The beginning was quick and then I slowed down but it was important not

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Bret Bielema talked throughout the offseason about the need to start the season well.After two losses in the last three games, the Arkansas coach is now counting on the No. 22 Razorbacks (4-2, 0-2 Southeastern Conference) to again finish strong if they hope to improve their win total for a fourth straight season.Arkansas most recent loss was a 49-30 setback to No. 1 Alabama last week, the schools 10th straight to the Crimson Tide. The Razorbacks also lost three weeks ago to No. 6 Texas A&M, and the schedule doesnt get any easier this week when they host No. 12 Mississippi (3-2, 1-1).Yeah, weve lost to two teams in the SEC West that are also two teams that are probably in the top five in the country by a lot of peoples perspective, Bielema said. The SEC West is pretty good, if you havent noticed.The last time Arkansas lost its first two SEC games was in 2014, when the school eventually lost its first five conference games on the way to an 0-13 start to Bielemas SEC career.That season, the Razorbacks recovered from their early woes by winning two of their final three SEC games and improving their overall record to 7-6 after winning only three games in Bielemas first season in 2013. Arkansas finished 8-5 last season, but that only came after a 2-4 start that was overcome by six wins in the Razorbacks final seven games.The quick start Bielema stressed was there this year, with three straight wins to open the season, but many in Arkansas are now questioning when -- and if -- the Razorbacks will win another game.At the beginning of the year, everybodys talking about how well were starting fast, Bielema said. Now, I guess weve got the midseason blues.Those blues have the very real possibility of extending into the second half of the season, especially if Arkansas doesnt improve its abysmal offensive line play.The Razorbacks allowed six sacks and 12 hurries of quarterback Austin Allen against the Crimson Tide, and their season total of 13 sacks allowed is only one away from how many the school has allowed in each of the last two seasons.Pass protection isnt the only area where the line is struggling, with Arkansas per-rush average down from 5 yards per carry a season ago to 4.4 this year.If the offensive line is going to improve, it will have to do so against an all-SEC schedule to close out the year. Following this weeks game against the Rebels, Arkansas has five more conference games -- against Auburn, Florida, LSU, Mississippi State and Missouri.Well just take every game as it comes, Bielema said. Obviously, six games in front of us (are) guaranteed and we want to concentrate on the bigger picture, but for us to get where we need to be we just need to worry about Ole Miss.

He was 85.Giancarlo Garozzo, mayor of Syracuse in Sicily, said Maiorca died there but didnt cite cause of death.Maiorcas friendly rivalry with diver Jacques Mayol inspired much of a 1988 film, The Big Blue, directed by Luc Besson. The two divers competed against each other starting in 1966, taking turns as the record holder for free diving.When they reached 249 feet (about 73 meters) in 1970, the International Federation ruled the depths too dangerous and refused to accept further records.Italian media, who had dubbed Maiorca the lord of the abysses, reported that when Maiorca was 57 he dove to a depth of 101 meters (373 feet).After quitting comppetitive diving, an Italian navy statement says, Maiorca dedicated himself to protecting the marine environment.ddddddddddddMaiorca has said he abandoned spear fishing after he felt the beating heart of a grouper he had speared and was trying to capture.I tried my best but the fish was simply fighting to survive, DIVER magazine quoted him as saying in 2014.Maiorca was quoted as saying he did scuba diving into his 80s, but that his free-diving days were behind him.The Sicilian newspaper Il Giornale di Sicilia said Maiorca learned to swim at age 4 but quoted him as saying he had a great fear of the sea.
