Prior to his benching, Harris was 1-4 for eight yards. Just needing a lot more bodies, more people who could run and go downfield. Jeremy Sprinkle admitted this week that he didn’t have the proper spacing on his route on Allen’s second-quarter interception against Louisiana Tech, resulting in an extra defender being in the area of Allen’s intended target Drew Morgan.

However, no team should expect to start a new season as explosive as its last two after needing to replace a brilliant, Heisman-hopeful starter in Trevone Boykin at quarterback. Increasing size up front can be a big help and adding a playmaker like Summers to the front seven will lead to more splash plays that can change the momentum in the Frog’s favor. Arkansas lost a fumble at its 15, and Stamp had another touchdown pass to Washington.
