Arkansas Razorbacks Face Uncertain Offense This Season
Arkansas coach Frank Broyles says the 1976 Razorbacks will rely on an unsettled offense with only three returning starters and a potential new center. He notes big plays and an experienced line could drive success, while Eckwood's knee injury clouds the running back position. Standout backs Cowins and Forrest are expected to mature, and Calcagni will start at quarterback with seasoned teammates around him.
