FAYETTEVILLE -- Two overriding themes have come shining through the University of Arkansas' preseason practices with two weeks remaining before the Sept. 26 season-opener against Georgia.
First-year Coach Sam Pittman has stressed:
• Getting bigger and tougher
• Having versatility
Of course there are other issues to deal with like getting into game shape, improving stamina, refining execution of schemes, ironing out game-day communication and all the other intricacies that go into game preparation. But for the Razorbacks, being bigger, tougher and more flexible are the points of emphasis.
