It Hasn’t Taken Long for’ QBs to Get Overall Petrino’s Orchestrated Approach

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Nothing from the Arkansas Razorbacks’ quarterbacks about offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino was particularly surprising to anyone who paid attention when he was around in his first run from 2008-11. Everybody likes what his offenses are noted for doing.

The current quarterbacks were too young to remember any of that, and only had information second-hand or from watching television. It’s probably nothing like the crash course in offensive football they’ve been getting since Petrino arrived in December after a year at Texas A&M.

“I love how he wants us to be explosive in the run game, as well as in the pass game,” Malachi Singleton said Saturday. “He just wants us to be smart football players. He gives us the keys to the offense, like Jacolby was saying earlier. It’s on us to get us in the right play, get us in the right run checks. Really just having the keys to the offense and being able to play my game and our game, just really been grateful for it.”
