FAYETTEVILLE — It was a hit that caused Reynolds Razorback Stadium to shake from its foundation, but it was the kind of technique that Paul Rhoads is trying to eliminate in the Arkansas secondary.
Santos Ramirez targeted the ball with a crushing blow that ended the Ole Miss hopes last week as Arkansas scored a 34-30 victory. Rhoads, the Arkansas secondary coach, would have preferred a different kind of technique.
Would Rhoads liked a form tackle below the waist that dropped Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly about three yards short of the first down stakes?
“I would much rather have seen a tackle,” Rhoads said after practice Tuesday afternoon.
