SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — It is game week, so Missouri State Coach Bobby Petrino wasn’t prepared to let his mind wander back a dozen years to a different time.
Petrino kept his news conference answers Monday regarding the brief golden era he created at the University of Arkansas to a minimum.
In 2010, Petrino led the Razorbacks to a watershed moment in their football history. Arkansas made its first and only appearance in the Bowl Championship Series lineup in his third year at the helm, an appearance in the Sugar Bowl against Ohio State, which was later forced to vacate a 31-26 win for using ineligible players.
