Arkansas football releases spring practice schedule
Spring football is right around the corner for Sam Pittman and the Arkansas Razorbacks. The program signified that when they released the dates and times of every spring practice that will take place before culminating with the Red-White Game on April 15.
Unlike past seasons, this year’s Red-White Game will not interfere with Oaklawn’s Arkansas Derby on April 1. Instead, the game will be part of what the university is calling “Wooo Pig Weekend.”
The rules of spring football for FBS programs are that they are allowed to have 15 practices within a 34-day period. That period does not include spring break. Three of those practices have to be non-contact, eight of those twelve remaining practices can have tackling and three of those eight can be full 11-on-11 scrimmages. Full contact is not permitted until after the third practice.
Below are the dates and times of all 15 practices for Arkansas football this spring.
