Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson Calls the Hogs with students camping out prior to the Arkansas-Auburn game.

Planning to watch the Arkansas centered-episode of ESPN’s “Depth Chart” series next week? It airs at 6 p.m. on Oct. 26, but you can get an early glimpse thanks to a pair of clips circulating online.

Arkansas is one of four schools chosen for the special, which focuses on quarterback play. It’s the only program that was filmed during a game week as opposed to training camp. ESPN was at Wisconsin, Auburn and Oklahoma State during camp.

This clip shows the scrutiny Tyler Wilson faces in practice. It includes an exchange between Wilson and offensive coordaintor Garrick McGee over a play called “Turbo Buffalo.” Wilson can't get the signal. He lobbies to change it. Guess who wins?

Brandon Mitchell and Garrick McGee talk about the team's expectations for being in the national title hunt. Mitchell talks about the importance of the Auburn game and winning the SEC West:

Here are Wilson and other players deliver pizza to students camping out the Thursday before Arkansas-Auburn. Wilson discusses the dedication of student fans. As a man of the people it's only fitting that Wilson is sporting a Flora-Bama Lounge t-shirt.

Wilson was of course expected to get screen time. Look for McGee also to play a big role in the special, a departure from the other three where the head coach got extensive play.

I’ll have more on how the project unfolded and what the exposure means to the Arkansas program next week in my Tuesday column.
