FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas Razorbacks, a dark horse candidate to push toward the top of the SEC West for the first time in 11 years, open training camp on Friday.
Third-year Coach Sam Pittman, who has turned University of Arkansas football from an afterthought to a potential contender, will preview the 25 practices of camp today at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
Arkansas is coming off a resurgent 9-4 season. The Razorbacks were picked to finish third in the SEC West behind defending SEC champion Alabama and Texas A&M in media voting last month.
Arkansas opens a season chock full of great story lines with a visit by defending College Football Playoff participant Cincinnati on Sept.
