Hogs Don Pads For Some "Thudding."

[Mike Irwin]

FAYETTEVILLE--First year Arkansas defensive coordinator Robb Smith calls it, "Thudding," telling reporters of the Hogs' first day in pads since pre-season camp began, "We got a great opportunity to go out there and start to establish our physicality. This is when you really start to play football. You have to be smart and keep guys off the ground but the physicality was there."

Smith had praise for Arkansas' veterans but he singled out the newcomers as well, like true freshman Bijhon Jackson who has trimmed down from 350 to a more solid 330 pounds.

"He's a player whose certainly going to flash with his pads on," Smith noted. "He's a strong individual. He's a guy whose going to help us eat up some A gaps inside. He can dictate daylight in the center of our defense and that crucial. It all starts there. You need a guy on the center that can disrupt things, and Bijhon certainly has the ability to do that."
