacks and allowing minimal points. The upcoming game is scheduled for Saturday at 3:15 p.m. inside Razorback Stadium and will be broadcast on SEC Network.
