FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Casey Dick ...will start for Arkansas Saturday, coach Houston Nutt said.
The red shirt is coming off, Nutt said Sunday, because Dick has impressed his coaches with his passing in practices and has shown the skills to move the offense.
Robert Johnson started the first seven games. Nutt said he would take the blame for Johnson's struggles.
"It's not that I'm saying it's Johnson's fault," Nutt said. "Johnson has done some good things and he's still needed."
Nutt said Dick deserves a chance. Nutt said Dick has thrown against the Arkansas defense all season in practice "and has done very, very well."
"Dick has good instincts," Nutt said. "It's hard to explain. He just has 'it.' Dick just seems to have a knack for making some plays and we're going to give him an opportunity."
