FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) – Arkansas has faced more than its share of mobile quarterbacks this season – with varying degrees of success.
Ohio State’s Terrelle Pryor is next up for the Razorbacks (10-2), who conclude their on-campus preparations Thursday for the Jan. 4 Sugar Bowl.
Arkansas’ defensive improvement this season was one of the keys to reaching its first BCS bowl game. The Razorbacks were 33rd in the country in total defense, allowing an average of 340 yards per game. That’s up from last season when they were 89th in the country, allowing 401 yards per game.
The improvement came despite facing some of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the country, including Auburn’s Cam Newton. Newton ran wild on Arkansas defense in a 65-43 Tigers’ win, but the Razorbacks fared well against the rest.
