Senior looks to get thrown into mix

FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- Nine Arkansas Razorbacks caught passes in last week's opener against Eastern Illinois, but surprisingly Jared Cornelius wasn't one of them.

Cornelius, a fifth-year senior, has 79 career receptions for 1,163 yards and 10 touchdowns to lead all current Razorbacks.

After missing the final nine games last season because of an Achilles tendon injury, Cornelius returned to the field against Eastern Illinois, but the only time he touched the ball was making a fair catch on a punt return.

In 32 snaps at slot receiver, Cornelius didn't have any passes thrown to him.
