Proficient passing

FAYETTEVILLE -- If the Arkansas Razorbacks were challenged by the offense presented by Eastern Illinois of the FCS level last Saturday, they better buckle up for Saturday's assignment.

Colorado State, spurred by skill-position transfers K.J. Carta-Samuels and receiver Preston Williams, has racked up 718 passing yards in its first two games.

The Rams rank 15th in the country with 359 passing yards per game, three spots ahead of Arkansas, which is 18th after compiling 353 passing yards in its season-opening 55-20 victory on Saturday.

The Arkansas defense is tied for second with a plus-5 turnover margin after forcing six fumbles -- and recovering five of them -- in downing Eastern Illinois.
