Richardson pops back into place for team after injury

FAYETTEVILLE -- Louisiana Tech receiver Trent Taylor caught a quick pass and zigged.

Arkansas Razorbacks defensive back Kevin Richardson II mirrored the zig, but only got his right arm on the shifty, cat-quick Taylor.

The result of that arm tackle on the second play of the second half of the Razorbacks' 21-20 victory in last season's opener, had deep implications for the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

Richardson, the most versatile Arkansas defensive back, completely tore his pectoral muscle away from the ribs in the upper part of his chest, though he stayed on the field for the rest of the third quarter.
