FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen spent much of the preseason answering questions about whether the Razorbacks finally had play-making options at wide receiver.
It turns out those questions might have been about the wrong position.
Led by tight ends Hunter Henry and Jeremy Sprinkle, No. 18 Arkansas (1-0) rolled to a 48-13 win over UTEP in its season opener. The duo combined for 102 yards receiving in the win, helping Allen throw for a career-high 308 yards and easing concerns about a passing game that's struggled to equal the Razorbacks' power-running game in recent years.
