So there you have it. The quarterback competition, at least the one for starter, has officially been won. Austin Allen is your starting quarterback for the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Allen was the leader in last weekend's scrimmage and has been the official backup quarterback for the last two seasons. Per UA:

Allen completed 15 of 18 passes for 213 yards and three touchdowns during last Saturday’s 100-play scrimmage.
