    I haven't completely given up on Briles yet but he wasn't great with Florida State talent either. I will say last year I thought he did a good job with Franks and we finished 8th in the SEC in total offense, so middle of the pack isn't bad at all considering where we were before. There's just so much inconsistency, we'll look unstoppable one drive then look like we've never played football before at times. And the cutesy trick plays and misdirection get a bit much. We tried a QB sneak on essentially 4th and 3 against Rice...just not sure what he thinks sometimes. But he does have his moments of creativity where he looks like a genius. Either way some think this may be his last year here, he hasn't stayed anywhere very long and could end up back in Texas somewhere. I liked the hire but I'll admit it did seem like an odd mesh of styles with Pittman.

    Smith was damn good against Auburn and Florida last year, but literally every back beyond him on the depth chart is unproven and/or young. The backup does have more potential from a size/speed perspective though. I’m curious to see how they divide up the carries on Saturday.

    Pretty fair assessment. IIRC it was CB LaDarrius Bishop who gave up the long TD pass though, at least he was the one trailing the WR by about 15 yards. We really need to find a better 2nd corner - DB Myles Slusher may get some PT there this weekend after being held out with a minor injury last Saturday. I thought the RBs did fine, averaged nearly 6 YPC but maybe it was on the OL I haven't analyzed it that much. The drops really hurt and we could have had 1-2 more TDs if we didn't have crucial drops that killed drives...also might have gotten KJ's completion percentage above 70% despite a poor game passing the ball from him. Treylon Burks dropping 2-3 passes is very uncharacteristic of him.

    Well it’s not like you don’t have recent bad losses like Kansas either lol. Truth is both of our programs shouldn’t be as bad as they have been lately.

    Could have at least picked a team we didn’t beat or finish ahead of last year lol Eh, part of it is because this is the first year since then we have somewhat of a hope for a bowl game. No one was going to show up to watch a Chad Morris team no matter the opponent.

    There are so many more transplants in northwest Arkansas now than there were back then I don’t think it’ll be that bad like it was in the old days. Half the student body has Texas plates.

    Trelon Smith is a very good RB but he’s tiny and probably can’t handle a huge workload consistently. The #1 CB Montaric Brown is one of the better corners in the SEC but #2 CB is a weakness. DL has some depth and will rotate a lot of guys but no one really stands out as that guy you need to double team. Ketron Jackson is going to be a really good player at WR eventually but as a freshman it will probably be later in the season before it starts to show. Same thing for a couple of talented 4* freshman RBs, AJ Green and Rocket Sanders, not sure they’ll play much Saturday but should eat into Smith’s carries if they progress like we expect.

    The boos were actually because we decided to run the clock out with 45 seconds left before the half instead of trying to score. Fans got spoiled of Petrino going for the throat any chance he got and don’t like being so conservative. We could have at least tried to get into FG range but a lot of coaches do the same thing I guess.

    Pool played with broken ribs all last season but yeah for every good play he makes he also misses a ton of tackles.

    Most of that half is from Texas though. The Arkansas game atmosphere has been terrible since about 2016 since we’ve sucked so bad but when it’s packed it can get really loud. Jalen Hurts and Greg McElroy both said it was the loudest stadium they played in. Took me a long time to get over that Matt Jones fumble late in the 4th.

    DVH is Arkansas through and through, having played in the SWC I’m sure he feels a certain way about Texas. But then again Muschamp coached at Florida as a Georgia grad which is weird to me too. He actually just got a statue named after him outside our new baseball performance center - “The Van Horn Hog”

    Him on defense and Treylon Burks on offense are the ones to watch. Burks had a shitty game against Rice but Mel Kiper has him as the #12 overall player in next year’s draft.

    Going through the worst decade in our history after finishing #5 in the country and subsequently firing the coach after a motorcycle ride has humbled us all haha. We’re more apathetic about football right now than ever while season ticket sales to basketball and baseball are breaking records. Never would have thought our football program would reach Vandy levels in my lifetime but after the Morris era it’s hard to be optimistic.

    Grant Morgan is probably the best LB, he was an all-American last year. He also got ejected Saturday but in the first half and missed basically the entire game.

    OL was horrible at pass blocking last year and not much better against Rice, but Jefferson was able to make plays a lot with his legs (and just being 250 lbs to break out of sacks) to negate it a bit. They were pretty solid at run blocking though. I was pleased with how the DL played, held Rice to 2 YPC and even though there weren’t any sacks there were several pressures that led to interceptions. We started two transfers on the DL and our NT was out who should be back. So it’s still too early to tell honestly. Our pass rush was awful last year and we played a 3-2-6 a lot which we couldn’t do against Rice due to their style of offense being more smashmouth. Card is 100x better than the Rice QB but also still pretty young so I could see Odom trying some different coverages but the main priority has to be selling out to stop Robinson so we may run the 4-man front the majority of the time again.

    I’m not sure you can definitively say ULL is better. Sure they went 10-1 and had a great win over Iowa State but also won most Sun Belt games by 7-10 points including 2 points over Georgia Southern and OT against Georgia State. Arkansas wasn’t a great SEC team last year but still won 3 SEC games, probably would have fared much better in most of those games than ULL did against their schedule. That said it won’t matter if Arkansas shoots itself in the foot with drops and penalties again like that dreadful first half against Rice. Lots of P5 teams seemed to struggle yesterday, not sure if it was just being vanilla or what.

    It was a weird game. First half I was thinking we’d be lucky to win a game all season but then we ended up covering the spread. Treylon Burks had the worst game I’ve seen him play with several drops. Depends which team shows up next week I guess. First half team then Texas wins by 50 but if the second half one does then it may be competitive.
  18. Gohogs14
    Traylor may be a P5 coach sooner than later IMO

    They both seem to be in the same boat of being better runners than passers. Briles needs to call more plays to use their legs, trying to make Jefferson sit in the pocket and throw didn’t work. Offense was putrid in the first half but 31 unanswered points eases things a bit I guess.

    Technically Mississippi State was the last place team in the West last season. But I get your point lol. Seems like both Mississippi schools are getting more preseason pub than Arkansas even though Arkansas beat both last year.

    Well we play Georgia Southern the week after so probably wouldn’t need him (knock on wood) but after that is Texas A&M. It’s a good question. Since he transferred from FCS we still don’t really know quite how good he is yet. With how much DL rotate I’d probably lean toward saving him until he’s 100% but that may change if we start getting gashed on the ground in every game.
  22. Gohogs14
    9/11 would be right at two weeks. It's definitely a faster recovery time than it used to be and a lot less invasive but you'd think it would be an easy target for OL to try to hit. Sounds like they expect him to give it a shot though.
  23. Gohogs14
    Arkansas week one depth chart FWIW, imagine it will be similar for the Texas game.

    Uncanny how much better QBs look away from Chad Morris

    I mean, if USC was doing that based on making the CWS when recruits were in diapers then it would be pretty cringe.
