I sure do hope we can add some real men to the defense for next year. We knew they were going to do exactly what they did and we could not stop them. Pitiful. Thank goodness for the offense!
The cream is rising to the top. You can see the talent maturing before your eyes. This team will be TOUGH next year.
Best QB and group of receivers we have ever had. They have matured so much this year. I wish they could have started the year this way.
T-Towner, you are certainly right about needing some D recruits. I can’t help but think that CBP realizes is all too well and has a plan. My personal feeling is that if he could just get a a defense that ranked in the middle of the pack in the SEC, and kept the same caliber offense coming in (which it appears he is doing), we would be in good shape. It still baffles me to no end that we can have such a great red zone defense, but get us out of the red zone, and we are horrible. MS State stomped all over us on the ground. It hurt to watch. Thankfully, we have an awesome offense. It feels strange being a Razorback fan and seeing this type of offense in action (at least wearing an Ark jersey). I love it. Does anyone besides me think we need to look at a contract extension for BP?
Awesome win Hogs! We now have a chance to beat my preseason expectation of 7-5. Well…we already have since I didn’t pencil in such good games against Georgia and Florida.
Next week is a big one. If the cards fall just right we could be tied for 3rd in the conference…and just wrong and we could be tied for 2nd to last. I’d be interested in seeing a blog of all the different possibilities and bowl projections from the bloggers!
Why is Auburn still rated ahead of AR in all of the stupid polls and power rankings? I find it interesting that Auburn LOST to GA and yet, are still ranked ahead of the Hogs. Can someone please ‘plain????
ARKYGAL,
There is no explination. Arkansas didn’t recieve any votes at all from the media for the AP poll, while both Kentucky and Auburn recieved 2 votes apiece.
The Hogs recieved 17 votes in the coaches poll. Go figure.
