Steve Caldwell post practice: August 15

FAYETTEVILLE- The 10th-ranked University of Arkansas football team continued preseason practice on Wednesday at the UA intramural fields in the morning and at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in the evening.

Special teams coordinator and defensive ends coach Steve Caldwell spoke with the media after practice and commented on the focus of stopping the run this season.

"I think we have done a better job up front and I think a lot of it is because we have more experience and more depth of stopping the run and that’s been a big emphasis of ours on defense – stopping the run," Coach Caldwell said.

Coach Caldwell also commented on the positive and hardworking attitude of the whole football team.

 “The thing that I’ve seen about this football team – and not that we haven’t in the past – but it’s a different attitude I think,” Coach Caldwell said. “This football team is grinding and working really hard toward their goal.”

The Razorbacks continue practice on Thursday at 9 a.m. inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Practices through Aug. 18 will take place in the football stadium and be open to the public, but practices moved inside Walker Pavilion will be closed due to space limitations.
