FAYETTEVILLE — If Arkansas goes on to have a successful season, one might be able to look back to a bitterly cold day in January as a point when a new sense of urgency set in.
Razorbacks senior defensive end Gabe Richardson remembers it as a time between 5-6 a.m. when the team hiked to Razorback Stadium to get dressed from a far-away parking lot and be back in the weight room - located a good distance away - by 5:59 a.m.
It was a team coming off a 2-10 season, the worst in Arkansas history, and one that had all of its gear taken away by Chad Morris, who said his team had to earn it back.
