It was probably more the right thing to do than anything else.
Sunday, 13 days before the Arkansas Razorbacks opener with Louisiana Tech, Bret Bielema privately named redshirt freshman quarterback Ty Storey as the backup to Austin Allen.
Storey, a four-star recruit out of Charleston, had beat out redshirt sophomore Rafe Peavey, who was a four-star dual-threat recruit out of Bolivar, Mo.
Sunday night, Peavey informed Bielema he was going to transfer.
Since classes didn't start until Monday, Peavey could transfer immediately and sit only one year. Had he gone to a single class on the first day of the semester, he would have had to sit an extra year.
