Big plays show freshmen's growth

FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas freshmen Trey Knox and Devin Bush turned in the day's biggest scoring plays, and the defense maintained its spring dominance during the annual Red-White game on Saturday.

The defense capitalized on an accumulation of three-and-out series, sacks and tackles for loss, then got a big boost on Bush's interception return for a touchdown to send the Red-clad defense to a 39-33 victory before an estimated crowd of 10,064 at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

The Razorbacks played in more sunshine than in the past two spring games on a warm and breezy afternoon.

"Man, what a difference a year makes, and the weather," Coach Chad Morris said, referencing the improvement after his second spring and the freezing precipitation the Razorbacks endured in their 2018 Red-White game.
