Majors factor at UA

FAYETTEVILLE -- Johnny Majors picked the right time to become a University of Arkansas football assistant coach.

It took 22 games before he experienced a loss with the Razorbacks.

Arkansas finished 11-0 and won a share of the national championship in 1964 when Majors joined the staff and coached defensive backs for Frank Broyles.

Then the Razorbacks went 10-1 in 1965 with their only loss to LSU in the Cotton Bowl.

Majors, who switched from coaching defensive backs to running backs in 1967, helped Arkansas to a 33-8-1 record in four seasons, then had a memorable run as a college head coach.
