Regarding Brandon Allen’s truck getting torched – I’m told the truck alarm going off woke him up and he went outside and saw it on fire… — Bo Mattingly (@SportsTalkwBo) August 25, 2014
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that Allen’s car has been vandalized. After the Mississippi State loss in November 2013, Allen’s car was egged. In addition to Allen’s car, Bo Mattingly is also reporting that other cars in the same neighborhood were damaged last night.
Allen’s vehicle was not the only one allegedly set on fire last night. Police are investigating. Not an ideal way to start game week. — Bo Mattingly (@SportsTalkwBo) August 25, 2014
Regardless of whether Allen truck fire is random or targeted, he has now been the victim of burglary, truck egged & truck torched as Ark QB.

No criminal activity has been confirmed at this time, but one thing is for sure – this is not the best way to kick off the opening game week for the Razorbacks.
*Update: The photo originally posted in this article was not Brandon Allen’s truck, which was confirmed by local authorities. This has been revised.
