2012 Football Post Practice - Taver Johson

FAYETTEVILLE- The University of Arkansas football team practiced Thursday morning inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

Assistant head coach and linebackers coach Taver Johnson met with the media after practice and talked about the effort of the linebackers.

“They are trying,” Coach Johnson said. “They are definitely trying but we have to understand that in order for us to stop the run we have to do a lot of banging. That is what we have done this preseason.”

Coach Johnson also described what he would like to see in the scrimmage on Saturday.

“Effort,” Coach Johnson said. “It always starts with effort. The first scrimmage was ok at best. We need to be through the roof when it comes to running to the football and stopping the run. We need to see execution.”

The Razorbacks continue practice Friday at 4:30 p.m. at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. All practices held outside through Aug. 18 will be open to the public, but practices moved inside Walker Pavilion will be closed due to space limitations.
