Razorbacks starting QB

DJ Wagner, a former Kentucky basketball player, made a significant impact in his first exhibition game with the Arkansas Razorbacks, scoring 24 points in a victory over No. 1 Kansas. Wagner, along with other former Wildcats who transferred to Arkansas, is expected to play a crucial role this season under coach John Calipari, who has a long-standing relationship with Wagner's family. In football, Arkansas is preparing to face Mississippi State, with the defense having recently struggled against LSU but previously performing well against freshman quarterbacks. Arkansas’ running game has been underperforming, leading to the potential rise of freshman Braylen Russell as a key player in the upcoming game. Additionally, freshman defensive players KJ Bolden and Chris Cole have made notable contributions to the Georgia Bulldogs' defense, with Cole receiving praise for his rapid improvement. Both teams are navigating challenges with injuries and inexperience as they head into critical matchups.
