SEC Network analyst says Arkansas QB Austin Allen ‘eyeballed’ some throws
Published:
Former NFL tight end and current SEC Network analyst Anthony Becht said Tuesday on Bo Mattingly’s radio show that Razorbacks quarterback Austin Allen “eyeballed” some receivers during the Hogs’ 21-20, escape-act win against Louisiana Tech.
Becht: Austin Allen eyeballed some receivers a little bit. That was something they noticed in the spring game.

Becht called the game for the SEC Network.
The junior forced a couple of throws and got picked off twice, once in the red zone. But he was mostly effective overall, going 20-of-29 for 191 yards and two touchdowns. Allen led the team down the field to take the lead in the fourth quarter, hitting tight end Jeremy Sprinkle for a 4-yard touchdown strike on 4th-and-goal.
He was making his first start replacing older brother Brandon Allen, who departed the program after last season as one of the most prolific quarterbacks in program history.
