FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas closed its training camp with Saturday's Beanie Bowl at Reynolds Razorback Stadium, with junior Nick Starkel taking the first reps at quarterback with the starting unit.
A few hundred fans filed into Razorback Stadium on a warm, muggy afternoon for the Beanie Bowl, which was held exactly one week from the kickoff time for the season opener against Portland State.
The Razorbacks, wearing their new "McFadden Era" throwback red jerseys, ran through a scripted mock game for about 70 minutes, including some special teams work and pre-designed plays such as a targeting call, a safety, an interception and fumble, and a mock fight between center Ty Clary and defensive tackle Nick Fulwider.
