FAYETTEVILLE — Gabe Richardson strives to be the same guy every day.
There is no doubt he is a positive person, full of confidence and personality. All of the physical tools are there, too, at a chiseled 6-3, 240 pounds.
When senior defensive end Dorian Gerald was lost for the season after Week 1 with a strained artery in his neck, Richardson didn't try to fill Gerald's void all by himself. He understood that would be a by-committee task split between him and a handful of Arkansas freshmen, including Mataio Soli, Collin Clay and Zach Williams.
In the Razorbacks' first full game without Gerald on Saturday at Ole Miss, Richardson led the team's defensive ends group and put together the most productive game of his career.
