Starkel gets starting nod vs. Colorado State

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas will start its second quarterback in three weeks Saturday when it hosts Colorado State.

Razorbacks coach Chad Morris, who did not want to discuss plans for the position following Arkansas’ SEC-opening loss at Ole Miss, named graduate transfer quarterback Nick Starkel the team’s starter at his Monday press conference previewing the week.

"You know, we felt like coming out of half … it wasn’t so much what Ben (Hicks) did or didn’t do," Morris said. "It’s what Nick did. We were looking for a spark, something to get our offense moving, create some momentum, create some yards, give an opportunity for some big plays.
