FAYETTEVILLE -- The spark quarterback Nick Starkel provided the Arkansas Razorbacks in the second half of Saturday's 31-17 loss at Ole Miss parlayed into a starting assignment for the junior transfer.
Coach Chad Morris said in his Monday news conference that Starkel would get the nod Saturday over senior Ben Hicks, who started the first two games.
The Razorbacks (1-1) host Colorado State (1-1) on Saturday at 3 p.m. on the back end of a two-game series. The Rams rallied from a 27-9 deficit last year in Week 2 for a 34-27 victory in Fort Collins, Colo.
