FAYETTEVILLE — Bobby Allen will be pulling hard for his son, Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen, and the rest of the Razorbacks in the Belk Bowl on Dec. 29.
That means he’ll be pulling against his alma mater.
Allen said he holds great respect for the job first-year Coach Justin Fuente has done at Virginia Tech, which will face the Razorbacks at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.
“Obviously he’s done a phenomenal job,” Allen said of Fuente, who coached the Hokies to a 9-4 record and Atlantic Coast Conference Coastal Division title. “You get all the way to the championship game in your conference and you’ve got a chance to win it, you’ve got to say hats off to him.
