FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas freshman quarterback Connor Noland started the Razorbacks' game against Tulsa on Saturday, becoming the first true freshman to start a game for Arkansas in 12 years.
Noland, a Greenwood native who has played in only one other game this season, will get the start in place of Ty Storey, who was knocked out of last week's game against Ole Miss with an unspecified injury. Arkansas coach Chad Morris said Wednesday that Storey had been cleared to practice, but never went so far as to say Storey would start or play against Tulsa.
Storey has started five games this season - all losses - and has completed 81 of 142 passes for 983 yards, 7 touchdowns and 5 interceptions.
