FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS - The Arkansas Razorbacks spent Thursday workouts preparing for a scrimmage on Saturday to cap their second week of preseason practice. <br>
<br>
Coach Houston Nutt said he was impressed with the secondary, though he said players overall seemed tired going into Thursday's practice, which included an indoor and an outdoor session. <br>
<br>
``We had to crank them up, but once we got going we had a good practice,'' Nutt said. <br>
<br>
He said he has seen solid improvement in Tony Bua, Vickiel Vaughn and Lerinezo Robinson. <br>
<br>
Nutt said he wants to see several players step up and gain confidence before the regular season starts. <br>
<br>
``I want to see the Tony Ugohs, Titus Peebles, Chase Pressleys, Jayson Johnson and James Johnson come out,'' Nutt said. ``I want to see those guys really make a push and some positive strides.'' <br>
<br>
Nutt said quarterback Robert Johnson has a good arm, but a sore shoulder. He also said the team needs quarterback Cedric Washington on the field. <br>
<br>
``As far as knowing when to run a post, a square, a dig or a come back, those things he knows what to do,'' Nutt said. ``It's just the putting the polish on.'' <br>
<br>
Ugoh has a sprained Achilles tendon, but Nutt hopes he will return. <br>
<br>
Arkansas' Fan Day begins Saturday afternoon, followed by a team scrimmage at Razorback Stadium.
