Hogs’ Robinson Concerned About Depth On Defense

Whether there’s a new quarterback or an injured tailback, no one spends much time fretting over Bobby Petrino’s offense at Arkansas.  At this point, Petrino appears to be the Steve Spurrier of the 2000s… players come and go, but the coach’s offense continues to put up big numbers.

To truly move forward as a program, however, the Razorbacks need to keep improving on the defensive side of the ball.  And D-coordinator Willy Robinson has some concerns heading into the season:


“I have some real doubts about how deep we are yet because of not seeing the seconds really develop into a solid backup.  They gave us great effort.  That was the one thing that stood out, it seemed like the second group had fun playing, they weren’t just quite executing well enough.”


Defensive end Jake Bequette doesn’t seem too worried about depth.  He feels it’s “pretty solid.”  “We’ve had some freshman who are definitely going to come in here and help us in that second unit for sure.”
