FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Arkansas linebacker Sam Olajubutu will miss Saturday night's game against Louisiana-Monroe because of a left knee injury suffered in the Razorbacks' 38-3 victory over Ole Miss.<br>
<br>
Olajubutu has a bone bruise and a severely sprained ligament. The No. 13 Razorbacks hope he'll be back for their Nov. 4 game at South Carolina.<br>
<br>
Olajubutu has 72 tackles this season, by far the most on the team. He also has 2.5 sacks. Coach Houston Nutt was relieved Olajubutu's injury wasn't more serious.<br>
<br>
``I think it's exceptional news for us. I don't want anyone to get hurt on our team, but I'm just glad we still have him,'' Nutt said. ``Could definitely be worse.''<br>
<br>
Defensive end Antwain Robinson, who has 5.5 sacks, has a sprained ankle. Nutt said Robinson seemed better Sunday, although the coach said that might be because the Louisiana-Monroe game is in Little Rock. Robinson went to high school at Little Rock Central.<br>
<br>
``He did look better. I think it's because we're going to Little Rock. That's what I teased him about,'' Nutt said. ``I said any other day you'd have been laying up in the training room. He acts like he wants to play now.''
