FAYETTEVILLE — The 2014 season is only four weeks old, but Arkansas' offense has already established itself as one of the most dynamic in the country.
While the Razorbacks have favored the run (324.5 rushing yards per game, opposed to 160 passing yards per game), they have still been able to dictate the speed of the game.
In fact, Arkansas leads the FBS in touchdown drives lasting one minute or less and touchdown drives lasting over six minutes.
The Razorbacks have scored 10 touchdowns in one minute or less, which is one ahead of Baylor, the team that traditionally leads that statistic. The Bears have nine such touchdowns and are followed by Arizona (8) and Missouri (7).
At the other end of the spectrum, the Razorbacks have scored six touchdowns after drives that took more than six minutes off the game clock. Alabama has the second-most such touchdowns, with four. The Crimson Tide is followed by Georgia Tech, Iowa and UTEP, who each have three.
The fact that Arkansas leads the nation in both categories is more impressive because most teams are either quick-strike or slow-moving, not both.
Baylor, Arizona and Missouri each have only one time-consuming touchdown drive longer than six minutes this season.
Of the four other teams with at least three touchdown drives longer than six minutes, only Alabama has multiple one-minute-or-less touchdown drives. The Crimson Tide's two such drives are tied for 57th most in the country. Georgia Tech and UTEP each have one, while Iowa has none.
