Hunter Yurachek
• It’s doubtful any other coach has had to deal with more adversity before playing his first game. The toughest schedule in the nation is now the most challenging in the history of college football. He is preparing his best for the upcoming season, and that’s who he is. We’re proud to have him at Arkansas.
Arkansas coach Sam Pittman
