Heading into this year, a massive point of contention for the Arkansas Razorbacks was to improve an anemic pass rush.

In 2015, Arkansas finished with only 20 sacks. It had one sack through the first three games last season. Fast-forward to 2016, and it’s a completely different story. Arkansas has accrued an eye-popping 10 sacks through its first three games.

The DE pairing of Jeremiah Ledbetter and Deatrich Wise Jr. have combined for 4.5 sacks — whilst a host of other Hogs up front (Austin Capps, Brandon Lewis, Bijhon Johnson, JaMichael Winston, Randy Ramsey, McTelvin Agim, and Taiwan Johnson) have also contributed.

Depth is the main ingredient for this recipe. Arkansas consistently shuttles linemen in and out as a means to keep the unit fresh. Statistically speaking, it’s paying big dividends.

Looking towards this weekend’s massive SEC West showdown with Texas A&M, the ability for the Razorbacks’ front seven to get pressure on A&M QB Trevor Knight is imperative.

If Arkansas can disrupt the timing of the Aggies’ offense and harass the young and inexperienced A&M offensive line, the Razorbacks will be in good shape.
