No Razor's Edge Margin Here

   Arkansas takes another shaky step through a frightening four-game gauntlet against No. 7 Texas. A week after their traumatic five-TD loss to then-No. 9 Alabama, the Razorbacks can expect no mercy. The two schools vie for the same high school recruits out of the Lone Star State, and Mack Brown wants to make an impression on any youngsters torn between the two.

   Next up for Arkansas: No. 4 Florida. Then, No. 15 Auburn. Only after that will the Razorbacks get a non-ranked opponent: unbeaten-for-now Kentucky.

   Wonder why Houston Nutt flew the coop for Ole Miss? He saw the schedule, then the "year" column on the roster.

   Those 22 freshmen (including three starters) who Bobby Petrino lifted from the cradle and sent out for duty are growing up fast. Too fast.
