FAYETTEVILLE — One week after getting no love, the Arkansas offensive line was recognized as a group by coach Bret Bielema, while the SEC picked out left tackle Dan Skipper as offensive lineman of the week.
It gave Bielema a chance to heap some praise on Kurt Anderson, his first-year offensive line coach. Offensive coordinator Dan Enos followed with praise, with some mock resentment for Anderson's background at the University of Michigan (Enos played at Michigan State).
Bielema is the fourth-year Arkansas head coach with a history of producing solid play in the offensive line. That group has been on a roller coaster this year, but it hit a high point on the ride with a near perfect game in a 58-42 victory at Mississippi State.
