September 5, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  4 Comments

Ryan Mallett will make his fair share of highlight-reel plays this season. His cannon of an arm will produce touchdown tosses and a few jaw-dropping throws on a rope that many quarterbacks in the nation can't provide. But what about his presence in the pocket when the routes fail or the protection...

Wrap it up: Reviewing Arkansas' 44-3 victory (with video)

September 4, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  3 Comments

Arkansas didn't look very sharp at times, even if Ryan Mallett did look the part of a Heisman contender in the 44-3 victory over Tennessee Tech. Penalties, miscues, fumbles and, yes, a few bad decisions by Mallett hurt Arkansas early in the first half. Still, it was Mallett who stole the...

I've been saving some footage from Arkansas' media day to unload on a day such as this. Below you will find a couple of one-on-one videos (the Ryan Mallett one you've probably already seen) and a short video of Arkansas players with an open mic and opportunity to deliver a...

August 30, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  7 Comments

Arkansas Coach Bobby Petrino spoke for about 30 minutes this afternoon at the first ever Northwest Arkansas Touchdown Club luncheon. He hit on several items, most of which are generic things we've heard throughout camp. But here are a few tid-bits that caught my ear. I'll have video from the event...

Coaches still eyeing freshman options at receiver

August 25, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  7 Comments

Arkansas' Fantastic Four needs a new name, but at least one of the three remaining fabulous freshman receivers will get a shot this season on the field. Freshman Marquel Wade, who looked poised to hit the field possibly as a punt returner, left the team last week because of an eligibility...

Razor Review (Day 15): Hogs focus on special teams, offense near end zone

August 21, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  9 Comments

Arkansas' final open practice of the preseason has ended. The players are filtering their way down to The Gardens for the fan day festivities and will be signing plenty of autographs. It's already been a busy Saturday on and off the field. The Hogs got in a two-hour practice filled with...

In fact, after today, the only open practice/scrimmage remaining on the docket will be Saturday at 9 a.m. Arkansas is scheduled to scrimmage Thursday at 7 p.m., but it will be closed to the public. The Razorbacks also threw a curveball to...

Razor Review (Day 12): Running game strong; Hogs focus on linebackers

August 17, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  3 Comments

Arkansas' offense apparently heard the call from its leaders and coaches Tuesday. A couple of lackluster practices have been sprinkled throughout Arkansas' camp, and none were perhaps worse than the scene inside Razorback Stadium on Morning morning. The Hogs bounced back for a crisp practice in the afternoon and again Tuesday. Coaches...

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

August 13, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  7 Comments

Steve Caldwell is partying like it's 1978. The first-year Arkansas assistant has a noticeable white spot on his upper lip, which has obviously not been graced by the sun's rays in recent years. The thick, dark mustache peppered with white was a trademark of the longtime Tennessee assistant. But the mustache...

Razor Review (Day 8): Mallett's mistakes 'elementary' as Hogs work overtime

August 12, 2010 |  by Brandon Marcello  |  7 Comments

Garrick McGee likes what he's seeing from Ryan Mallett in his preparation in the film room and the amount of time he spends studying his playbook. But there was something holding Mallett back from performing at a high level Thursday in both of the Razorbacks' two-a-day practices. "He's still making some mistakes...
