PLAYERS TO WATCH
–RB Devwah Whaley, a junior from Beaumont, Texas, has been inconsistent in Arkansas’ first three games. He bounced back from a 28-yard performance in the season opener to post a career-high 165 yards on 26 carries the next week, but had just 12 yards on nine carries against North Texas.
–WR Mike Woods, a freshman from Magnolia, Texas, was Arkansas’ leading receiver in the loss to North Texas. Woods had four receptions for 61 yards. He was suspended from the season opener after an offseason arrest and did not catch a pass the following week.
–DT Armon Watts, a senior from St. Louis, has been a consistent performer with sacks in each of Arkansas’ first three games. He also has forced two fumbles that led to Arkansas touchdowns.
–DL McTelvin Agim, a junior from Texarkana, Texas, who is widely considered one of Arkansas’ most talented players, had four tackles against Colorado State while forcing two fumbles and recovering one.
