FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ coaching staff has done more than wish for better results this season after getting worked over by several up-tempo Spread offenses last year.
Coach Bret Bielema, defensive coordinator Robb Smith and the rest of the defensive staff shuffled the schemes vs. the Spread, helping the Hogs to a 2-0 start.
The Razorbacks, with mostly the same personnel, have introduced 3-man fronts, brought blitz pressure from different positions and angles, played more press coverage and continued to mix up coverage schemes in an effort to check the tempo attacks that are spreading across college football.
