| FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Arkansas football coach Houston Nutt said Casey Dick, a freshman quarterback who's seen no action in Razorback games this year because he's been redshirted, will start for Arkansas against South Carolina. Nutt said Monday that the redshirt is coming off because Dick has impressed his coaches with his passing in practices and has shown the skills to move the offense. Robert Johnson started the first seven games for Arkansas this season. Nutt said he would take the blame for Johnson's struggles as signal-caller as the Razorbacks went 0-4 in the first half of their Southeastern Conference season, 2-5 overall. As a senior at Allen High School in Texas, Dick completed 133 of 248 passes for 14 touchdowns. He also rushed for 401 yards and eight touchdowns in his final high school year. Nutt said Dick has thrown against the Arkansas defense all season in practice and has done very well. According to Nutt, Dick has a strong arm and good instincts. The Arkansas coach said the new starter seems to have a knack for making some plays and he's going to get an opportunity to do that.
