Hogwired.com: Razorbacks Turn Focus to Alabama

Arkansas QB Robert Johnson left the Southern California game in the second quarter with headaches and a sore back, but returned to regular form on Tuesday afternoon. Nutt was encouraged by his effort and expects him to be ready to go by game day.

"Robert Johnson is doing really well right now,” Nutt said. “He's a little sore and bruised, but he's tough and he's fighting through it. It was more his back, but he doesn't have any headaches today."

Reggie Herring on Razorback Nation:

"I took this job...nobody twisted my arm. And the easiest thing to do, like I said, would be quit or get fired. That would be doing me a favor. The hard part is we've got to get this thing turned around...and I was hired to do that...and we're going to bow up and get it done.

And if we don't, won't nobody have to ask me to leave, I'll leave before the words can come out of their mouth. But I was put here to do a job...these coaches...these players...and we're going to see this thing through."
