Arkansas came away with the win against Texas A&M last weekend but seemingly every player lamented missed opportunities following the game.

August 16, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  2 Comments

Arkansas' performance at its morning practice was lackluster, sloppy and worrisome Monday inside Razorback Stadium. The execution just wasn't there after the first day off in preseason camp. Passes were overthrown and underthrown by the quarterbacks and balls were dropped by the receivers. The running backs could not hold onto the...

Arkansas wrapped up its first practice in full pads earlier this morning, and it was about as sharp as one could hope for a first day in pads. The secondary continued to look sharp, but Bobby Petrino wasn't very happy with the defensive players' pursuit of the ball in drills. With...
