FAYETTEVILLE — Senior nose tackle Bijhon Jackson and sophomore defensive end McTelvin Agim both praise the Arkansas Razorbacks’ new 3-4 defense, predicting they have more freedom to make more big plays than in last year’s 4-3 alignment.
However, some of the plays they don’t make could prove pivotal to the Razorbacks' football success. The more offensive linemen it takes to restrict the freedom that Jackson and Agim assert this scheme allows them, the more free the four linebackers behind them are to make a play.
“Yeah, that took a little getting used to,” Jackson said of more double teams.
