Younger QB Allen maturing

FAYETTEVILLE -- Coach Bret Bielema asserted on Sunday that sophomore quarterback Austin Allen has turned a corner from a developmental standpoint, and Allen, the second-teamer behind his brother Brandon, stamped his agreement on those comments after Monday's workout.

"I had to cut a few things out of my life that I knew just weren't helping me to get how good I could get," Allen said, referencing an improved diet and a stronger commitment to working out.

Bielema said he was in the Fred Smith Football Center early on a Saturday morning in the summer and saw Allen doing a "pretty heavy training exercise" on his own.
