CLAY HENRY, HAWGS ILLUSTRATEDThe big question is how much playing time will the Arkansas backup quarterback get. A quick start will help ease Bret Bielema’s mind on when to insert either Cole Kelley or Ty Storey. Arkansas, 63-7.
DUDLEY E. DAWSON, HAWGS ILLUSTRATED The Razorbacks roll and get confidence for the TCU game while FAMU gets a big paycheck for its Thursday night appearance at War Memorial Stadium. Arkansas, 55-17.
BO MATTINGLY, SPORTS TALK WITH BO The 10-hour bus trip home to Tallahassee will feel a lot longer than it did on the way to Little Rock for FAMU. Arkansas needs to put up 50 just to thank fans for showing up. Arkansas, 52-13.
HARRY KING, HAWGS ILLUSTRATED That long-held theory about big improvement between the opener and second game might be reflected in Arkansas’ winning margin. The Rattlers played Texas Southern on Aug. 26. So, instead of 50, make it Arkansas, 49-7.
BART POHLMAN, SPORTS TALK WITH BO There are cupcakes for openers, and then there’s FAMU — a program that hasn’t seen the FCS postseason since 2001. Arkansas should have its way with the Rattlers, who might want to load up their bus at halftime. Arkansas, 58-10.
TOMMY CRAFT, ESPN ARKANSAS This one looks on paper like a typical season opener against a no-name opponent. I’m expecting an impressive showing from the running game and a long trip home for FAMU. Arkansas, 55-13.
CHIP SOUZA, NORTH-WEST ARKANSAS DEM-OCRAT-GAZETTE The Razorbacks get a big game from sophomore Devwah Whaley, but Little Rock fans go home disappointed that FAMU did not bring its incredible marching band. Arkansas, 41-14.
