It's easy to get caught up in the glitz and glamour of Bobby Petrino's offense, but Monday the Arkansas defense was given its due for a near flawless performance against Tennessee Tech. Yes, there was the one long pass play that gave the Golden Eagles the ball at the Arkansas 1...

Razor Review (Day 11): Offense bounces back after sloppy morning

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.

Even with the possibility of being threatened bodily harm for sounding cliche, it must be said: Speed kills. A member of a defensive secondary misses an assignment? Count on the opponent to exploit it and score a touchdown. Two steps slower at tailback than your companions in the backfield? You'll be on...
