Pads Pop On Day 3
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The pads came on for Day 3 of Arkansas’ spring football camp, and the physicality and tempo went up.
The Razorbacks worked out for 23 periods Saturday at the Fred W. Smith Football Center. There was contact, but the defense was not allowed to take players to the ground in an effort to prevent injuries and keep players fresh.
Following team stretch, practice opened with head coach Bret Bielema orchestrating the “Hog Drill.” The “Hog Drill” pins an offensive player against a defensive player 1-on-1 at the goal line. The object of the “Hog Drill” is to beat your man off the ball, testing the players’ ability mentality and physically.
