Starters Uncertain for Aggies in Southwest Conference clash
Arkansas coach Frank Broyles said he did not know who would start at quarterback for the Razorbacks against Texas A M in Fayetteville. Bill Montgomery would start if ribs heal, John Eichler would replace him if unable. Middle linebacker Cliff Powell is questionable after a hyper extended elbow but practiced. Tim Webster is out for the season with a knee injury. Bill Clark to handle kickoffs.
