FAYETTEVILLE -- The Arkansas Razorbacks will conduct the first of 29 practices heading into the 2016 season today in year four under Coach Bret Bielema.
The Razorbacks improved each of the past two years after Bielema's debut in 2013 of 3-9 overall and 0-8 in SEC games. They went 8-5 last season, 5-3 in the SEC, with six victories in their final seven games.
SEC media picked the Razorbacks to finish fifth in the SEC West behind defending College Football Playoff and SEC champion Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss and Texas A&M.
When a reporter jokingly said to Bielema that he had to admit it was tough trying to predict where the Razorbacks would finish, Bielema responded in good humor, "No it's not, put us No.
