FAYETTEVILLE — Two words are sure to bring a smile to any college football player's face this time of year.
Bowl gifts.

"Bowl games are fun," Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen said. "Looking back at my freshman year (2013), we were just sitting on our couch with nothing. Anytime you can get to a bowl game and get some stuff, gift some gifts, it's just fun.
