The strength for Arkansas all season has been the front lines. The Razorbacks are averaging 220 yards on the ground this year and holding opponents to just 124 rushing yards per game. That could pose a problem for Texas, which relies on running the ball on offense and has had trouble stopping the run this year. Arkansas is likely to feed backs Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins plenty of carries today. The two have combined for 2,109 yards and 23 touchdowns on the ground this season.
