For Jerell Norton, Saturday’s pressure is Omar Haugabook present, not Chris Houston past.
In Saturday’s Arkansas-Troy University season opener at Reynolds Razorback Stadium, sophomore Norton of Cedar City, Texas debuts as the Razorback starting cornerback replacing Houston, the All-SEC corner gone a year early to the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons.
“ To be honest, there is no pressure, ” Norton said of replacing Houston. “ Coach [Bobby ] Allen taught us all the same. Chris took full advantage of his opportunities on and off the field. Great attitude.
Norton must get it done against Omar Haugabook, the senior Troy quarterback and 2006 Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year.
