Defensive rebuild gradual for Hogs

FAYETTEVILLE -- Paul Rhoads pretty much forecast the bounce-back performance of the Arkansas Razorbacks' defense last Saturday.

The first-year defensive coordinator for the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville said two days before the team's second scrimmage of spring drills that his unit was eager to start showing the additional calls and blitzes they had been practicing in their new 3-4 scheme.

"The next two weeks, we're really going to enjoy ourselves as we start to experiment with some pressure and what we can do there," Rhoads said last Thursday.

The Razorbacks notched 12 "vicinity" sacks and had a pair of takeaways during Saturday's 138-play scrimmage.
