Arkansas goes from up-tempo team to run-first under new coach John Bielema, a former defensive lineman whose coaching roots are also on the defensive side of the ball. He and defensive coordinator Chris Ash coached a Wisconsin defense that was 15th in the nation in total defense a year ago, allowing 322.6 yards per game, and the two are hoping to create a similar expectation level at Arkansas

But the offense is inferior. Demetrius Wilson, who was the team's top receiver this spring and fall, went down with an ACL injury. Another receiver D'Arthur Cowan is out.
