FAYETTEVILLE -- Circumstances compelled the Arkansas Razorbacks to start four not-ready-for-prime-time players among their five offensive line positions last season.
Entering today's scrimmage, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Coach Bret Bielema and offensive line coach Kurt Anderson are secure about all five starters. They also believe three or four backups could step in easily this season.
Senior Frank Ragnow returns to great expectations as preseason first-team All-SEC at center.
Anderson, even as a first-year coach for Arkansas, and Bielema knew well what Ragnow could do before last season commenced.
It's last year's not-ready-for-prime-time players -- guards Hjalte Froholdt and Johnny Gibson, and tackles Colton Jackson and Brian Wallace -- who prime Bielema and Anderson into thinking their starting line is fine this season.
