Ryan Silverfield discusses Arkansas center and running back battles

Arkansas football coach Ryan Silverfield addressed position battles at center and running back during his weekly press conference on October 12. Sophomore Kash Courtney replaced Caden Kitler at center during the Razorbacks' last game, which ended in a 24-17 loss to Tennessee. With Kitler battling an injury, both players have shown capability, but Silverfield has not yet announced a change to the starting lineup. In the running back rotation, Sutton Smith, Braylen Russell, and Cam Settles' usage was evaluated after a game where they combined for significant plays but saw inconsistent touches. Silverfield indicated the need for a more balanced approach as the team prepares for a matchup against Vanderbilt.
