TUSCALOOSA, Alabama - Tom Murphy, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Razorback beat reporter (and former Press-Register Alabama beat reporter), has agreed to answer questions throughout the week leading to No. 14 Arkansas visiting No. 3 Alabama.
Q: Alabama's special teams have been a concern through three games. What about Arkansas? Do the Razorbacks have the specialists to pull out a close game?
A: Joe Adams and Marquel Wade are both fast and deadly in open space, and they were clearly the best athletes on the field during their three touchdown returns in games one and two.
Troy did well at punting away from the duo, and the Trojans did not allow a kickoff return to Wade.
The Razorbacks are No. 3 nationally in kickoff returns (33.0) a vast upgrade from last season.
Field goal kicker Zach Hocker is a confident sophomore with 50-yard-plus range and a good career percentage (.826 on 19 of 23, including 7 of 10 from 40 yards and longer). He missed a game-winning attempt in overtime at Mississippi State last year.
