Get-out-of-jail card to any qb that can sniff the endzone?

Fixed - Fulmer can't give up the Krispy Kremes.

very true..what was I thinking. I hope that fat piece of ****** nevers wins another game.

I'd love to see Fulmer booted from UT. It'd serve him right for screwing over Johnny Majors the way he did.

You just showed you know absolutely nothing about the Majors/Fulmer situation.

EDIT: Then again you did just say B-D is awesome...

QFT

Fulmer is where he is...I'm up for just waiting and seeing what happens...

I expected this to happen. Johnson, granted he played better than last year, still looked like someone indecisive about running the quarterback position.


FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) -- Arkansas freshman Mitch Mustain was handed the starting quarterback job on Sunday, less than 24 hours after the Razorbacks lost their season opener to No. 6 Southern California 50-14.

Mustain, one of the nation's top recruits and an Arkansas high school star, made his college debut in the fourth quarter and led the Razorbacks on a touchdown drive. He also threw an interception.

"Mitch has done some good things all through camp," coach Houston Nutt said. "He's been very accurate. He has shown some very good things under pressure. And then he gets in the game and can execute and take us down the field. I just feel like, at this time, you have to give him a shot."

Mustain thrilled Arkansas fans when he decided to play for the Razorbacks after throwing for 3,817 yards and 47 touchdowns in 2005, leading Springdale High School to a state championship.

Mustain was a backup to junior Robert Johnson on Saturday night, but Johnson went only 12-of-25 for 110 yards with two interceptions. With USC ahead 44-7, Mustain entered in the fourth quarter to a warm ovation from the home crowd.

Arkansas drove 80 yards in five plays in just 1:39, and Mustain scored on a 4-yard run. He threw an interception on the Razorbacks' next possession and finished 4-of-6 for 47 yards.

"We are trying to do what is best for our team," Nutt said. "It has been close all through camp. We went with the experienced guy and I think we did the right thing. Let's just see what happens. I know Robert can still be a very good teammate and play a good role for us."

Nutt said Johnson is being asked to move to wide receiver.

Johnson started the first seven games of 2005, but with Arkansas at 2-5, Casey Dick took over. Johnson finished the season with 876 yards passing, and Dick threw for 584. The Razorbacks finished 4-7.

The three quarterbacks competed for the starting job during the preseason. Dick, a sophomore, was bothered by a sore back, and Johnson was chosen over Mustain for the opener. Dick will remain a backup to Mustain.

Yea but at the same time it was encouraging that they just kept shoving the ball down their throat. Little more confidence/killer instinct in the running game than last year. Somewhere in the Big House, Bo was smiling.
