Armed and not ready

FAYETTEVILLE -- Chad Morris was asked Saturday whether it was conceivable he could play two quarterbacks in the season opener for the Arkansas Razorbacks against Eastern Illinois.

Morris thought for a second and responded in the affirmative: "Yes, I could see that."

The question and answer go beyond the obvious notion the Razorbacks should be in position to comfortably use two quarterbacks against Eastern Illinois, an FCS school that will be at a significant talent disadvantage against the University of Arkansas on Sept. 1.

The Razorbacks have a true quarterback battle for the first time since 2006, when Robert Johnson, Mitch Mustain and Casey Dick all got starts as the signal caller.
