DB room welcomes fresh help

FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas' secondary has gotten a much-needed shot in the arm the past couple of weeks.

Sixth-year senior Kevin Richardson received his first real playing time on defense in last week's 24-17 loss to Texas A&M and could be in position to start at nickel back Saturday against No. 1 Alabama. Additionally, cornerback Britto Tutt was back at practice after missing a couple of games with a leg injury.

Richardson, who had the only interception against Alabama's Jalen Hurts last year, was asked whether his playing time might bump up now that's he's back in shape after foot surgery.
