Yup. Rafe is looking like he's becoming a solid option.

Love all those that said he'd likely transfer w/o ever seeing the guy in action or giving him a chance.

The guy is Razorback through and through, as a fan you've gotta love that.

It appears Arkansas’ starting quarterback job is Austin Allen’s to lose.

The junior seized control of the QB competition on Saturday with an impressive performance during Arkansas’ team scrimmage. Allen completed 14-of-17 passes for 203 yards and three touchdowns during a pass-heavy exhibition, according to The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s Matt Jones. He also led a 76-yard scoring drive on the final possession of the scrimmage.

Bret Bielema was pleased with Allen’s performance and said Allen has been the most consistent quarterback during the spring, according to The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s Andrew Hutchinson.

Allen’s competition didn’t wilt during the scrimmage. Sophomore Rafe Peavey and freshman Ty Storey both held their own during the practice. Peavey completed 6-of-12 passes for 130 yards, a touchdown and an interception while Storey went 6-of-10 for 95 yards and a touchdown. Freshman Ricky Town got in for one series and completed only one pass for 18 yards.

There’s still a long way to go until the Razorbacks kick off the 2016 season, but it looks more probable by the week that Arkansas’ starting quarterback job will remain within the Allen family. Austin Allen has to be the frontrunner to replace his brother and three-year starter, Brandon Allen. Bielema recognized the younger Allen has shown the most progression throughout the entire spring session.

"He definitely has the best comprehension of what needs to happen,” Bielema said according to Hutchinson.

Guess I missed that they moved Wallace to guard. Not sure what to think of that.

I could get the audio to work in that video link of Bert's post-scrimmage recap. Is it just me?

Also..


Official recap: LINK

quote:

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Arkansas football team held its second scrimmage of the spring Saturday inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

Saturday’s practice, which was open to the public, marked the seventh of 15 workouts scheduled during the spring.

The Razorbacks focused primarily on the run game during its first scrimmage, but Saturday saw a more open playbook with approximately 100 reps of action. Officials were present as the team tried to mimic a game-like setting as much as possible. The scrimmage started with first and second down work before moving to red zone situations and ending with full drives down the field.

Junior quarterback Austin Allen had a solid day, completing 15-of-18 passes for 213 yards and three touchdowns. Each of Allen’s scoring tosses came during red zone work. Allen first found senior wideout Keon Hatcher for an 18-yard score and on the next play hit senior Dominique Reed for a 12-yard touchdown. His final touchdown throw went to redshirt freshman tight end Will Gragg for a 15-yard score. Reed also reeled in a 16-yard touchdown pass from redshirt freshman Ty Storey later in the day, finishing with three catches for 32 yards and two touchdown receptions. Gragg ended the day with four receptions for 43 yards and one touchdown catch.

During one of the later periods when the ball was moved down the field with new down and distance, Allen put together a 76-yard touchdown drive that ended with a 1-yard touchdown run by senior running back Kody Walker.

Walker paced the running backs with 67 yards on 15 carries. Junior running backs Damon Mitchell and Denzell Evans got double-digit carries. Evans tallied 37 yards and had a 10-yard rushing touchdown, while Mitchell totaled 47 yards.

Several other wide receivers and tight ends made big plays, as well. Hatcher totaled three receptions for 52 yards, senior wide receiver Cody Hollister hauled in a 20-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Rafe Peavey during red zone work and redshirt freshman tight end C.J. O’Grady had three catches for 82 yards.

Peavey finished 5-for-12 for 112 yards and one touchdown.

The defense totaled seven sacks on the day led by senior JaMichael Winston with two. Winston along with McTelvin Agim have each recorded a sack in both scrimmages this spring. Sophomore corner Ryan Pulley had a team-best six tackles, while five other players had five stops. Junior De’Andre Coley had a pair of pass breakups.

The Razorbacks will return to the Fred W. Smith outdoor practice fields Monday.

The next chance for fans to catch the Razorbacks in action is at the annual Red-White Spring Game presented by Contour by Cox on Saturday, April 23. Kickoff is scheduled for noon inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. The event is free and open to the public.

Bielema's voice gives out from time to time.

So strange.

He yells a lot. You should listen to a USMC Drill Instructor try and talk normally.

Oline is looking more and more like

Jackson
Froholdt
Ragnow
Wallace
Skipper


Jackson Hannah and Cooper Sone are 2 more walk-ons that are getting reps w/ the 2's according to Coach Anderson interview w/ Ruscin.

I think were in for a treat with Froholdt. Really excited to watch him develop as an Oline member.

It is not a bad sign.

You have to understand what we have on the Dline. We have a very veteran group that is not lacking in the talent department. Of course theyre going to be farther along than the Oline right now. They should be.

Our front four was stout last season and will be even better this season. The Oline will probably not be asserting itself until fall camp.

I don't think that tells the full story with Colton. It's not like he's a true freshman. He's been in the program for quite a while, being advised by really good OL/S&C coaches. Not saying he'll be great or anything, but it wouldn't shock me if his athleticism overcame for some of his inexperience.

Don't know anything about Colton J, but after the first video came out of a spring practice I saw a new number and wanted to know who it was. Kid looked long and athletic. It was Jackson. Again, I know nothing about him, but he looks purty in uniform.

Should say a lot of what the coaches think of Jackson on the left side, Anderson says he's "a natural LT", for Brian Wallace to get moved to Guard.

Paul Ramirez will be in the mix as soon as he steps on campus at LT too. Anderson also isn't counting out Heinrich at a G position either.

I thought the word for last two years has been that Wallace is a natural RT. Even if he played LT this year, there would be a good shot he moved back over next year. I think he was lining up over there out of necessity rather than it being his perfect spot.

I know there was a video a week or two ago where either Anderson or Bielema was talking about it and how he's more natural at right and having to learn the left.
