Fledgling Hogs get more time

FAYETTEVILLE -- Koilan Jackson and Connor Noland connected for a huge gain to open Sunday's scrimmage work for the University of Arkansas football team.

The Razorbacks have been devoting live scrimmage time to their younger players over the past eight days, since a 45-31 loss to Vanderbilt dropped the Razorbacks out of bowl eligibility.

Arkansas Coach Chad Morris said the veteran players having been going through their work as normal, but practice time has been reduced to leave about 20 minutes at the end to bring along the younger set.

"Koilan Jackson caught a big pass last night for a big gain," Morris said, while also pointing out positive work from offensive players like linemen Ryan Winkel, Shane Clenin and Silas Robinson and quarterbacks Noland and John Stephen Jones.
