Even though the Razorbacks are overflowing with offensive talent in receiver Marcus Monk and running backs Felix Jones and Peyton Hillis, they still want McFadden to get the ball between 25 and 30 times a game.

Last season he averaged just more than 20 carries a game, but caught 11 passes and returned 10 kickoffs. He also played quarterback in the "Wildcat" set and completed seven of nine passes with three going for touchdowns.

This spring Arkansas coaches have been working to expand the "Wildcat" to further utilize McFadden's ability. They've also agreed to let him return punts.

"He wanted to do it," Nutt said. "That's one area he wanted to improve. He will make (opponents) think twice because you don't want to punt to him. And, of course, he has good hands."

Good enough to take hold of the Heisman? His teammates hope so.

I say put both McFadden and Jones back there and let them pick their poison.

w00t! This will lead to a lot of angled kicks out of bounds. :D
