South Carolina Preview: By The Numbers

The Hogs’ offense will be severely tested on Saturday against Ellis Johnson’s Gamecock defense. Bobby Petrino matching wits with his first choice for defensive coordinator should be quite a show. I expect the game to be a defensive struggle. Their defense is great…ours is improving rapidly.
So Grow Up Already

Houston Dale Nutt returned to Razorback Stadium last Saturday night to coach the team he didn’t recruit…to a win over the team he did recruit.
Ultimately, Arkansas couldn’t cope with the strength of the Ole Miss offensive and defensive lines. Freed from the shackles of keeping Frank Broyles happy with his play-calling — and blessed with a quarterback he didn’t have to ‘coach up’ — we saw a lot richer offense from Houston Dale. Tyrone Nix also brought a nice defensive game plan and his players executed it well. Hats off to Ole Miss.

While we really shouldn’t have expected to beat either Alabama or Texas…should we have expected to be annihilated?
It’s obvious that the poor recruiting of defensive players during the Reggie Herring regime was even worse than we thought at the time. It just appears that there is no one who can play.
But that can’t be the whole story. Wasn’t the defensive line supposed to be a strength?

If someone had wanted to bet you that the Razorbacks would post 300+ yards passing in their first two games, would you have taken that bet?

By noon on Sunday, it became clear what stood out to me about Bobby Petrino’s first Razorback win: we have some lousy sportswriters covering the team. I think the local media should follow the example being set by Jeff Long and upgrade a few positions.
