FAYETTEVILLE -- The Arkansas Razorbacks open camp on Thursday with heightened expectations heading into their third season under Coach Bret Bielema.
Much of the optimism comes from the Razorbacks' strong 2014 finish, with three victories in their final four games -- beating No. 17 LSU, No. 8 Ole Miss and Texas by a combined score of 78-7.
There is also a strong core of experienced players returning, especially on offense, where the Razorbacks return four of five starters on the line, two 1,000-yard running backs, a fifth-year quarterback, a slew of tight ends and a proven wide receiver.
