FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) The Arkansas Razorbacks took to the practice field Tuesday with one man on the mind Vanderbilt quarterback Jay Cutler.<br> <br> ``When Jay Cutler comes to that line of scrimmage we need every fan to play every play with us,&#39;&#39; Arkansas coach Houston Nutt said. ``We truly need them to be the 12th man.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> Nutt said that Vanderbilt is coming off a road victory over Wake Forest and that makes the Commodores even more dangerous as an opponent.<br> <br> ``They have a lot of confidence going right now with the win they had on the road,&#39;&#39; Nutt said. ``This is going to be a tremendous challenge for us.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> The Razorbacks spent two hours in full pads practice on Tuesday to prepare for the Saturday match.<br> <br> ``Besides great preparation this week, we really need the fans to make this the most hostile environment come Saturday at 6 o&#39;clock,&#39;&#39; Nutt said.<br> <br> Even though Arkansas leads the nation in rushing yards, Nutt said he needs to have his players focus on passing because he expects the blitz from Vanderbilt.<br> <br> ``We have to continue to keep blocking and executing,&#39;&#39; Nutt said. ``We have to execute our passing game and throw and catch. Were still mixing in new formations.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> Kick off Saturday is at Razorback Stadium.<br> <br> (Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
