Tackling tackling emphasis for Hogs

FAYETTEVILLE -- Pads will be popping today on the University of Arkansas football practice fields.

But it won't be full pads or live tackling just yet for the Razorbacks. Those milestones are still to come.

Today's third practice of fall camp will be in modified pads or "shells," a step up from the helmets and shorts of the first two workouts as part of the NCAA-mandated acclimatization process that will lead to full pads next week.

The workout is closed to members of the media and public, and the Razorbacks, for the first time this camp, will not conduct video interviews afterward.
