FAYETTEVILLE -- Barring a last-minute reversal from the NCAA, college football programs can begin full-team walkthroughs today.
What is part of the "enhanced summer activities" on the NCAA calendar amounts to non-padded rehearsals of plays and schemes -- with a football.
For the University of Arkansas, this will be the first time Coach Sam Pittman and his staff will see players interact with a football on the practice fields. The Razorbacks and many other teams had their 15 spring practices wiped out by the covid-19 pandemic. Arkansas was slated to start its spring drills March 16, the Monday after the virus forced a virtually global shutdown of sports.
