Ridgeway was listed as the starting DT on the Razorbacks' depth chart for last week's game against Rice but did not dress; he has been nursing an injury. He is listed again as the starting DT for this week's game against t.u., but no indication yet from the coaches as to whether they will continue to hold him out or if he will be good to go. WPS!

Just saw Jrob and James O in at the same time for the Jaguars. Urban is in way over his head at the NFL level it feels to me. They didn't even try and run Jrob at all for the 1st series.

Nice article that mentions Ridgeway. Big win for Arkansas and a good Arkansas D it appears. I sure wish Ridgeway was still a Redbird but it appears he made a good choice becoming a Razorback.

On the highlights, it looked like Robinson was open along the sidelines but Trevor threw the ball down field into coverage. Obviously JR was a work horse last year and it looks like he won't get as many carries this year. However, that may help him remain healthy and get that second contract in the league.

I have seen so much praise for Ridgeway all over twitter. It has me thinking a lot about what could've been with him and Hickcox (can't recall if Hickcox committed before or after Ridgeway was known to be headed out but I think it was before. I am happy for John though, I might just have to tune into a Razorback game in the coming weeks. It seems the transfer has worked for him signficantly better than it has for a lot of our other players who transferred up. Just an absolute monster. He found a great fit at Arkansas it appears.

SEC on CBS Game of the Week for September 25 will be Texas A&M vs. Arkansas. Coverage starts at 2:30pm central time. This will be Ridgeway's (and Arkansas') second time on national television this year.

Ridgeway has a 5:45 minute interview session from yesterday on You Tube: "John Ridgeway reacts to dominant debut with the Razorbacks."

Birds will be playing @ SIU @ 2:00. If game is not going well this could be a 2nd option.

Only got to watch the first quarter of the Arkansas-Georgia Southern game in person. Our seats were in the sun and our youngest was getting close to having a sunburn, even with two applications of sunscreen, so we had to ditch with the Razorbacks up 14-0 on their way to a 45-10 win. No doubt that Ridgeway belongs in the SEC. He is part of a good, deep defensive line that has a combination of players with size, strength, and quickness the coaches rotate to suit the down and distance.

There is something rewarding about knowing that Ridgway is only a part-time player at Arkansas, and Charles would his special teams only playerAt West Virginia so it's very nice and very rewarding knowing that they left in the team ISU need you most I wish them the worst of success

Ridgeway is starting on the Arkansas D-line. They rotate personnel like virtually every team does. This was an uncalled-for statement and inaccurate. These young men have a short few years to make the most out of their careers and the environment in college football has changed. I don't like the change myself. I would rather be back in the era where players stayed in place but that is not where we are at. To wish them the worst of success is selfish and hateful. I don't usually respond to posts like this but these young men are doing what they think is best for them and I am glad they played for ISU and wish them the best in the future. Think before you post. It is a damn game and these are young men trying to find their way and what is best for them. They don't deserve these kinds of statements. If I am out of line I apologize in advance to the administrators but I could not let this go without comment.

Yesterday Ridgeway blocked a pass that was intercepted to get an upset win at A&M.
