LIVE FROM THE GAME | Arkansas-Eastern Michigan (Pregame)

Happy Halloween! We’re here in the press box watching Arkansas run through its pregame drills in Razorback Stadium. The Razorbacks are actually wearing all red tonight. It’s the red jersey, red pants and red helmets combination.

A few things to run through before we get going here:

• RB Michael Smith is not dress out and looks like he’ll be sitting this one out. It’s the second game Smith has missed in the past three weeks. In addition, cornerback Ramon Broadway is not dressed out because of an injury. And CB Andru Stewart is not going to play tonight.

• WR Joe Adams is dressed out and looks like he’s ready to play for the first time since suffering a minor stroke last month. Adams has missed the past three games. Also, CB Rudell Crim is dressed out and looks like he could play after being slowed by a hip pointer this week.

• One thing to look for tonight: Some changes on defense. There might be some new faces on the starting defense tonight. Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino hinted at it, so we’ll see what happens. Been hard to tell in pregame which guys are ones and which guys are twos.

We won’t be blogging much tonight because of the late kickoff. I’ll try to check in at halftime and maybe leave a comment or two here. But make sure you follow me on Twitter @NWARobbie. I’ll be updated there much more frequently throughout the game.
