All you need is a QB your OL was one of the worst in the league. We return our interior wit Patterson, Conyers and Taylor. Then there is Rawlings who started 7 games at tackle. States OL ranked near the bottom of the SEC in rushing yards plus sacks allowed and you lose 2 starters. Out of 5 secondary spots we replace 2 and have CJ Hampton who started around 7 games last year. Basketball your recuriting well but win something before you bring that up. Baseball I would say our program is anything but stagnant. It's early but is looking great.

Agreed, anything 25-35 at this point seems reasonable


Sucks for Arkansas to lose all that offensive experience. I honestly believe Arkansas could have been a pre-season contender for the SEC-W this year. They might still vie for it, but it's hard to tell how they'll handle things on the offensive side until we see them in the fall (I try not to put too much faith into the spring games.)

The biggest thing the offensive side has going for it right now is Enos. Offense was so efficient after he had a few games to adjust. If Arkansas has a great season, I believe the Defense will have the most to do with that.

Is a he really a system coordinator?

In any event, I agree with your last sentence. Given that Bielema has obviously paid close attention to the Saban model, there's no reason the defense couldn't carry the team to great success even if the offense takes time to settle in.

Isn't this the same magazine that predicted Auburn to win the SEC last year?

Depends on what you mean by that. He calls the plays, Bert gives him a lot of control.

Arkansas comes down to new starting QB play and replacements on OLine. If those come about well, we'll do better than 29th.

I just mean that rockiee's reply sounded like he was calling Enos a plug-n-play coach, like Herman or Leach. It's a great way to compensate for talent deficiencies, but I didn't get the impression Enos took that approach.

Plus pass rush and the play of the linebackers in space/coverage.

Didn't try to come off that way, no I don't think he is a system coach in anyway. He just runs a great balanced offensive approach. I think he has done a great job with the QBs so far as well.

You also predicted we'd go 5-7 at best last year.

talent deficiencies



He had one of the better QBs in the league, a very talented backfield, the best TE corps in the nation, and a WR unit that developed nicely as the year went on, and a very good Oline.

Correct. We have a habit of handing them games. Very frustrating.
