FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Junior Robert Johnson is Arkansas' starting quarterback for the Sept. 2 opener against Southern California, Arkansas coach Houston Nutt said Wednesday night.

Johnson started the Razorbacks' first seven games last year, but was displaced the last four games by current sophomore Casey Dick.

Dick is still out with a back injury dating to last spring and won't be ready Sept. 2, Nutt said. Johnson wields an obvious experience edge over true freshman Mitch Mustain.

"We feel good at this time naming Robert Johnson our starting quarterback," Nutt said. "Robert has improved, and we know Casey Dick won't be ready. Mitch Mustain has done a lot of good things for a freshman but Robert Johnson is older and much better than he was a year ago."

Nutt says Dick's back sore not damaged

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) -- Arkansas football coach Houston Nutt says he got some good news Friday about quarterback Casey Dick -- his back may be sore, but it's not damaged.

Casey underwent an MRI examination Friday morning, Nutt said.
"The MRI came back negative, which is very positive," Nutt said. "He is going to take two or three days off. The doctors want him to rest and do some core exercises. Hopefully Monday we can get him back on the field, and get him going."

The Razorbacks completed their first day of two-a-day practices Friday evening with an hour-and-40-minute workout in full pads.

The Razorbacks plan to stage a 60-play scrimmage in Razorback Stadium on Saturday, beginning at 6:40 p.m. The scrimmage is open to the public and free of charge.

The first-team offense is slated to take about 30 snaps in the scrimmage, with Robert Johnson and Mitch Mustain splitting the time with the first team.
