FAYETTEVILLE — It was a no-excuses game.
Thanks to the first and fourth quarters, the University of Arkansas didn’t have to make any.
The Razorbacks scored 45 of their 55 points in those periods to beat Colorado State 55-34.
One boon for the Razorbacks was the play of Nick Starkel at quarterback. He was very solid. Certainly not perfect, but good enough to win.
He threw for three touchdowns, matching the entire offense’s output in the first two games, and completed 20 of 35 passes for 305 yards.
And two true freshman receivers stood out.
