Studs Cont.
Andrew Armstrong
Armstrong is the Razorbackers' Hog of the Week. He wasn't just the best wide receiver on the field; he was the entire offensive passing game. Quarterback Taylen Green and Armstrong have a great connection that's allowed the former FCS transfer to produce consecutive lights-out performances.
He torched UAB on eight catches for 137 yards. Armstrong still hasn't gotten in the endzone, but he stepped up when the other receivers failed to make a single reception until the second half.
Stephen Dix Jr.
The redshirt senior played a great game on Saturday. Dix and senior defensive back Jayden Johnson led the team with ten tackles a piece, with Dix producing five solo tackles.
Before his performance against UAB, the Marshall transfer made only four tackles in the first two games. He stepped up in a game where nearly everyone on the defense looked mentally drained, making play after play. If Dix can repeat that effort every week, the linebackers will have a great three-player rotation with him, Xavian Sorey, and Brad Spence.
