FAYETTEVILLE -- To help turn around a football program that fell to 2-10 last season, the University of Arkansas is putting in work on turnovers on both sides of the ball.
The Razorbacks had a minus-10 turnover margin to rank last in the SEC and 119th out of 129 FBS teams.
That's too many interceptions (18) and lost fumbles (8) by the Hogs' offense, and not enough takeaways. The defense grabbed 5 interceptions and recovered 11 fumbles, nearly half of them (5) in the opener against FCS opponent Eastern Illinois. None of the interceptions was registered by a returning player, as corner Ryan Pulley and linebacker Dre Greenlaw had all five.
