For weeks, many Arkansas football fans salivated at the prospect of Alex Golesh bringing the same kind of aggressive mindset that helped him succeed at South Florida to Fayetteville.
They knew the emerging lore. They saw how he’d snapped back at the UTSA coach’s accusations about USF’s “payroll.” They’d seen a man walking across the field, wearing a hat emblazoned with the word “EDGE” and mean-mugging poor Jeff Traylor, and they found their pupils suddenly dilating. “I want me some of that,” they breathlessly whispered.
In the end, it appears, Golesh looks like he indeed brought some of that attack-dog mindset to Arkansas.
