After a 24-7 win at Kentucky, Florida is looking to continue the positive results in SEC play. The Gators (3-1, 2-0 SEC), who are tied atop the SEC East with Georgia currently, host SEC West foe Arkansas at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Here are a few keys to watch:

Something's got to give: Arkansas comes into the game with the SEC's top rushing offense, averaging a league-high 237 rushing yards per game. True freshman Alex Collins is sixth overall in the country with 597 rushing yards this season and the Razorbacks have a solid one-two punch at the position when you add Jonathan Williams (471 rushing yards) to the mix. Florida, of course, is boasting college football's top rushing defense, allowing a measly 53.5 yards per game. The Gators allow just 2.43 yards per carry. So watching the battle at the line of scrimmage when Arkansas has the football will be compelling.

Keep away?: While Arkansas likes to run the ball, so does Florida. The Gators lead the nation in time of possession, averaging 38 minutes and 58 seconds of possession time per game. That keeps an opposing offense off the field, but offensive coordinator Brent Pease isn't necessarily looking to grind the clock down all the time. Pease said that sometimes he'll "still stress that you want to have explosive plays and you hope you get those where you’re scoring in two or three [plays], which limits your time of possession." So the Gators will continue to look for opportunities to make big plays on offense.

Building on Kentucky performance: Sophomore running back Matt Jones had his best game of the season last week against Kentucky, exploding for 176 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries. After missing practice and game time earlier this year because of a viral infection, it appears Jones is no longer feeling any effects that might have lingered. The Gators are fortunate to have another quality option in the backfield with Mack Brown, but Jones' emergence last week was key and he'll have a chance to build on it this week.

Continuing success at QB: Since being pressed into the lineup because of a season-ending injury to starter Jeff Driskel, quarterback Tyler Murphy has played well. He has completed 71.9 percent of his passes and has been a threat with his feet also, rushing for 120 yards. Pease said Murphy just needs to keep being himself. As long as others around him continue to do their job, all should be well for Murphy.

Improve the kicking game: Redshirt freshman kicker Austin Hardin missed a 53-yard field goal try last week and while long field goals are never easy, he is 4-for-7 on field goals (57.1 percent). That won't get it done if games are close and a field goal attempt is a deciding factor in a win or a loss. Hardin has been the lone successor so far to Caleb Sturgis, who was a Lou Groza Award finalist last year, but senior Brad Phillips is competing in practice with Hardin.
