9 Arkansas

Unlike most coaches, Broyles is not disturbed about the fact that he will have to use a lot of sophomores. "This isn't so bad under platoon rules," he says. "By midseason they're juniors because of the specialized coaching they get."

By midseason Arkansas may be quite a football team, if for no other reason than Broyles' usual gem of a schedule. Seven games will be played in the Ozark hills, including the hard ones against Texas and Texas A&M. And the coach very carefully has those two spaced around a laugher with Kansas State.

"The mark of a great team is its ability to score with its defense," says Broyles, who has had lots of them who could do just that. "We have a chance to have that quality."

As for the offense, it will all be up to Ronny South. But the Porkers aren't worried. As Tommy Trantham says, "South can do anything; shoot snooker, play basketball, chess, Ping-Pong, kick, throw and think."

Everybody in Arkansas talks the Razorbacks into contention.
