We’ve talked previously about how SEC teams use play-action to set up their passing games.

Arkansas does it as well as anyone in the league.

We saw more evidence of that Saturday in its wild win over Ole Miss.

On this particular play, Brandon Allen puts his ball skills to use, absolutely selling a run out of a run formation.

The impact of his fake freezes Ole Miss’ linebackers and allows Drew Morgan time to get deep on a dig route in front of the Ole Miss safety.

The timing of this call — 2nd-and-8, a pass out of a run formation — was outstanding. The execution was good, but the play-action set up a relatively easy throw for one of the SEC’s best quarterbacks.

In the battle of Skill vs. Scheme … this is scheme all day long.
