FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) _ Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen has quickly put any

first-year concerns to rest after his first three games as the starter.



The junior will next face his most difficult test yet when the No. 17

Razorbacks (3-0) take on No. 10 Texas A&M (3-0) in AT&T Stadium near Dallas this

week.



Allen entered the season having attempted only 19 passes in his career, but

after three weeks he leads Southeastern Conference quarterbacks in passing

efficiency _ just ahead of Mississippi quarterback Chad Kelly.



He has completed 53 of 79 passes (67.1 percent) for the season, throwing for

655 yards and seven touchdowns with only two interceptions, and he’s thrown five

touchdowns and no interceptions in his last two games.
