Receivers heat up with heat

FAYETTEVILLE -- Receivers Jared Cornelius and Keon Hatcher made the day's best catches as the Arkansas Razorbacks conducted an open practice of a little more than two hours, mostly in the sizzling heat of the outdoor practice fields Saturday.

Cornelius got a step on cornerback D.J. Dean on the right sideline and hauled in a perfectly thrown pass of intermediate depth from Brandon Allen on the second play of the opening team period. The Razorbacks worked in shoulder pads and thigh pads with limited contact, which gave the passing game a chance to shine.

Hatcher ran an intermediate curl with Jared Collins in his hip pocket, but he managed to snatch the ball away from a breakup attempt by the cornerback to grab an Allen pass eight snaps later.
