Arkansas' offense apparently heard the call from its leaders and coaches Tuesday. A couple of lackluster practices have been sprinkled throughout Arkansas' camp, and none were perhaps worse than the scene inside Razorback Stadium on Morning morning. The Hogs bounced back for a crisp practice in the afternoon and again Tuesday. Coaches...
Read More Post a comment (3)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...

Garrick McGee likes what he's seeing from Ryan Mallett in his preparation in the film room and the amount of time he spends studying his playbook. But there was something holding Mallett back from performing at a high level Thursday in both of the Razorbacks' two-a-day practices. "He's still making some mistakes...
Read More Post a comment (7)Arkansas implemented more tackling opportunities early in drills Wednesday, which resulted in some fumbles, bumbles and turnovers by the running backs. The most impressive player with ball instincts, by many accounts, was freshman defensive end Chris Smith. He played some at outside linebacker and recovered two fumbles in drills. One of...
Read More Post a comment (14)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?

Read More Post a comment (13)Arkansas' receivers struggled to hold on to the ball at times, but the offense still remained consistent in the veterans' portion of practices today. Meanwhile, the newcomers continued to sharpen their teeth with their first evening practice inside Razorback Stadium. There was no media availability after practice today, so we move...
Read MoreIt's the second day of practice. No one is wearing shoulder pads, play-calling selection is slim, contact is almost non-existent and tackling is off limits. But there's something to be said about Arkansas' defense stepping up on Day 2 in the veterans' practice. The defense broke up four passes, one of...
