Defense gets some turnovers in Arkansas practice

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) The defense outshone the offense in Friday&#39;s first full-pads workout by the Razorback football team.<br> <br> ``The defense got some turnovers today and did a good job,&#39;&#39; coach Houston Nutt said. ``They got two interceptions and a fumble recovery.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> Nutt said the team was working on ``gobble&#39;&#39; situations, ``which basically means you gobble up the clock. We&#39;re trying to make two first downs and the defense must take it away. The defense won today. They took the ball away from us and we can&#39;t have that.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> Nutt said all three candidates for starting quarterback need to work more on taking care of the ball.<br> <br> ``It didn&#39;t matter who it was, they were turning it over,&#39;&#39; Nutt said.<br> <br> The Arkansas coach also expressed concerns about how some players responded to the heat, which reached the mid-90s on Friday.<br> <br> ``We had a good day until right at the end,&#39;&#39; Nutt said. ``We&#39;ve got to get mentally tougher. This is a tough man&#39;s game. It&#39;s been hot and a lot of our guys have bumps and bruises, but this is where you fight through some things. There are some fighting through it and some that haven&#39;t. We want to continue to get better and the only way you can do that is to stay on the field and stay mentally strong.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> Two freshmen tailbacks, Darren McFadden and Michael Smith, sat out Friday&#39;s practice. McFadden has a minor knee sprain, while Smith has a slight knot in his hamstring.<br> <br> Saturday will be the first two-a-day practice, with the morning practice inside in shorts and shoulder pads and the afternoon practice outdoors in full pads.<br> <br> (Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press.
