Take Arkansas out of SEC play and the Razorbacks can score a ton such as putting up 73 points on Nicholls State, 49 on Texas Tech, 52 on Northern Illinois and 45 on UAB during non-conference games last season.

The Razorbacks don't need injured Jonathan Williams when they still have Alex Collins, one of the best running backs in the country, an experienced quarterback, a pair of outstanding tight end and a mammoth offensive line. Collins has exceeded 1,000 yards rushing each of the last two years - and that was splitting carries with Williams.

UTEP surrendered more than 28 points a game last season and lacks the defensive size and talent to handle Arkansas, but its offense can score. The Miners scored 26 or more points nine times last year. They have a very good running back, too, in 1,300-yard rusher Aaron Jones and a stout offensive line that has four starters back. Arkansas lost much of its starting defense from a year ago.
