FAYETTEVILLE -- There was a great debate as to whether the University of Arkansas and its SEC colleagues would ever reach this milestone of opening training camps.
Yet, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and arguments over the wisdom of proceeding with college athletics this fall, that's where they find themselves today.
The Razorbacks will conduct their first legitimate full-speed practice for Coach Sam Pittman, 253 days after he was tabbed by Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek for his first major-college head coaching gig.
Since their return to activity on June 8, the Razorbacks have gone through hours and hours of video instruction, scheme studying, weight work, conditioning and walk-throughs, but no full speed activities with footballs.
