Razor Review: Veteran Hogs, Mallett crisp as fall camp begins

August 5, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  4 Comments

Ryan Mallett looked rusty at times, a little off with his throws and timing, but his left foot was not a problem Thursday as Arkansas took the field for the first day of fall camp. For the first day of practice, the once-hobbled Mallett at least passed the eye test. "The leg...

Ryan Mallett's foot has been on the minds of Arkansas fans for the last six months (see Foot Watch). Entering fall practice, the pressure to perform, rest those minds and show that his foot is fine may only be outweighed by the high expectations surrounding the program. Sure he's set records...

Greater Expectations: Wilson's Mallett-less spring ends with mixed results

April 24, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  16 Comments

The pressure may just be building on Tyler Wilson going into the summer, even if his performance Saturday in the Red-White game wasn't all that bad. Wilson struggled at times, but still was consistent by completing 8 of 15 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown. Even so, he looked flustered at...

Day 10 Observations: Defense steps up, has best day of spring

April 16, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  5 Comments

Arkansas' defense brought the pressure early but was burned. The offense scored touchdowns on three of their first four possessions, and each touchdown came on throws of 30 yards or greater. It looked to be the same story, different day in the Hogs' third scrimmage of the spring Friday. But add in...

Day 9 Observations: Defense steps up in physical practice

April 14, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  2 Comments

Arkansas' ninth practice of the spring may have been its most physical and, as a result, was the best performance by the defense all spring. The defense came up with seven interceptions Wednesday, including a couple of acrobatic grabs. Sophomore Darius Winston led the way with two interceptions off quarterback Nick...

Day 8 Observations: Defense taking their hits; players absent Tuesday

April 13, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  2 Comments

Arkansas' defense has certainly taken some jabs and uppercuts this spring. They've allowed plenty of big plays by Arkansas' offense, and allowed nearly 1,000 yards of offense in a marathon, 164-play scrimmage on Friday. But, talk to the coaches and players, there are signs of improvement. Even if there are missed...

You only had to watch a few plays of Arkansas' scrimmage to understand what Coach Bobby Petrino wanted to accomplish Friday in the team's second scrimmage of the spring. Three of the first six plays were receptions by a tight end. It was obvious that, less than a week after speedster...

April 9, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  2 Comments

Arkansas' second scrimmage of the season ended at 6:30 p.m., lasting about two-and-a-half hours inside Razorback Stadium. By my count, the Razorbacks went 164 plays. The Razorbacks worked hard on getting the ball to the tight ends in a scrimmage that saw 18 different players come up with catches. Six players...
