Coaches have varying philosophies on how to handle an off week in the schedule and Arkansas coach Bret Bielema has his own take on how to utilize it.
The Razorbacks, who were off last week and host Auburn at 11 a.m. CT on Saturday, practiced on the field four times to allow some younger players to get some extra repetitions and get a jump start on preparations for the Tigers before resuming their normal game-week schedule on Sunday.
That practice, Bielema told reporters on Monday, was crisp, clean and much to the coaching staff's liking.
"We had a 12-period practice on Sunday that was probably the best practice of the year," Bielema said.
