FAYETTEVILLE — There was a warning about what's going on with the Arkansas football team from Rick Neuheisel on Wednesday at the Northwest Arkansas Touchdown Club: Don't deviate from the general blueprint of smash-mouth running.
Neuheisel is an analyst at CBS Sports. The former head coach at Colorado, Washington and UCLA is fine with Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema sprinkling in more passing. In fact, it's needed in the SEC against what he calls the best defenses in college football.
It almost sounded odd coming from a former quarterback and NFL offensive coordinator with a penchant for solid passing offenses.
