He’s got some big shoes to fill, but from all indications Austin Allen is ready to step out from the shadows of his older brother. Arkansas QB Brandon Allen will be passing the torch to his younger brother after one last game with the Razorbacks.

The senior will lead the Hogs in the 57th AutoZone Liberty Bowl against Kansas State on Jan.2 in Memphis. It will be his 42nd and final game. Through the years, Allen has compiled some very impressive stats and he’s at or near the top in nearly every quarterback category at Arkansas.

The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder is Arkansas’ career touchdown pass leader with 63. He needs three more in the bowl game to tie the school record (32) for most touchdown passes in a single season.

His seven touchdown passes against Mississippi State this season is a school record for one game. He also ranks second with six scoring strikes thrown earlier this season against Ole Miss. Also in that game, Allen threw for 442 yards, second-most in a single game in Arkansas history, and also set the school record for completions in a game with 33.

Allen ranks fourth all-time at Arkansas with 7,148 passing yards. He is 274 yards behind third-place Clint Stoerner and 345 yards behind second-place Ryan Mallett. Tyler Wilson (7,765) holds Arkansas’ all-time passing record.

His name filters through the Hogs’ record books. His 53 pass attempts against Toledo early this season ranks second-most for a single game. He would tie the all-time record (1,023) for pass attempts in a career with 33 more throws against Kansas State in the upcoming bowl game. Allen is also 30 completions away from tying the all-time record (593).

He enters the bowl game with 3,125 passing yards, which ranks fifth all-time at Arkansas for a single season. His completion percentage (.651) is second-best all-time for a single season.

And yet, after the Hogs stumbled out of the starting gate in 2015, losing three in a row and four of five, fans began calling for the younger brother to get his shot. A 6–foot-1, 210-pound sophomore, Austin Allen hasn’t had much of an opportunity to show what he can do under center. But most project the younger Allen brother to be the starter in 2016.

Over two seasons, Allen has only appeared in six games and has only thrown 19 passes. He’s completed nine of those for 188 yards and a touchdown. He has also thrown one interception.

Those stats include just two games played this season and only three pass attempts.

However, Allen is an accomplished quarterback. In his senior year of high school, Allen was named the 2012 Gatorade Player of the Year as he led Fayetteville High School to a second consecutive 7A state championship. Allen was named MVP in both of those title games.

He was ranked among the top 20 quarterbacks nationally coming out of high school and No. 3 in the state, according to both 247Sports and Rivals. In his senior season, Allen threw for 3,593 yards and 29 touchdowns. That was actually down from his junior year numbers of 4,150 yards and 46 touchdowns.

So the Hogs appear to still be in good shape when older brother steps aside and younger brother steps up.
