FAYETTEVILLE -- In the rush for the Arkansas Razorbacks to resurrect their running game, it gets forgotten the major blow their passing game just suffered.
Late in Arkansas' 16-12 loss to 21-point underdog Toledo last Saturday in Little Rock, the Razorbacks lost Keon Hatcher even though he was the intended receiver on the game's last play.
Turns out Hatcher ran that last end zone pattern despite a broken bone in his foot. It required surgery. Now comes the mending projected for a minimum six weeks.
Hatcher -- Arkansas' leading receiver through 2 games this season with 13 catches for 198 yards and 2 touchdowns and last season's top receiver with 43 catches for 558 yards -- and junior tight end Hunter Henry -- who has 10 catches for 159 yards this season after piling up 37 receptions for 513 yards and 2 touchdowns last season -- have always been quarterback Brandon Allen's favorite targets.
