Charting progress: Mallett striving to improve completion percentage

August 26, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  5 Comments

Bobby Petrino isn't the type to be shy or coy when issuing a challenge to his players. But he is hesitant — at least publicly — to address specific items in the Arkansas record book. Still, Petrino didn't hide the fact last August that he wanted an Arkansas quarterback to break Kevin...

McGee, Hogs still waiting on leader to emerge among running backs

August 24, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  14 Comments

Arkansas' foursome of running backs has been criticized by their coaches for hesitating on cuts, making wrong decisions and not breaking tackles in one-on-one situations this preaseason. There hasn't been much in the way of big plays, as a result. But it's crunch time for the Razorbacks, who will settle on...

Razor Review (Day 9): A close shave, Mallett bounces back and a roster vacancy

August 13, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  7 Comments
