FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas freshmen Treylon Burks and Trey Knox both turned in one play apiece last week that shows they have the ability to reach SEC stardom.
Knox made the first of the eye-opening grabs. Working on the right flank on a third-and-6 play in the second quarter, Knox stopped on a dime and contorted in midair to bring in a back-shoulder throw from Ben Hicks on the Arkansas sideline. The 19-yard reception, called a "circus catch" by SEC Network analyst Matt Stinchcomb, came against Auburn cornerback Roger McCreary in tight coverage.
"The one to Trey is what we hung our hat on a lot at our couple of previous stops, at Clemson," Arkansas offensive coordinator Joe Craddock said.
