FAYETTEVILLE — There is little doubt what the Arkansas football team needed to make the defense better under new coordinator Paul Rhoads: Add speed.
The best eyes to know if that's happened in 17 days of preseason camp lie with offensive players like quarterback Austin Allen, running back Devwah Whaley and tight end Cheyenne O'Grady.
They know if the Razorbacks are better off the edge. Are the pressures tougher to recognize? Is there any more speed on the new defense?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
That's what I was told Tuesday night from Allen, Whaley and O'Grady.
