Unknown factors into outlook

FAYETTEVILLE -- Bret Bielema was much more concerned on Sunday about practice No. 4 in training camp than he was about the season opener against Louisiana Tech on Sept. 3 or a big-picture look at whether Arkansas will be a contender in the SEC West in 2016.

"I feel good about where we're at," Bielema said. "When I say I know my team, that makes me feel better. But on the same account, we're in the SEC West."

Bielema points to his Razorbacks' progress in SEC games, from 0-8 in his first season, to 2-6 and then 5-3.
