FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas cornerback Jarques McClellion came to Wednesday interviews with the Razorback "championship belt" draped over his shoulder.
McClellion and fellow defenders T.J. Smith and Kamren Curl said the defense retained the belt again after spring practice No. 7, meaning that unit is undefeated heading into a lengthy spring break.
"A lot of fumbles today," said Smith, who had one of the highlights of the day with a scoop-and-score touchdown.
Defensive coordinator John Chavis has stressed ripping the ball free.
"Coach Chief [Chavis] and coach [Ron] Cooper have been telling us in meetings to strip the ball, crank that lawn mower right," McClellion said.
