D-Line rotation as new as scheme

FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas Razorbacks defensive end T.J. Smith has gained 15 pounds since the spring, but he looks as fast as ever in practice.

"T.J. is carrying the weight just fine," defensive line coach John Scott said. "To be honest, you don't see a difference in the way he was running in the spring to the way he's running now. That's a good thing."

KEY LOSSES DE Deatrich Wise, DE Jeremiah Ledbetter, DT Taiwan Johnson, DE JaMichael Winston.

WHO’S BACK NG Bijhon Jackson, DE T.J. Smith, NG Austin Capps, DE Armon Watts, DE Briston Guidry, DE Jonathan Marshall, DE Jake Hall

ANALYSIS Arkansas coaches say they’re confident the defensive line has the size, talent and depth to be effective in the move to the 3-4 scheme.
