The Arkansas Razorbacks of the Bret Bielema era struggled to "get to Atlanta," the term used for teams that qualify for the SEC Championship Game.
Now Bielema and several Razorbacks from that time have gotten to Atlanta for an even bigger prize.
Five former Razorbacks and Bielema are on the rosters for the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams, who meet in Super Bowl 53 on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The most noteworthy participant among the former Hogs is defensive lineman Trey Flowers, who is preparing for his third consecutive Super Bowl.
Flowers embodied the 2014 Razorbacks, who were battling out of a long winless SEC drought just like the 2019 Arkansas team.
