FAYETTEVILLE -- Back in August, Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema and defensive coordinator Robb Smith explained their Razorbacks defense could lose its Bermuda Triangle yet not disappear.
In 2014 senior defensive end Trey Flowers, third-year sophomore defensive tackle Darius Philon and senior weakside linebacker Martrell Spaight so excelled they came to be called the Bermuda Triangle. It seemed ball-carriers who ventured into their area vanished with few traceable gains in three of the last four games last season, SEC shutouts over LSU and Ole Miss and a 31-7 bowl victory over Texas.
The NFL drafted them all. Arkansas would carry on, Bielema and Smith asserted.
