Why did Arkansas run on third-and-long in fourth quarter vs Tennessee?

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas football coach Ryan Silverfield and offensive coordinator Tim Cramsey have come under fire this week for a conservative approach on third downs. The Razorbacks called running plays on two third-and-long situations during the fourth quarter of their 24-17 loss to Tennessee on Saturday, Oct. 10. Cam Settles earned a total of 4 yards, with one drive resulting a 55-yard field goal from Max Gilbert. The other turned into a punt that led to Tennessee's game-winning touchdown. "Initial thought process was sneak a run by them," Cramsey said.
