FAYETTEVILLE — Robb Smith interjected a quick thought with a wry smile into the middle of a question during his Monday afternoon press conference.
The Arkansas defensive coordinator was asked about what he remembered about the Razorbacks wins over Ole Miss the last two years. The victories: a 30-0 win thanks to six forced turnovers in 2014 and a 53-52 overtime thriller last year.
“Let’s go back to ’14, huh?,” Smith said.
He was only speaking about the Ole Miss games, but the statement works on a broader level, too. A return to that 2014 form was supposed to be in store for the Razorback defense this fall.
