TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars are not quite ready to roll.
Final roster cuts are looming, and several young players competing for jobs have given coach Doug Marrone and his staff a lot to think about.
"The next 48 hours we're going to have to make some tough decisions," Marrone said after fourth-stringer Tim Cook ran for two touchdowns to help the Jaguars close the preseason with a 25-10 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen fought back tears as he answered questions about the 28-21 loss to Mississippi State.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas got more bad news Monday as standout center Frank Ragnow and stellar freshman running back Chase Hayden are now likely to miss the rest of the season with injuries.
The update from coach Bret Bielema was another blow for a team that has lost three straight games in blowout fashion and seven of its last nine overall.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Cole Kelley made some mistakes in his first career start for Arkansas last week, but the freshman quarterback also looked the part of a future full-time starter at times in a 41-9 loss to No. 1 Alabama .
The struggling Razorbacks (2-4, 0-3 Southeastern Conference) appear likely to get another look at Kelley this week against No. 21 Auburn.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Damien Harris and Alabama delivered a message on the first offensive play: They had no intention of becoming the weekend's latest upset victim.
Harris opened with a 75-yard touchdown run and the top-ranked Crimson Tide rode a fast start to a 41-9 victory over Arkansas on Saturday night.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen is expected to play against No. 1 Alabama this weekend even though he is still recovering from a shoulder injury.
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — An unprecedented night by South Carolina's defense may have rescued the Gamecocks season and sent Arkansas back down a familiar, discouraging path.
The Gamecocks (4-2, 2-2 Southeastern) scored three touchdowns on defense — returning two interceptions and a fumble — in a 48-22 win over Arkansas (2-3, 0-2) on Saturday.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Austin Allen has spent much of the season so far trying to regain his form, his coolness and — more than anything — his fun on the football field.
A much-needed win did just that for the relieved Arkansas quarterback along with his teammates on Saturday.
Even Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema took part in the postgame celebration following Arkansas 42-24 win over New Mexico State, taking part in some locker-room shenanigans by doing the Hokey Pokey for his players to watch.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Armani Watts intercepted a pass in overtime and Texas A&M extended its win streak to six games against Arkansas with a 50-43 victory on Saturday.
Christian Kirk had given the Aggies the lead on a 10-yard touchdown reception, his third score of the day, on the first possession of overtime before Watts intercepted Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen in the end zone on a third-down play.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen emerged as one of the top quarterbacks in the Southeastern Conference last season, and he entered this year as the league's leading returner in passing efficiency.
So far, the senior's encore has yet to live up to the lofty expectations he set a year ago in his first season as the starter for the Razorbacks (1-1).
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — When Arkansas coach Bret Bielema made the decision to switch to a 3-4 defense following last season, he did so with the idea of getting his best athletes on the field more often.
Bielema also did so with the hope of slowing someone exactly like TCU quarterback Kenny Hill, who the Razorbacks (1-0) will face for a third time when they host the No. 23 Horned Frogs (1-0) on Saturday.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas coach Bret Bielema hasn't spent the offseason all that concerned about any lasting effects from the disappointment of last season.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Believe it or not, Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen is the Southeastern Conference's leading returner in passing efficiency from a season ago.
It all added up to being picked as the preseason third-team All-SEC quarterback — behind Alabama's Jalen Hurts and Mississippi State's Nick Fitzgerald.
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri coach Barry Odom got a much-needed gift on the eve of his 40th birthday.
Drew Lock completed 16 of 26 passes for 268 yards and a touchdown, and Missouri scored 21 unanswered second-half points in a 28-24 victory over Arkansas 28-24 on Friday.
Missouri (4-8, 2-6 Southeastern Conference) has faced a number of off-field issues in recent weeks, including the arrest and suspension of leading rusher Damarea Crockett, and the firing of defensive line coach Jackie Shipp.
STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi State's defense was supposed to be one of the team's strengths this season.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Austin Allen insists he's "fine" physically. Arkansas coach Bret Bielema says the same about his quarterback.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — It's not like Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen is boring or above showing emotion on the football field.
Far from it, as evidenced by his self-described first two years of "having fun" in college and occasional outbursts following disappointing play this season.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen wasn't even watching Hunter Henry's heave that led to a fourth-and-25 conversion — and eventual win — against Mississippi a year ago.
Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema saw the desperate lateral, which eventually led to the 53-52 overtime win over the Rebels , but he'd prefer something less dramatic this time around.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Nick Saban flung his headset to the ground and stomped onto the field, angrily waving his arms in the air as soon as the final second ticked off the clock.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Austin Allen has never been a big believer in the Little Rock curse, especially after having won two state high school championships there.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas made a point a year ago to promote and publicize itself as the home of the largest offensive line in football, both in college and the NFL.
This season, a line in transition has left the No. 20 Razorbacks (3-1, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) focused more on performance than girth through three games.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Like many others in Arkansas, Dan Enos has liked what he's seen from quarterback Austin Allen over the first three weeks of the season.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — With a taste of early season success for a change, Arkansas coach Bret Bielema wasn't about to let the No. 24 Razorbacks get complacent after a double-overtime win over TCU last week.
Especially considering Arkansas' two victories entering this weekend had come by a total of four points.
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Arkansas appeared on its way to a big early season victory over No. 15 TCU following a pedestrian debut and a year after a stunning Week 2 loss to Toledo.
Then the Razorbacks looked like they had let the victory get away. And finally, they walked off with their fifth win over a ranked opponent as an unranked team since 2014.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Trailing midway through the fourth quarter, Arkansas coach Bret Bielema wasn't all that concerned about style points or margin of victory.
Not with another shocking loss like less than a year ago to Toledo still fresh on his mind.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Austin Allen earned Arkansas coach Bret Bielema's approval when he was named the starting quarterback during the spring.
The Razorbacks junior has done nothing but confirm his coach's faith throughout a stellar preseason, and he'll have his first chance to earn that same level of trust from fans when Arkansas hosts Louisiana Tech to open the season on Saturday.
