Can you tell the difference between a Racehorse and a WildHog ?

In most circumstances, that's a question for a 2-yearold, but with the addition of a new formation to Arkansas' offense, it's become a question for Razorback fans, too.

Hog fans became accustomed to Darren McFadden lining up at quarterback last season, but just because the All-American runner is at quarterback this year doesn't mean the Razorbacks are in the WildHog formation.

The Razorbacks, who moved up to No. 16 in both the Associated Press and ESPN / USA Today polls, debuted a new formation in their 46-26 victory over Troy It's an offense the Razorbacks are planning to run the option out of this season. However, the Hogs'execution of the option left something to be desired against Troy. There was a fumble of one handoff and a bobble of another which McFadden caught in the air. The miscommunication on the handoffs stems from an additional responsibility asked of McFadden in reading the option.

In the WildHog, the playcall designates whether McFadden hands off, keeps or passes the ball. In the Racehorse, McFadden is actually reading the defense and deciding whether to leave the ball with Jones or Peyton Hillis or to keep it.
