Maybe. Maybe not.
Mallet wasn't a world beater. Cam was.
Remember when Mallett hit Cobi Hamilton at midfield before the half against LSU? Mallett was great at throwing long ropes, but Wilson couldn't throw them. Mallett was great in our offense and a bigger threat than most realized, imo. Without the interceptions, that would have been a different game. Arkansas might not have won, it would've been closer.
Another reason the 2010 team was better was because Greg Childs wasn't hurt. IIRC, Childs was leading the SEC in receiving yards and he was never the same after his injury against Vandy.

I almost forgot a bout Childs. I think he was still playing hurt in 2011. He got healthier for the combine then had a career ending injury in spring ball.
We had no chance without Mallet and anyone are fooling themselves thinking that Wilson was an upgrade.
The chances of winning that game is very good if Mallet doesn't get hurt. That is the most explosive offense I have ever seen. They are extremely hard to keep up when everyone is healthy.

Childs was far and away the best receiving talent in the SEC that year and best in Arkansas history. The stories on him were incredible.
He basically ate McDonalds breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
He was so physically gifted that one time him and Jake Bequette had a competition doing free weight inclines of 145lbs on each side during a workout. Jake got 1 more than he did.
He also wasn't exactly the smartest, but he was so good that Petrino told the QBs to adjust the play calls to say what he did at the end. So the calls sounds something along the lines of:
Double right X left cross power... block
Split wide y left juke B left... slant
