While Saturday's game on the Hill provided a very positive beginning to Arkansas' 2004 season, the Razorbacks weren't the only ones making a positive debut. A slew of young Hogs played their first collegiate game Saturday, and none stood apart from their peers and blended in with the seasoned veterans like true freshmen Peyton Hillis and Marcus Monk.

Clint Eastwood once starred in a movie titled "The Good, the Bad, the Ugly." A more appropriate name may not be found for the Arkansas Razorbacks' 63-13 shellacking of the New Mexico State Aggies on Saturday.
First, the good. In a year when the Hogs desperately need fresh faces to step up, they have.

Sunday afternoon the Lady'Backs soccer team played host to the Sooners of Oklahoma for what was their second game of the weekend. The Lady'Backs entered the game high on the Hill, coming off an uplifting victory over Tulsa Friday night (the first Arkansas victory against the Golden Hurricanes since 1994), and looking to improve on their overall season record of 2-1-0.

With the New Mexico State Aggies visiting Fayetteville tomorrow to kickoff the Razorbacks 2004 season, head coach Houston Nutt is preparing the team for everything that the Aggies could throw their way. And even Nutt will concede that it could be anything.

Tomorrow the Hogs open up their 2004 campaign when the New Mexico State Aggies come to play on The Hill. With all of the anxiety and anticipation from coaches, players and fans alike, I couldn't help looking ahead and wondering how the season could turn out for this young, talented group.

Chris Balesiro knows pressure. He knows when it's crunch time.
Balesiro was relatively unknown when the 2003 season began, but did not take long for all of Arkansas to recognize who No. 55 was. In the rain and lightning at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

QUARTERBACKS
New Mexico State senior quarterback Buck Pierce had no problem throwing the football against an all-star Arkansas secondary last year, completing 19 of 26 passes for 214 yards and two touchdowns. Pierce will see the majority of the snaps under center Saturday, but dual-threat receiver turned quarterback Paul Dombrowski may see some time under center as well to give the Arkansas defense a different look.

Zac Tubbs has a big pair of shoes to fill. But at 6-6 and 351 pounds, Tubbs has the body to fill in where All-American right tackle Shawn Andrews left off.
Andrews, who was named to 10 national and Southeastern Conference first teams and as a finalist for the Outland and Lombardi Trophies, left the UA last December to pursue a career in the National Football League.

Gambling can pay off with huge sums of money or can drive people to the brink of their sanity and bankruptcy. In the case of former Southern Cal receiver Mike Williams, he gambled and lost, but will eventually get the money that he is worth as a football player.

Shawn Andrews? He's in Philadelphia. Mark Bokermann? Graduated. Dan Doughty? Gone. Bo Lacy? He's a Pittsburgh Steeler. Jerry Reith? Not here, either.
Not a single offensive lineman from last year's Independence Bowl run returns for the 2004 campaign. The door is now open for this unproven crop of new big ole' boys to fill the void.
