Capps, Jackson battling for nose guard job

Arkansas' new-look 3-4 defense has a lot of storylines, but one of the most overlooked is the competition between Austin Capps and Bijhon Jackson at nose tackle.

So far, Jackson hasn't had the type of career that his former four-star ranking suggested he'd have, but he does have plenty of in-game experience and is looking to go out on a high note in his final season.

Capps got plenty of experience as a true freshman last year and ran with the first group ahead of Jackson in last Saturday's scrimmage. Both nose tackles had bright moments on Saturday, and chances are we'll have to wait until at least August before a starter is named.
