2-10
I agree 7-5. Anyone who guesses 2-10 is not connected to reality.
Now see, i believe the exact opposite. Anyone who thinks 7-5 is living in la la land. I would guess it will be closer to a 4 win season but if we were playing the price is right, i win.

Okay Eeyore.
Eeyore was one suicidal donkey.
Actually most everyone in the Hundred Acre Wood had some kind of mental illness.
Best case scenario 7-5
Worst case scenario 5-7
I'm picking the middle. 6-6 in Coach B's 2nd year
Go back to last year and with one key play in several losses we would have been 6-6. Look at Auburn who played for the national championship. One key play the other way in several of their losses and they finish 6-6. I like to think we picked the right coach and he will improve in year two. 6-6 or 7-5 are very plausible and 2-10 is not. If anyone thinks 2-10 they need to be rooting for the Arkansas States of the world.
I root for every college in arkansas
Good. You don't seem like much of a fan of the Razorbacks. Glad you have a team to call your own.

Well, unless one puts someone on ignore, it's kind of hard to miss them in a thread. You know, every once in a while you post something intelligent.
How about stop being offended by cuckoobirds prediction and post something intelligent of your own. Who you got? Nicholls St, BAM (whomever that is), Northern Illinois, Ole Miss, A&M?
Personally I don't think winning 5 is a big hurdle.

You might try reading comprehension, I never said I was offended my cucks prediction. I've also said I thought we'd go 6-6 this year, assuming no QB injuries.
To be honest predicting this year is harder than last year! Last season once I saw that non-conference game in WM I pretty much knew it was going to be LONG season. For 2014....I guess I need to see them in person again. Unless what was there has gotten a LOT better it could be another long season. I think we will have more wins but man that roster needed some major overhauling. One recruiting class ain't gonna fix it! The 2015 recruiting class is crucial we have to pull out all stops. I don't believe BB is going to win big in the SEC because he can outcoach his opponents. Got to upgrade the talent then we can see how well he can coach. The gap is too wide now for us to truly know if he can compete.
Call me crazy but I say 7-5
With wins over
Nicholls State
@Texas Tech
Northern Illinois
Texas A&M
UAB
@ Mississippi State
Ole Miss
We May have a chance at upsetting LSU and Mizzou! MAYBE and it's a HUGE MAYBE but Maybe Auburn if Marshall is suspended!

What's this got to do with Hog Football? Unless it's the years of non intelligent talking? Did you make a prediction Big Fan or are you just following me around?
Last season I correctly predicted among friends and family that the Hogs would only win 3 games and that if a miracle happened maybe beat Rutgers. Well they only won 3. This season they will again only win 3 games unless a miracle happens and they beat Ole Miss. That's that. Meanwile, the Red Wolf nation will agian go bowling. Howl Yes!
Nicholls St, BAM, Northern Illinois, Tex Tech, Ole Miss, A&M, Miss State, maybe an upset over someone else - two great running backs, SEC is down, even more in defense. Hogs are being underestimated.
5 or 6 wins......
Simply wont happen, There are too many linebackers and defensive ends in the SEC that are as fast or faster than the Hogs RB's. The only way to win over 500 in the SEC is to spread the field out, make DB's come up making tackles, and forcing LB's into coverage. You cant line up and run over these guys in the SEC. Maybe the Sunbelt, but not here. I stick to my guns, another 3 win season starting with a royal butt whipping by Auburn. 4 if we can beat Ole Miss.
However, if the powers that be leave Bret alone up there, and he can get the type of player for a power offense, they may be able to break the 500 barrier in a couple years. But not until then. That said, in the SEC, its more about Defense than offense anyway. You have got to stop your opponent, plain and simple. Something the Hogs have failed at for a decade now.

Good points - that's why I think Malzahn would've been the right type of fit for the Hog's. Still I'm guessing there are 5-6 teams on that list who will struggle to stop the Hog's, year older, running game.
The over/under for the Hogs has been set at 4.5 wins.
4-8 (1-7). Possibly 5 wins if the hogs can stop Tech's passing attack, but highly unlikely. Either A&M or MIZZOU will be in the only SEC win.
This is the same coach that could not surpass john l smiths 4-8 high bar...2 wins...maybe 3. You can not just load up with running backs and hope for 3 yards. And the best QB is gonna be on the bench because BB has this seniority complex about players...hogs are In BIG trouble

Well I think both of those coaches ego or personality makeup had something to do with their demise here. Both had personal ambitions that they believed were bigger than the UA. Gus thought he was ready to be HC and Bobby thought he mess around with girl half his age and not get caught and stop recruiting. Sure we sent them packing but it was THEIR choices that got them!
Would you guys listen to yourselves...you are all in denial. If u think for one minute that just because a coach is screwing around that he needs to be fired then you really need a reality check. You do know that stuff like this is happening all over the....well, world. You think that bobby was the first coach to mess around at the u of a? And the whole give him another year thing worked out well Houston didn't it? Let's just hope we can get to 3 wins this year...if we do them I'll retract and say I was wrong but I have a feeling I'm not. And as far as your little comment about going across state...it was mostly work related but we chose GW over a lot of schools because my son is good and deserves a chance to play d1 football. Even though that has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation...it had to do with a poll and if anyone says anything other than the hogs go undefeated then that means you're an idiot and deserves to be exiled...
If they cheat in any way they don't need to be leading a college football team anywhere. Integrity needs to be valued more than wins. Saying Arkansas will only win 3 this year is ignorant.

Dude, how many times do you have to hear it on radio, TV or read it in the paper? The screwing around is not what did him in. He lied to his boss[that will get you fired] and he placed the UA in a dangerous legal situation by hiring his mistress [another firing offense]. What would you have done?
BTW,,, you will be retracting your words, if you are a man of your word......

Who said anything about going undefeated? Something else you've made up in your mind? The comment on moving across the state showed that people make choices that they perceive are the best for them/school/university. The decision makers made the choice that firing Petrino was best for the university, like your move, it was thought out and pro's and con's weighed.

A QB who's been in the fire now and a year older - could be one of your biggest surprises - was getting legit the last few games. A coach who has a year in the SEC now - year of his own recruiting. The team isn't going to be worse - they nearly beat an LSU team (who lost 9 NFL Draftees) at the end of the season. Now I'm hearing Hogs can only beat Nicholls, Birmingham, N Illinois? How about Tex Tech, A&M, Ole Miss, Missouri?

He only practiced on Wednesdays after his injury. He would shoot up and practice, but would be too sore to practice on Wed and Thursday. Now, before someone complains, Drs said there would be no more damage done, just what pain he could stand. I do wonder why they didn't push Austin harder to get ready, wasn't my decision.
I think Brandon will be better, hopefully the WRs help him out, and the o-line gives him time.

Wow! Well in the real world if you LIE to your employer and because you lied it left your employer in a very serious legal liability most times you get fired. Now I agree if it was just him messing around...that
could be forgiven. I know it's hindsight now but his last two recruiting classes alone were justification to get fired. The talent level on the team last year was not enough to compete for the Sunbelt title! Heck that's why it was so easy for BB's recruits to shine! The jury is still out on whether BB can get it done but no matter who you want coaching up there few talented players means few wins in the SEC and it's been that way for a long time!
In baseball terms Brandon Allen is known as a "5 o'clock hitter". All American practice player but when game time rolls around he couldn't start for any sun belt team.

Sadly enough, it is pretty much the typical NWA "blue chip".
With that said though, I hope he has a break out season and puts the doubters to rest.
Rice, why did you vote for 12-0??
Arkansas Coaches think he's the best QB on the hill. This is the part I don't like about Arkansas Fans - y'all eat your young. The kid plays his first couple non conference games of college ball - gets hurt - takes one game off - but even being hurt, there isn't anyone better, so he plays on. Injured or not - no one wants to have a great performance more than him. Where were the Senior, Junior, experienced QB's last year? Playing QB, for Arkansas, when the team is below average - is a no win situation.
And Bielema don't give a rats rear where any player comes from.

Hey, I am an allen fan. I think he can do it. However if he doesn't, he will be the typical NWA blue chip athlete bust. That's all I am saying. However the wife can't stand him...says his position is result of nepotism at it's finest. haha.
You forget V, I am one of those realistic fans! No way the hogs win more than they did last year or under smiley boy.
I'm neither a fan nor know much about Allen, but I know college coaches are going to put the players on the field who can best help them win. Might help if SE Arkansas would send some Linemen, who could keep SEC defenses, from flowing through like water.
I am a fan of Hogs having at least a .500 season - life is a lot funner, in Arkansas.

We have o-linemen, it's our deepest position, unfortunately still young. We've got some NWA older guys that haven't panned out as thought, having said that, they had some major offers in high school.

Very true. It appears that Cook may be about to show out though. The other springdale kid and Bentonville kid haven't.
Guys, I chime in one last time on the 2014 Hogs. I am absolutely a 100% fan of any young man that was able to find themself hooked up with any D1 college. But this season is going to be a very tough season for the Hogs, and it starts on the very first game. I wish em well, but they are going to get mercy ruled. Auburn will pick them to pieces, and dont think for one minute Gus calls off the dogs either. A bad taste is a bad taste that is hard to rinse out of your mouth. The good news is, UofA can only get better, right? Haven't said it in a very long time, but Go Hogs, Never flinch, Never quit, Never give up.
Theres only one thing I disagree with. Ncaa footbalk doesnt have the sissy mercy rule
Ricepig - y'all got 4* players to spare now? He could probably be the starting LB for A&M - who lost a starting LB to injury this week, in addition to the 3 returning defensive starters kicked off the team.

Well, he was working his way to 3rd string, but I hate that he is leaving, we need the depth. One injury and he starts or plays a lot, but kids want to play, so they transfer.

OH my... RP you are stepping out there aint ya. Just an avg. year for the Hogs.
I tend to agree with you but I am having a hard time picking out the SEC wins. I have never had any love for the Miss. schools and usually the Hogs are better than them so I will pick one of them as a win. Missouri could be one and maybe Georgia. If the LSU game was in the Rock -- I would of picked the Hogs to win that one.
Lowly Big 12 Tech game will answer a lot of questions.

I have never had any love for the Miss. schools and usually the Hogs are better than them so I will pick one of them as a win. Missouri could be one and maybe Georgia. If the LSU game was in the Rock -- I would of picked the Hogs to win that one.
Lowly Big 12 Tech game will answer a lot of questions.
Well, it's almost time to see how it plays out. I'm sure I'll figure out a way to win them all come game week, although some will take some creative thinking.
Hard to believe Arkansas vs Auburn and A&M vs S Carolina, before preseason even starts. Totally defeats the purpose of preseason. Quality of game will be preseason caliber as well.
You don't think it will be a couple of well-oiled machines executing all phases of the game in championship form? I think Auburn is probably gonna run-rule the Piggies. The "45 after 3" rule. Game will be stopped after third quarter with the War Tiger Eagles or whatever they are up 52-7.
Well I don't know - the Spread / No-Huddle Offense usually struggles in the preseason, takes a while to get it all worked out. Gus likes the multiple option plays. Bielema's running game is pretty straight forward. Hogs got some good defensive ends this year?
Couple. But it don't matter. They'll be trapped and sealed and cut and chewed on by the Tigers O-line. Probably clawed some by those War Eagle muthas. If they don't have to pass we cain't sack 'em. I don't think they are gonna have to pass.

You giving 45 points? Because I'll take all you can beg, borrow, or steal.
LOL I wish I could find someone like me willing to place a bet with that kind of spread. Too bad they ain't out there, including me.

Honestly Suzuki may be ok at 50 but I understand him not betting
lol 30 is pretty courageous, the final last year was 35-17 and Arkansas will be much improved over that team. Marshall didn't even play, Williams and Collins combined for 196 yards on 33 carries. Course that was in Razorback Stadium, so there was alittle home-field support for the Tusks.
We generally play well down there, I'm in no way guaranteeing a victory, but I feel confident in the 30pts I getting.

That is ridiculous. It's already hard enough to get kids to go up there and this is how they treat the ones that are there. I hope BA goes 80+ percent on passes, no picks, and 4+ tds to show these "fans". Heck, it will be lucky if he even stays in Arkansas!
Unbelievable. I'm just speechless. Just to let you know, recruits are already talking notice. From CJ O Grady's twitter: "I don't know if I want to go to Arkansas anymore..."
I would be shocked if this incident (IF TRUE) had anything to do with football. I mean there is no QB controversy because all of the QB's on the roster are very suspect! My gut tells me this was something personal directed toward BA or his family. Worst thing that could happen to the program would be if some crazy fan did this!

Don't all fall camps go good?? You know, we're getting better, loved the effort, kids are grinding through two a days, etc..... As far as what to expect, hopefully a healthy QB, and and a better defense.

Nice to see the Hogs on the ESPN bottom line for getting a recruit.
And it being a recruit the caliber we got.
Heard Bolding say that some of the coaches that were recruiting him said that he is the best receiver they have ever seen coming out of high school! Huge + for the U of A.
We needed KJ in a big way.

Watched KJ in the underarmour 7 on 7 and I was impressed

Typical Arkansas defense, slow and out of position...BA throws behind the WR...imagine that...
Gus schooling CBB...
O=line looks good...
CBB schooling Gus. Up the middle fake. No pass coverage.
lol...Aubie bites big on the run...lol...even BA can hit a receiver that wide open...

No doubt. If we run like we did on that drive it could happen. Hopefully we will play defense at some point.

Inept secondary. Crap!
Will it ever change...
These announcers fail to realize this is against our defense. They are ready to crown all of their players the best there ever was.
Secondary and receivers need to step up. Field goal attempt?
Ok all we have to do now is score on every possession and maybe get two turnovers.
This is pathetic...fire the DC now...hire anyone in the crowd and the result would be the same...
haha, I don't think it is the coordinator or the coach. I think they would need to change from giving out a ton of scholarships to QB's and give a few to secondary guys.
Hey did you see that look, fake pump, precision throw to 2 receiver?
Now over the back shoulder - Allen..
Allen looks great. That makes me happy.

They will have to respect that at some point and should help the run. Now if our defense would just wake up a little.
O good enough to win 8
D bad enough to lose every game besides Nicholls St and UAB
Still on it though
Has a team never punted and lost? It may take that today
A punt? A punt?
A flipping punt by Auburn?
Woohoo, we made them punt. Great job Ellis!
Auburn might have a handful, if Hog open up passing & running.
Can't put it on the ground!
Looks like a shoulder
AC!
The O=Line is bad...
Very balanced...I have to say that if BA keeps playing like this we will be okay offensively...
BA is the big surprise so far...
Hope Marshall is ok looked like a shoulder.
Wow! If we had any "D" at all this would not be a game...
Is this the QB y'all been bad mouthing since last season? Now Auburn is having to respect Arkansas - this is good!
Reminds me of the '99 U$C @ JC game.

You have to admit he wasn't much to hang your hat on last year...looks like a totally different person this game...
That OL is on the way to being very good. High school OL across the country have to be impressed with how we develop OL. If they keep up the rest of the season, I see us landing another 1-2 4* recruit on the OL. On the flip side we are crackhead desperate for play makers on the defensive side.
*Hoping for the best but that injury to Marshal doesn't look good!
Not a bad half. Last year down by 14 this game would have been over. D stepped up on a couple drives.
Keep going and clean up the 3rd down a little and we got a shot
I like the description they gave our OL. Those guys are just nasty.
fellas....i have to say that I'm very impressed with BA and the Hogs as a whole....defense needs to show up but otherwise...great 1st half. May have to eat my words....but we will see ;D
Just read were Marshal's injury is not as bad as originally thought. Might return the second half! The way he was holding his arm it looked serious.

Nice stop Winston.

Very good series defense. WPS!
Gotta score.
wrong team.
Auburn pick six
that could seal it
There is the Ole BA we know and love...just heave it in the middle of the field...
JUST TAKE THE SACK!
Curious offensive strategy in second half. Oh well.
ok...i still stand behind my 2 win season....lol

What's wrong with criticizing, have we become so thin skinned that we have to blow smoke up everybody's skirt? The Hogs were not supposed to win this game, but some of this stuff boils down to coaching. Period.

Need to get an attitude and go score here. This break might help

Best thing that could happen - rest up and come out fighting Hogs.
This game is not over. It may not look promising but I have seen stranger things happen. We need a quick score and then who knows.

Wonder if AUB will gain some more players during this break? They've gained two since last night.
Hogs have played pretty well and it was a tough assignment for a team off two bad years. There was enough shown today to be optimistic over the course of time.

Missed tackles have killed us. Seems like we were there but the runner slipped through our hands. The interception was unfortunate.
Wow, I hope all of your loved ones live a long life. What a punk.

Year two. Bigger. Faster. Playing as a team. Clean up some things and we are gonna be fine.
We have gotta have help on defense. I still say Marshall needs to be at safety and can keep running the ball time to time. Hope this delay helps the o-line make some adjustments. Different teams after the half.
believe it or not...I love the Hogs. I want them to win, which is why I LOVED Petrino...it was the first time since the 64' Hogs we had a legitimate chance at a national title...I bleed Razorback red, and I hate it when the powers that be decide that running the ball in a pass heavy league is a good thing to do. They don't know their arse from a hole in the ground. How many running coaches have we had? I know...ALL of them with the exception of Bobby. I will still give BB the benefit of the doubt because, well, we're playing Auburn and they are pretty good and WELL coached. I think we've played well and will have a decent season....just not as good if we had Bobby...and I like to kid around, ALOT. Just for kicks...that's all. I hope we go undefeated...but I'm a realist and know that's not gonna happen. Hope that helps clear up things about my posts that are so concerning to you....thanks

Direct yourself to the Louisville board. The pos bobby is gone and I'm happy. No one cares what he did AND didn't do at Arkansas. But what I can tell you he is still coaching and please turn your razorback red in for Louisville red if you wanna talk about him. Keep that crap out of here.
lol...yes sir
This long of a delay is very good for us...be like the 1st half when we had energy
I spoke too soon
Frick Auburn and their vacated win

Arkansas' future opponent, TX Tech, is up 21-16 over Central AR at the half. That game is on Fox Sports SW. El Dorado's Taylor Reed is UCA's QB.

Defense still is light years behind the offense. We need to get our secondary to wake up.
BA looked better. The line is great. So are the backs. We will see what happens. It's year two. Year two with a mediocre secondary.

Ricepig you win, they didnt cover the 30 points i gave you. But i think they could have if gus wanted to. Hes a real classy guy on and off the field when it comes to his home state team.

You make sure you tell everyone I'm smarter, have more football knowledge, and rule this board, at least over you, that was the bet, correct?
Basically, they have better talent and more of it. We desperately need back 7 talent and at WR. I said on Hogville, play the freshmen, get um some experience. B.A. isn't going to beat a team chunking it 30+ times a game, he'll be successful when the running games clicking.

Good for you, does it hurt much?
As desperate as we are for defensive playmakers, why aren't Marshall and Morgan playing on that side of the ball? I could swear they have both been talked about as guys who could have played either way (I was at the 2012 6A title game, and Morgan was more impressive on defense than offense there), and the secondary is a far bigger need that RB, and arguably bigger than receiver as well, at least if you lump the TEs into that group.
are you kidding....heck no, I love being right...now, if my 2 win prediction comes true I will be a football GOD!!!

We need more speed and athleticism in the secondary for sure. However, when Marshall was on defense I never heard anyone say he was a difference maker. Morgan is NOT an SEC caliber DB. IF we ever get the WR's we need for a legitimate deep threats (and QB) Morgan will make a solid slot WR.
I noticed the kid from PB Dollarway's Liddell did play. Great for the young man I think once he figures out what he's doing he could improve the the speed and athleticism of the secondary
I saw that. Good for him. Noticed Forrest City DE Tevin Beanum as well. I remember our guys being very impressed with him when they came to WH for the first round of the playoffs in '12, so I was happy to see him contributing as well.
The bet was bragging rights but with tonights outcome and our poor second half performance/preperation, neither of us should brag too much.
I give the most improved trophy so far to aTm. Vandy gets the most dissapointing. Alabama didnt look great but got the win. Right now i wouldnt call them the number 2 team in the nation.

Final stat line looked worse than the final score. Auburn could have scored another touchdown at the end, that would have made the two closer. A lot of arm tackling, dropped passes, lack of adjustments after the half, and the lightning delay.
Clock issue reminded me of about 20 similar events at SDale over the years.
Also, it seems our pressbox coaches got stuck in an elevator and never made it down at halftime....
Take the stairs!
Well let the excuses begin.
Did you note the rushing totals, and the passing totals of the two teams? Did you note that the Hogs only had 2 rushing yards in the entire second half? Running the football is the strength of this team right?

I agree with the what ifs and that wasnt the bet. You right about points spread. You should give gus a call a personally thank him for helping you win the bet by not scoring again. Lol

I am not terribly disappointed with the Hogs performance!! Coming from a coaches point of view I saw many positives and many improvements from last year! Offense is pretty dang good! Defense improved from last year but still needs some work! I am really excited for this team this year we can win 6 or 7 and possibly pull of a huge upset!! WOOOOOOOOO PIG SOOIIEE GO HOGS GO

Offense is not pretty dang good, only 2 rushing yards the entire second half, and that is supposed to be our strength. Defense can't tackle grandma, secondary can't cover grandma. I know you are just sucking up to the powers that be though.
You again fail. It's okay to be disappointed and properly spoken criticism can occur. It's the ones that only appear to cast the negativity that are not going to stick around.
They are easy to spot despite their attempts at disguise. They can either conform or get the non-exclusive retirement plan from FF.
We win and lose as a team but I think yesterday's lost was again more on our defense specifically our secondary. Unless we tackle better, and learn to protect the middle...it makes us have to go outscore people. That's not us at this point and I don't see us becoming a scoring machine this season. I didn't see that much improvement in our secondary over last season. Still don't understand why we can't tackle! If we could at least tackle well it could slow down or even stop a lot drives even if we get beat from time to time. I do believe it wont be long before the youngsters will see the field and give them a shot. It's frustrating how far we are behind in the secondary compared to other SEC teams. L Auburn isn't even a passing team!
Arkansas needs to stick with the red helmets the white doesn't look good on them.
I'd be taking the JUCO circuit more seriously if I were the Hogs. Auburn, Ohio State and Texas A&M are hitting pay dirt with juco.

We started a JUCO CB, LB, TE, and played a LG and WR.
Overall grade for yesterday's game...C+. Defensively, we still have the same problems as we've had in the past and it doesn't seem like it's going to get that much better. The defensive line didn't get much pressure on the QB and the secondary is what it is...and that's not good. Offensively, we have got to be able to make adjustments but when you're dependent on the ground game and the QB is basically unproven, what can you do? When teams figure out what you're doing on the ground, they find ways to stop that. Gus figured out that using a bull rush and bringing eat every play left them susceptible to draws and jet sweeps. He stopped the bull rushing, which made the O-line have to react differently. At that point, the line looked average aside from their size. Two yards on the ground in the second half when you rely on the ground game will not win anything...Allen played OK, but he was pretty much a game manager yesterday. In other words, play but don't lose the game. Teams realize and understand that if he doesn't release the ball in three seconds, he gets rattled and antsy. Delayed pressure and blitzes are his worst enemy...I still see 3-4 win season, but the team does look better in terms of resembling an SEC team and being prepared. After one game, it's way too early to tell if they are actually better than a year ago. Remember, Auburn was about 5-6 plays from being 8-4 instead of 11-1 during the regular season last year, so they are in no way world beaters. But they are a very good team offensively. The last thing we need is to get hopes way up, only to have them crashing down.

Hopefully, Auburn is the best offensive team we will face all year, another reason we should have hired Gus, but that's another subject. However, Auburn will not be the best defensive team we will face all year.
That's not negative, that's just where we are. CBB is and should be given the same chance that CMA is getting in basketball. After 4 years of their OWN players, they better produce, especially at what they are getting paid, and I don't mean adding even more cupcakes to the schedule. Both need to go to a meaningful postseason.
We play Texas Tech, TCU, and Michigan these next 6 years, I think along with the SECw we have a sufficiently tough enough schedule. If he can't produce in year 4 he'll be on a really short leash, or already gone.

Gong 0-8 in SEC this year would cause a bunch to be calling for his head this year. Personally I think we win one or two conference games. I saw improvement on offense, but still a long way from where we need to be due to depth. Defensively, man that back 7 is gonna be mediocre at best till we can get some high caliber recruits back there. We need some legit LBs and CBs in a bad way.
If Arkansas can play a full game the way they did in the first half Saturday, they will upset a few teams.

Defensively, man that back 7 is gonna be mediocre at best till we can get some high caliber recruits back there. We need some legit LBs and CBs in a bad way.
If Arkansas can play a full game the way they did in the first half Saturday, they will upset a few teams.
This is the type post I have read over and over and over and I just don't get it.........
Offenses have become scoring machines. A great defense in today's game..... LOL is one that slows down an opposing high potent offense so your offensive machine can score more than your opponent. There is not a defense in the land that can stop some of the offenses I saw from several teams this weekend like some of you guys remember from teams of old..
Football has evolved.
Unfortunately, not all coaches at the high school, college, and pro level have evolved with it.

We play Texas Tech, TCU, and Michigan these next 6 years, I think along with the SECw we have a sufficiently tough enough schedule. If he can't produce in year 4 he'll be on a really short leash, or already gone.

You're old enough to remember when they couldn't stop the wishbone, it will all even out in the end. Now, it may take 11 5* NFL #1 picks, but DC's will get it stopped, or slowed down enough to make teams change.

Hopefully, Auburn is the best offensive team we will face all year, another reason we should have hired Gus, but that's another subject. However, Auburn will not be the best defensive team we will face all year.
That's not negative, that's just where we are. CBB is and should be given the same chance that CMA is getting in basketball. After 4 years of their OWN players, they better produce, especially at what they are getting paid, and I don't mean adding even more cupcakes to the schedule. Both need to go to a meaningful postseason.
We have to be careful not to expect a 180 degree turnaround instantly. Yes we need to expect or demand more. But no coach is going to turn a program like Arkansas around to a championship contender in 1-2 years! I saw a well coached team for the most part. As I said earlier I don't what's going on with the tackling... but most every where else I saw a well coached team. It's impressive how much we look like his Wisconsin teams already! Some how some way those high paid assistants on the defensive side are going have to get the talent on that side of the ball.

Rule changes will be the only thing that will stop it. Or another more potent offense. Defense now remind me of when I coached T-ball.
If we could stop the other team from scoring the maximum runs one inning we had a great chance to win. If we stopped them twice the game was over.

HDN won when Bama was baaad, he's going to get a minimum of 4 years, you can take that to the bank. BP will be somewhere else in 3-4 years, I don't know if it will be because of his actions or not.
Until we as fans, stop getting in the way of our own success...then this cycle will continue forever. We've helped end the careers of some of our most successful coaches. Whether you liked them or not, Houston Nutt and Kenny Hatfield won some games. Throw in Lou Holtz and Bobby Petrino and file them under the ," I helped myself out the door" category and you've got a Hall of Fame for ex Hog coaches. Now we get a guy that most of the media experts say is a good hire, and some of us are already putting up benchmark numbers for the guy. Or we will "can"him? Only a simpleton can't see the improvement from last year. We were tied with Auburn at halftime, on their turf mind you. Unreal.
Because of several variables, mostly SEC West strength, I think Bielema is up against greater odds than past AR Coaches. As for stopping offenses - there are 11 players on each side of the ball. This weekend was more about blown coverage's, not fancy offenses. Week #1 learning curve.

Fans don't get coaches fired, losing and "extra curricular" activities get coaches fired. If you can't win and keep your zipper zipped, you need to be fired. Let's not kid ourselves, just because we are told by the media or the AD or Chancellor that it is a good hire, doesn't mean that it is.

Not to mention that hiring Malzahn wouldn't bring us Auburn's players. It's easy to win quick when you recruited all those guys to play your system, stepped away for a season and then came right back to the same guys ready to run your offense.
Nutt had off the field issues with a local news anchor that resulted in both of them leaving the area. Also, thanks for making the point that Gus is also a great recruiter. Geez, imagine us having a great recruiter and a great coach, oh wait, we did have him here, but the university decided to keep Nutt instead of Gus. Look how that worked out.

What happened to Kenny Hatfield then? He had a very good win/loss percentage but the crybaby fans we have thought he ran the ball too much. Too boring we said.
We didn't hire Gus. Maybe we should have, but we didn't. He will NEVER be our coach. Time to suck it up and move on.

You forgot "allegedly". That was much ado about nothing, dredged up by (and only believed by) fans that already wanted him gone. And it wasn't what got him run off, so it's really irrelevant to this discussion.

I'm not so sure it was about blown coverages, as it was talent differential. We've upgraded the offense with more talent, it's way past time on defense. 4.7 guys can't keep up with 4.4 guys, but when they get the opportunity to tackle them, they can't wiff.

I agree with you - concerning the Hogs. Although we've had that recruiting argument many times - maybe in the past, when you were saying Hogs don't need 4-5* recruits, you didn't understand what the 2* (4.7) - 3* (4.6) - 5* (4.4) star ranking represented?
The blown coverage comment (across the SEC this weekend) was in response to the preceding page about changing the rules to slow unstoppable offenses. Thought about copying/pasting the whole discussion, didn't do it - my bad.

No, not allegedly, you can't use hotel rooms reserved for recruits, to hook up with your mistress. NCAA was about to come down on that, along with his texting so yes, it was much ado about something, and it is relevant.

IF we can make some defensive adjustments, I think we still have a shot at 6 with a bowl win.

We have a chance to get TAmu and possibly LSU. LSU looked suspect for the majority of the game.

Coach BB is not going anywhere for a LONG time. Get it =) LONG time.
Also 6 to 9 wins a year will be the norm under Coach BB. History says that is good enough to be the Hogs coach for many moons.

I agree with you - concerning the Hogs. Although we've had that recruiting argument many times - maybe in the past, when you were saying Hogs don't need 4-5* recruits, you didn't understand what the 2* (4.7) - 3* (4.6) - 5* (4.4) star ranking represented?
The blown coverage comment (across the SEC this weekend) was in response to the preceding page about changing the rules to slow unstoppable offenses. Thought about copying/pasting the whole discussion, didn't do it - my bad.
No, rankings don't mean anything, offers do. I'll take plenty of CJ O'Grady's that are 3* with offers from us, Texas, OU, Oregon, etc..... Our safeties were 2*, we need 3* or better. We had a 5* CB a few years back that could fly, he couldn't cover anyone, or tackle, so it's not always about the stars.

Nutt had off the field issues with a local news anchor that resulted in both of them leaving the area. Also, thanks for making the point that Gus is also a great recruiter. Geez, imagine us having a great recruiter and a great coach, oh wait, we did have him here, but the university decided to keep Nutt instead of Gus. Look how that worked out.
You forgot "allegedly". That was much ado about nothing, dredged up by (and only believed by) fans that already wanted him gone. And it wasn't what got him run off, so it's really irrelevant to this discussion.
No, not allegedly, you can't use hotel rooms reserved for recruits, to hook up with your mistress. NCAA was about to come down on that, along with his texting so yes, it was much ado about something, and it is relevant.
lol, right. That's why the only people who've ever heard of this are the ones that wanted him gone. If the NCAA was going to come down on him, they wouldn't just quit when he jumped schools. That's where things like show-cause penalties come in. On the other hand, if they were going to come down on the school for "lack of institutional control" or some such, the coach being run out of town wouldn't stop them. And yet the NCAA never did anything to anybody.
Stop. Just stop. Everyone. I've already lived through this conversation 1023 times.
Okay, just about to reply with the info he didn't want, but I will honor your request. Back to the conversation, no one said fire him now, he gets 4 years, only fair to him to be given the opportunity to get his players for his style. I do agree that if he does not win a conference game this year, it will be hard to avoid the conversation, but I think they are good enough now to win 2 maybe 3 conference games this year. If he can win 6 and go to a bowl, that will be a huge step in the right direction. Winning cures a lot of ills, but losing only adds to the pressure.

Consistently questioning the coaching staff gets pretty old too. I hate losing just as bad as anyone else, but my goodness we are so overly critical of the coaches.

I am excited about the O-Line play. Thats a really big deal and something that was probably his first priority. Out of that you can get a lot of other good things. QB gets relaxed, more confident and patient, RBs become believers that the hole will be open, but will take ALL 4 years to get us in a position to go where we want to go. Thing I was most upset about were dropped balls. I had hoped we would not be afflicted with that virus this year. I call it a virus because dropping seems to be catching. Still gonna be tough this year. I will be thrilled with 5 wins this year. I think we beat Ole Miss, but lose to Miss state. Just my, after the first weekend of seeing everybody play, opinion. Someone back up the line said the SEC was down a little. I bet you have a different opinion of that 6 weeks from now. Come playoff time SEC will have 1 team in, due to politics, and will really deserve two.

The poster speaks dribble before he thinks.
Offense looks much improved, defense not so much (granted Auburn's offense is pretty prolific). And I agree we came out super-flat to start the 3rd quarter and Auburn imposed its will. I thought BA managed the game very well, he looks much improved. Overall I don't think it was a bad first game for the team. Signs of promise and a few concerns to correct but BB can correct them. Go HOGS! WPS!

Well the SEC office sets the conference schedules, the network did get to set up all the teams on it in the first 14 days?? As far as future games this year, it will still go with CBS 1st pick, then ESPN, then the SEC Network. The SEC Network is basically taking the place of the old Raycom sports slot. I think FoxSW has a game or two this year in the last year of their contract.

Third time I think, LSU-Miss St in 2007, and Vandy-USCe in 2012. I suspect you'll see it every year. Of course aTm-USCe played this year. Did Vandy and OM open last year?
Edit: they did open against each other last year.

All offense. No defense.
Yup that is going to get it. Run through everyone in the SEC minus Alabama then lose SEC title games and lose big bowl games.
I gotta go with HH on that - I've said all along that a few teams, like Alabama, can go old school because of their recruiting. But Arkansas, needs every advantage they can get with 20-30 ranked classes. If Arkansas gets back to winning .500 in SEC - be happy.
Coach b can do it. And has proven that with a spread team he can will sling the ball. Problem is we may never have a Russell Wilson ha.

If that's true then Arkansas is definitely on the right track.

They need a receiver who is a legit threat to stretch the field, which in turn helps the run game. Can he do that?
You could tell Auburn did not respect the WR's Arkansas had.

Hey, we don't take that #4 dumbest fan base lightly, there'll be several calling in to try and improve on it next week. As far as the game, about as expected, Nebraska needed the last play of the game to beat McNesse, aren't they in the same conference as Nicholls?
Same idiots that think the two lost recruiting years were easy to overcome. And that Malzahn stepped into a crap job. Malzahn is coaching his guys and didn't miss a lick. Bielema stepped into a bunch of crap, and he is doing a pretty admirable job of trying to repair it. But you can't explain to a complete idiot the difference.

Bielema stepped into a bunch of crap, and he is doing a pretty admirable job of trying to repair it. But you can't explain to a complete idiot the difference.
Malzahn is the better coach, and it doesn't take a complete idiot to see the difference.

Arkansas beat this team like they should have, and be glad they did, because had it been close, there would have been a lot of griping about it. Should have they scheduled them, probably not, but after going 0-10, I'm glad to see them take care of business.
I won't be suprised at all to hear someone on the call in shows to say Bielema should be fired for running up the score this week lol..
Hey, we don't take that #4 dumbest fan base lightly, there'll be several calling in to try and improve on it next week. As far as the game, about as expected, Nebraska needed the last play of the game to beat McNesse, aren't they in the same conference as Nicholls?
I think McNeese state is usually a top FCS team...Whereas Nicholls is well rather terrible...
you are being kind

UofA don't play in state teams!
Nichols isn't even a good DII team - Henderson St will stomp another hole em next week. My phone is getting blown up from out-of-state friends asking What? / Why? Honestly - A good scrimmage might be the answer - Texas Tech will step it back up, the Northern Illinois, before A&M, Georgia, Alabama.
Nicholls State is 1-AA, they're in the Southland with UCA.
LOL - yes I am fully aware of the Southland Conference... Statement still stands!

And I think Malzahn is a heck of a coach. But he would not have had a great year at Arkansas last year. There was zero talent. That is the point that keeps being overlooked.

Exactly.... There was no talent. Now there is plenty talent to run the ball on the Hill.
I agree to a point, but he would have won at least 1 or 2 more games than Bozo or CBB over the last 2 years. It certainly would have been a lot more exciting offensively.

No dumb arse, I had rather win, but if your going to lose, you might as well give the fans something to cheer about, with an offense that actually has a chance to put points on the board. If you play a team that scores a lot of points, and your team gives up a lot of points, you better have an offense that can keep up. Can't do it if all you can do is run the ball.

You quoted post #463. I quoted a conversation that began at #461, and did not include your later post. Maybe you should go back to the beginning.
Maybe you should only speak when spoken to, you saw what I said about the last 2 years. You just chose to jump in where and when you wanted.
I also saw that when BrianfromCarlisle started the conversation, he was talking about last year only. So sorry that your reading comprehension let you down.
If you mean by comprehending that you omitted what I said, just to make your point, it certainly makes it easier for you to do that.
So we beat the tar nation out Nicholls State. What or how does that really benefit us?
Isn't this type of scheduling over next year? I thought Long voted for something along those lines to end games like this?

I am just saying this coach has recruited a team like the Big 10 would recruit. Up there they beat up on pitiful teams but just like tonight they are losing losing losing when they play decent teams. I am agreeing with you.... talent is all in the eyes of the beholder. Coach BB would go 5 and something with the same teams Coach Petrino was winning 10 plus games with.
No doubt about that.

Broke the losing streak and set some records, and maybe gave the players a little bit of confidence. 10 games is a long losing streak, some of those players, and fans, may have forgotten what it is like to win a football game.
I was absolutely talking about last year. Given time Bielema, will have the Hogs back on track. He is well on his way to having a NICE 2015 class. You can't stop the stupid. Why try?

Offense was able to work on issues from last week.
Put in new stuff under game situations.
More reps, continue timing, practice catching the ball, learning the plays
Defense gets practice reps recognizing pass - run.
Picking up routes - practice Tackling 101.
Get to work younger players - backups.
Miss State 47-34 UAB. Hogs should take wins over both those teams.

If you had any comprehensive skills, you would know that I already said he gets 4 years. Do you really think a coach making $3,000,000.00 a year deserves more than 4 years to turn a program around? I guess you would be okay with him winning a total of 7 games by year 4. Now that is ridiculous. As far as the hatred, I have none, but I guess I expect more out of the football coach than you do. As "Long" as there are people like you who support mediocrity, then we really shouldn't expect to ever go to a major bowl again anytime soon. I mean really, you can only play Nichols State once a year, it's not like beating them like a drum means that the program is well on it's way back to the top. I know, I know, your greatest challenge in life is whether Carlisle can beat the Lonoke Jackrabbits every year.

Anyway, from watching the UTEP-Tech game last night, one could see that there's a very good chance for a win next week. UTEP's o-line pushed Tech around all night. Seemed like they got away from the run, which was silly, because their passing game was subpar.
If a CUSA team can do that to them on the line...

It was easy to tell we hadnt won in 10 games. The coaches were running more of their offense than against auburn. I was embarressed to be a hog fan with 5 min to go and we are passing

Say, down the road, Brandon Allen gets hurt. Wouldn't it be a good idea for Austin to get reps now?
What reps are better? Being down by more than 20 and playing against aubi or passing against nichols state and up by 60? I know what would have been more beneficial down the road
I guess collins playing in the 4th was beneficial too

Apples to oranges. By the time the Auburn game got out of hand, it was after a delay and in the middle of a storm. Might as well end it and head to the house.
It's still a young team, and they need all the reps they can get. It wasn't about merely running up the score.

Doesn't matter whether the players were there before, he swans with what he has. He never made excuses about what talent he had or didn't have. High School championships, College conference championships as a OC and head coach. More than CBB so far. Of course, I'm sure you will say that winning championships isn't documented proof, but winning is the only real documented proof that counts. He has changed college football, for the better I might add. You need to put your beer down and get out of the past. Arkansas will not win a championship with CBB style of football. I know it's probably fun for you to go to those high school reunions and relive "the good ol' days" of how you used to block for the running back on your team. Nobody cares what you did in the trenches. I'll repeat it for you, Gus is the better coach.

The guy is a clown moon. He tajes every chance to down the hogs on these threads.
I don't know what tajes means, but I don't down the hogs every chance on these threads. Is it too much to expect to win? Not too long ago, fans were disappointed if we only won 8 or 9. Now, we are hoping and praying just to get to Shreveport. Unacceptable!

Same idiots that think the two lost recruiting years were easy to overcome. And that Malzahn stepped into a crap job. Malzahn is coaching his guys and didn't miss a lick. Bielema stepped into a bunch of crap, and he is doing a pretty admirable job of trying to repair it. But you can't explain to a complete idiot the difference.
Malzahn is the better coach, and it doesn't take a complete idiot to see the difference.

I don't have any reason not to like Gus. He never did anything to me so you can wipe that thought off the board. I never said I didn't think he was a good coach. Obviously he is. BB is a good coach too.
You must know Gus personally.
Bottom line is....we didn't hire him. He's not our coach. You tell me to put my beer down and get out of the past. This obsession you have for your buddy Gus needs to be in the past.
And what was with the speech about what I did in HIgh School? I've never said anything about my HS days. Statements like that just make you look weak.
Tear the Gus posters down out of your moms basement, stop watching Star Trek and do something.
Now that was has been the most fun I have had in awhile. Don't know Gus personally, but I sure wish he was our coach. The guy's a winner!
There are lots of winners out there. You just seem to be pretty infatuated with him.
This game will give us a W, but not make us any better.

He didn't give a look to another Springdale guy, we've had enough guys with big boosters pushing them. Long didn't want to have a coach with a bunch of "supporters" hanging on.
So if they had hired Gus, and he had the same record as BB has had so far, would you be as hard on Gus as you have been on BB?
I haven't been hard on CBB, but to answer your question, YES! These guys are getting paid millions of dollars. Think about that, MILLIONS of dollars. Do you really think you would keep your job if you didn't produce? Especially for MILLIONS of dollars.

So, you say Bielema is incapable of putting a quality product on the field? Nutt had plenty of supporters and he often didn't put a quality product on the field.
I never ever said that CBB is incapable of putting a quality product on the field.
HEY - Gus is the man - obviously he's gifted as a coach! All I know about him is that he wins, wins, wins - not even fair to compare Beliema to Gus. How about lets change the subject to Hogs 2014 now?
Like I said yesterday, Hogs are 1-1, broke the losing streak, set some records, and hopefully gave the players and the fans some much needed confidence. They should thoroughly beat Texas Tech on Saturday and be 2-1.

We need this game against Tech, we should run all over them, hopefully we can make enough stops to win, Ricepig football has the Hogs by 10, although Las Vegas made Tech a 3pts favorite.

High school championships and championships of teams he was OC for are immaterial, as Bielema's never been a high school coach or an OC. There's no basis for comparison. Bielema has more conference titles as a college head coach.
Don't know him, but you seem to have name for everybody. Besides, I thought you were the one with all the proof. Care to produce any of it, or will you just continue with your name calling and slanderous remarks? Try and get back on topic like Valley requested.
Lashley was a crud at Shiloh and in his entire time at the UA. I can directly verify it.
Move along. Thread title is Hogs 2014 so get off this other crap on this thread.
Actually Locutus, Malzahn didn't make the national championship in his first year as a head coach!!! But anyway this thread is about the HOGS 2014 SEASON. Not about what coach isn't at Arkansas or what coach is better!! If you are not going to talk about the Hogs in a positive manner or about the Hogs period, I suggest you and whoever else is acting like five year olds to remove you childish, immature selves from my thread.
Okay second year, still beats CBB. I guess you can count Gus going from Arkansas State to Auburn is completely the opposite of CBB going from Wisconsin to Arkansas, except for the fact that CBB hasn't been to the NCAA championship game. Now that all of that is over, can we get back to the topic?

Can the crap on this thread BG.
Like Rutgers last year, I think Texas Tech could be a season defining game. How this game turns out could be the difference between 3 or 4 wins and 6 and 7 wins. Vegas currently has the line at Texas Tech -2 1/2.

Coach is Kliff Kingsbury. He's in his second year as a HC and was formally a QB at TTU under Leach. He was OC at TAMU while Manziel was there and at UH when Keenum was there.

I'm to lazy to look up their defensive stats, but you'd at least think we're as good as UCA on offense...might be a shootout...
Track meet. Hawgs 45 Red Raiders 41. UA leads time of possession 40:00 to 20:00.
I'm not arguing, just interesting to see Hog Fans compare themselves to UCA. Tex Tech is not even close to being an SEC Caliber Team.
We should win this game but I'm a little concerned about our D.. Shootout is definitely in the forecast

I won't be suprised at all to hear someone on the call in shows to say Bielema should be fired for running up the score this week lol..
Hey, we don't take that #4 dumbest fan base lightly, there'll be several calling in to try and improve on it next week. As far as the game, about as expected, Nebraska needed the last play of the game to beat McNesse, aren't they in the same conference as Nicholls?

Sagarin ever play against either of them? I know, I know, he's a computer genius. Anyway, UT-Martin next year, supposedly no more, but Long did say it would depend on scheduling and available teams for those dates.

Looks like your basic Texas Tech Black home uniform. If they wanted to go vintage T-Tech Throwbacks, wear the White Helmets and Red Jersey. The old 70's Rodney Allison Uniforms !!!! I guess the Hogs will come in wearing All White with our Red Razorback Helmets ?
I hear they are wearing APEX brand throwbacks.
Are they going to have a swoosh on them?

Yes, via the contract, but they'll have the big downward-facing hogs on the shoulders.

No. I follow the rule on jerseys - if you're older than the player it belongs to, you can't wear one.
Rule does not apply to kids or women.
Just got my ticket to the A&M game. Hoping we'll he 3-1 by then

Realizing that Texas Tech isn't the same as it was when Leach was there....but...it's a quality game I think. Just wondering if some peoples thoughts will change if we can come away with a win on the road. I know what we will read on here if we aren't successful.
My thoughts will not change. Beating Tech would right the ship for Hog Ball = 5 to 9 wins a season for the next how ever years coach bb is on the hill.
Well we're in the rebuilding mode so a win is win as long as each game we get better that's the steps we have to take. TT should be a great learning experience our secondary really needs to see a scheme like theirs. I am concerned because we don't play zone well and our man to man is questionable . On top of that we don't tackle well! All that plays in the strength of their offense. According to reports we are suppose to have everyone back in our secondary so we should be able to see if we have improved over last year or....more of the same!

Pathetic, just pathetic! I know my thoughts are going to change if you don't come away with a solid win. Like Arkansas might need to meet with the Big 10, Sunbelt, or Southland Conferences.
UCA 35 vs Tex Tech 42 - Final
fastdrop, how would beating Tech = 5-9 win seasons going forward? Can only schedule 4 non conference games.
misisissy schools .... surely Arkansas can be better then them and every now and then the Hogs will get to play vandy and kentucky.
Be careful not to under estimate Ole Miss this year.
Honestly I think we leave Lubbock with a W! Tech has failed to stop the run and if we get the running game plus a solid game from BA , we should be fine offensively!! Defense is what scares me! We don't tackle well and our secondary is not too solid and that fits right into kliff kingsBurys game plan!!! But anyway WPS Go Hogs

Almost exactly what I said LOL! I would add that based upon what TT defense has shown we should score on nearly every possession long as we don't shoot ourselves in the foot. I agree with you about the defense. It's the defense that worries me! I just don't have confidence that we can stop a passing team especially one with a scheme like TT.

Get up Hog Nation!!! It's Gameday!!!! #Beat Tech #1-0 #WPS
If it becomes a shootout we are in trouble. Hopefully the ground game can prevent that
I think we pound them into utter submission.
Reggie Fish would be proud of that special teams blunder
7 free points we'll have to overcome
For those of you dogging him, this is a perfect example of what a Bielema offense can do
Got to get off the field on 3rd down
Running a reverse pitch in the redzone. How brilliant.
Third touchdown for J-Will
Ya know, If Arkansas had a passing game and a defense this team would be dangerous!
Stop being cute. Just pound the ball.
Hope that Webb kid keeps running that down the middle stare the target down play.
Special teams blunder.
Tackling.
The razzle dazzle thing.
Gotta fix that.
Oh Louisville lost to a mediocre virginia team :D
Brandon Allen touchdown. I'll take it.
The 3 man rushes are not gonna cut it. We need to bring more people because our secondary is weak. Might as well get to hit the QB if they are gonna score anyway.
Where are all the bashers this game?
Tech's defense is sucking air. Completely gassed.
It isn't sexy but its how you beat a passing attack. Keep them on the sideline.
CHS. THE MOUTHBREATHERS like FD, suckatus, and hoghead only appear when we are losing. Plus they are probably tuned into Asu getting pistol whipped by my canes. Or crying over the petrino loss today.
TTU just threw in the towel with that punt.
Run it up. Why not?
Haven't seen any on the sideline, but Tech may need to invest in some O2 tanks. That poor defense needs it.
This is the ABC national game, correct? Hope a lot of recruits are watching.
Yup. We will get some exposure.
Past couple years we lose this game. Think we are on the right track. Got to get better against the pass
The Hogs did what they were suppose to do against a smaller, inferior team that loves to throw it. They went in and ran, ran, ran. TT's QB telegraphed probably 90% of his passes and we should of had more interceptions. But our secondary isn't there and probably won't be this season. But this was a good win. No need for the chest bumping at all though. We're not there yet either, but any road win is a good one.

We need this game against Tech, we should run all over them, hopefully we can make enough stops to win, Ricepig football has the Hogs by 10, although Las Vegas made Tech a 3pts favorite.
Quote from: Valleysports on September 07, 2014, 09:27:52 pm
Oh C'mon - Hogs by 3 - 4 TD's.
Great win today. D looked a lot better in the 2nd half. Should be a big confidence booster. We're gonna beat a team we ain't suppose to beat and ruin their season. I don't know which one, but we will.
Any WR recruit worth his salt has to have seen that game and thought he could come in and get a lot of snaps early.
First non-con road win in eleven years. I'm sure some of you remember the last one; I still have it on VHS.

Hogs Fans over estimated TTU and have continued to underestimate the Hogs. Good to see them keeping it in perspective now though. All building up to A&M, which I'm thinking will be a high scoring game - run vs pass. :)
A win is a win but please tell me Storey does not want to hand the ball off 60 times.I would go some where who throws the ball.
Did you see the balance in the first half? I think they'll throw more when they have a quarterback who can make the huge throws as well as receivers who can get separation

Hmm, I think Hogs fans were just being guarded with our defense, we haven't been stellar the last few years. I figured we would pound it and score, but wasn't sure how many stops we would get.

Some people are Hog fans, not type of offense fans. We threw it 30+ times against Auburn, we'll throw it 30+ times several more times this year. Why throw it when you're getting a first down on nearly every rushing attempt.

A prolific passing QB probably won't get too excited about coming here. An Arkansas boy with some home state pride though might put the team above all that. Depends on his pro aspirations I guess. There are plenty of guys that would gladly take his spot if he doesn't want it.
I honestly believe any offensive lineman and running back would LOVE to come be a part of it. If he can build a defense we might, eventually, make some noise.

Why throw when you are gashing a team and whipping their defense?

Teams I think the hogs could not beat in the big 12. Baylor, Oklahoma , Oklahoma state and a toss up with Texas. The rest I would consider wins.

Watch the play, I think it was, when Allen scrambled for a score.

Take it easy on them HH. They can't help it. AW is the typical Hog fan. I showed up at a wedding yesterday in central Arkansas and man there was some excited hog fans. The first game of the season never happened.
How can AW call me out when I predicted a 2 to 3 TD win..... Nothing in my mind has changed for this team. They are right where I thought they would be. 5 to 8 wins for a long time with an occasional rare 9 win season. Barely over 6 wins a year is the avg. for the hogs since joint the SEC.

I think Arkansas can beat A&M - and I've been pretty accurate so far. A&M started 9 freshmen on defense last night and lost several of those. Their defense is mostly 2nd & 3rd string now. They'll be good in a couple of years, but they were in high school 4 months ago. Bielema's best defense might be his running offense - time of possession. It'll be strategic anyway.
I'll let y'all get back to making something out of the N Illinois game.

Well I agree with that! Until there is a change in the SEC West, .500 is about it. 4 non conference / 4 SEC = 8 win season. Explanation in other threads - Alabama, LSU, Auburn, and now future A&M (not happening) - but it'll still be fun trying to knock these programs off.

Ah. The chicken little syndrome.
Back to the reasons Storey should or shouldn't come to Arkansas;
He will redshirt next year and will not play till his Senior year more than likely, he will never start in front of anyone with the last name of Allen, nevermind, no more reasons needed.
Hey UA looked great, Brandon Allen wasn't dynamic by any means but servicable!

Allen was handing off on most plays. Even if you look at only the passes, he was 6 of 12, so he couldn't have overthrown more than half his passes. So no, he wasn't overthrowing on most plays, or even most passing plays. The rest of your post might as well say "the sky is blue, and it got cool this weekend, and Halloween's next month" because all of that is obvious.
I don't care who the QB is. As long as he isn't turning the ball over and leads the Hogs to some wins thats who needs to be in there.

That is the problem AW. Just as sure as they can beat TTU, the Hogs can lose to the likes of mediocre Glue bags like Mississippi St. with ease or Ole Miss. It like beating Lake Village, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BEAT LAKE VILLAGE. Now show me something and beat WARREN or in their case ALABAMA in a good year. I can remember years ago when Arkansas was a legit top 10 program. Times have changed and the young Hog Fans have never seen but a scratch of the Hogs being legit.

A gift horse of a QB named Russell Wilson landed in BB's lap. He chose Wisconsin after being railroaded at NCSU by a new coach. He was a starter at NCSU and the new coach frowned on him playing AA Baseball in the spring and missing spring practice.

That bottom projection is jacked-up. How is Georgia and LSU in the 5 easiest while Mizzou is among the 5 toughest? And, why is Mississippi St. on both the hardest and easiest games remaining list?

I saw him on tv with a red tie. Rumor has it...per Guv...that that is a direct indication of him being hired onto the hog staff.

Can't speak to their rankings, but the MSU question is math: 9 known games left = 4 hardest teams + 4 easiest teams + 1 team that appears on both list because they're two lists of five.

Boo. Hoo.
Anyway and whatever, the hogs can't afford a let down and allow NIU to hang around. They need to put them away early and let the upperclassmen get off the field and let the young guys get some extra reps.
I think we can all agree with that.
Wow, this thread has lost its steam. Nothing to gripe about since we've won 2 in a row. Hope we can make it 3
WHY IS EAST CAROLINA STILL ON MY TV
Game is on espn 2 or on the watchespn app for those that are still yelling at the tv about east carolina lol
Now on ESPNU
21-0 nearing the end of the first against a good NIU team
The O line is just too much
Screw the miss schools. Bring them on.
Funny all the mouth breathing negative nancy boys are no where to be found again tonight.
If Allen can make throws like he did tonight we can cause some people some problems. He doesn't have to be great.
And our WRs are catching the ball!
Certainly don't wanna get get cocky but we've definitely improved. Texas A&M might have their way with us next week, but I think we can hang.
I'm sure glad Coach B is a moron and has no clue how to coach a kid up.
We go toe to toe with A&M. BANK ON IT.
Another convincing win, against another team that we should have beat convincingly. If the hogs beat the aggies, there should be a pretty nice 2 week build up for bama. However, these will be the 3 toughest games of the year, and injuries may play a big part for the remainder of the year, but just enjoy this one for now.

I knew about Brooks Ellis, but I'm glad you made that jab at me. I was at the game too. I thought that you knew about more than one considering you said "injuries" instead of "injury"
I was talking about possible future injuries over the next 3 games. Collins did get dinged up tonight as well. No jab intended.

I'm saying with A&M in a rebuilding year, starting 9 freshmen on defense, and all - Arkansas should beat them. They're only at 30% yet - better beat em now ;). They're over-ranked ( 6th) because they beat a previously over ranked South Carolina, then the same type teams Arkansas has played.

Last year there's know way we beat this team convincingly. We probably lose the tech game as well. That's improvement and if you can't see that you don't want to.
I'm not saying we are winning the West. We could actually lose all our conference games again but I don't think we lose in the fashion we did last year.

Good post, the hogs are very much improved from last yr and you're spot on about the game at Texas tech. No way we win or even play them close last yr.
I'm not saying we will, but I will say that all of our games from here on out are winnable
I would agree, and it helps to have most of the tough ones at home and in Little Rock.
I also get the feeling judging from how we've been playing (I know not against the best competition but still) that there could somehow be an outside chance that we could win out and make the playoff. I think that would be incredible for Bielema.
Here's my prediction: If Arkansas beats TAMU this weekend, we will win 10 games
That would be incredible for anybody.

Check your attitude at the door Mr!
Quiet a few A&M starters back in the line up, since last week. When I say they are only 30%, I'm talking 30% of what they'll be in 3 yrs. A&M will improve exponentially after this year - thus - Arkansas needs to take advantage of A&M while they're down. Same with LSU.
It's conceivable that we can win at least half of our remaining games. Considering that we have the toughest schedule in the country that will be incredible if it happens. Of course we could go winless as well. Regardless...I'm just glad we have a team this year we can be proud of again. If this guy can bring in some players.......
We have beaten the teams we are supposed to so there is improvement from last year. However, in the coming weeks is where we will see just how good we are. Btw, for those who say we have the toughest schedule in the country, do you know why that is? Its because the hogs arent ( although they may be after today) ranked to increase the difficulty of other peoples schedule. So, every time you say that you are actually takinf a shot at our team
That doesn't make sense. If we were ranked #1 we still have to play all these ranked teams. Our schedule is TOUGH no matter how you slice it. Everyone in our conference has a tough schedule.
If we pop into this weeks poll that won't change our strength of schedule.

Fare enough - with that many players switched out, I don't know what to expect from A&M's defense - other than they aren't very good. I'd like to see the Hogs win in a great game - will benefit the SEC with Hogs competing again. Wouldn't change my fascination with the Perfect Storm. :)

Just don't see how we are putting ourselves down by stating how tough our schedule is. If strength of schedule isn't important then we should never play a tough non conference opponent. Why schedule Texas Tech, or Rutgers, or TCU? I get what you're saying about our affect on other people's schedules. But we play tough opponents. Regardless of good we are/aren't.

You might have missed us playing Auburn and TAMU playing SC week 1. Conference play's been going on as long as the season.
Always appreciate your enlightening post lionheart - everyone is aware Arkansas is 0-1. Add Georgia, ranked #16 to that schedule.

Better wear black
Stripe the Stadium against Alabama - White - even sections / Cardinal - odd sections.
I'm watching the N Illinois game - Arkansas QB looks real good, pocket passer, scrambling, strong arm.

Nah, that's for cowards who only complain on a message board.
I complain vocally too. I keep trying to remind fellow coworkers that the last three teams were cupcakes and we will know more after saturday.
I agree we will know more after Saturday, but last weeks opponent was no cupcake.

Depends on how they come, we'll have to score to keep up, their offense is better than our defense right now.

Dang, that almost looks like a positive comment about the Hogs. ;D
The suspense of this game is exciting to me - no one really knows what to expect. Is A&M over rated? Arkansas under rated? A&M is over ranked, IMHO, because they caught S Carolina 1st game of season - S Carolina was over ranked. Anyway the outcome hinges on A&M's inexperienced defense. Can they keep Arkansas from controlling the game & clock, on the ground? Anything could happen, but I'm thinking this is going to be a great game. Also thinking Arkansas's passing game is going to break out soon. Can't wait until 2:30 Saturday!!

Nicholls St, BAM, Northern Illinois, Tex Tech, Ole Miss, A&M, Miss State, LSU, maybe an upset over someone else - two great running backs, SEC is down, even more in defense. Hogs are being underestimated! 6 wins......
Lots of espn/SEC network coverage this week about this game. Building a lot of hype. Hope our boys come out and take it to the gaggies.
Playing Auburn early may work out well for us. It gave us a hint of where we needed to be and confirmed some things about us and brought to light some things we didn't know about ourselves. Having several games to work on all that before taking on another quality opponent I think should payoff.
I liked them playing auburn first as well.
I am anxious to see if we really have improved or was it the level of competition. Are we tackling better because of putting in the work and effort or is because we couldn't get any worse?
I like the line play we have right now. We are protecting and clearing massive holes for the backs. Our defensive line is also getting pressure on people. Last year around this time, that was not the case. I am ready to see what we do against another top 10 team that is much like AU. I still think that he we don't get rid of our 1st half game plan we may have won that game. Tevin Mitchel being back seems to have helped as well. Very ready for the hogs game tomorrow. We will know for sure if we are a mediocre team or a team to watch out for this year. The number 1 and number 2 offenses in the SEC square off.
Mitchel and Toliver in the secondary help, and I was very hard on Mitchel last year for his wiffs on tackling. I'm still concerned at the safety position against teams going 4 wide, I'm sure we'll see a lot of nickel and dime packages. Hopefully we control the line of scrimmage and time of possession and get our scores on offense.
Well now don't get too overly excited ;D - the trench is one place Arkansas has had a huge advantage over inferior opponents. The A&M offensive line is one of the best in SEC. I hope the Hogs have prepared for A&M's running game - wouldn't surprise me to see A&M running the first half - running the clock and Hog defense down.

Sumlin is going try and take whatever we give him, he's a good offensive coach, no doubt.
I kind of hate the fact that so many are jumping on the Hogs bandwagon and saying they're the surprise team right now when in reality, they are where most of us thought they'd be at this point in the season. Which leads me to ask exactly what's surprising? Most knew they'd have a strong ground game, starting with a stout offensive line. Most thought they'd win 3 of their first 4. Simply put they look better, and most of us thought they would be, but that doesn't mean they're ready to beat the upper echelon teams just yet. I'd love for us to win the game tomorrow but so many are boosting and talking up the Hogs that if A&M wins easily, it sets fans up to pretty much get back down on them and criticize them. We have to remember Texas Tech should probably be 0-4 instead of 2-2 (Both UCA and UTEP should have beat them before we did), Nicholls State is truly down right now and NIU isn't the NIU of the last 3 years without Lynch at QB. We've looked much better than last year, but we probably need to scale back on how good we really are...or at least wait until after the A&M game. (and Valleysport you made a good point about running the ball because they did just that against the Hogs last year and were very successful).

I think it's more the margins of victory. Folks were expecting to squeak out a close win against TTU and maybe 15-20 vs NIU. Nobody expected a win by 60+, even against a 1-AA team. Right now people are riding high on a margin of victory +125 the last three weeks combined.
12th Man is in Dallas! Can't wait for the game tomorrow!
Woah, I didn't expect us to beat Texas Tech and I didn't know about Northern Illinois before the season.
Aggies 42 - hogs 28
Or hogs 31 - Aggies 28
Or Aggies 38 - 7
AT&T Stadium is insane!
If Hogs win (anything could happen - turnover, etc.. Hogs take lead into 4th, slow the clock) & LSU doesn't blow it yet - All 7 SEC WEST Teams could be ranked. That would give me some ammo over my Texas & Oklahoma Co Workers. ;D
Very ready to watch this game. Hoping the Hogs compete and make it tough on their offense.
Well didn't make it tough on that first drive. That kickoff return didn't help.
Offense looked great on that drive other than Johnathan deciding to not go North-South on that one pitch. Great job Razorbacks.
Can't bobble snaps...especially after stopping the Aggie offense.
The defense looked great in the 1st. Hope we can keep it up. They will get a few drives, but consistent pressure and making them earn it would be awesome.
Beautiful run. Welp.
Fastdroppings is wrong on the score.
Collins never looks like he's running very fast lol, but folks sure have trouble catching him.

Great game to watch so far.
I couldn't see. I was too busy watching how wide open our receiver was. Was it holding?
Yep
Big stop. Gotta capitalize.
What the devil goes on in Chaney's head? What's with the passing?
I can't breathe after that. The stadium (at least the Arkansas side) just went INSANE
Gotta eat crow on that fake punt lol. Can't believe that worked for a td.
got the TD back --- who would of thunk it.
Hogs have definitely won the first half.
Wow. That's all I can say.
Woo. Freaking. Pig. Sooie.
Come on hogs
A crazy half. Hope the Razorbacks are able to impose their will in the run game in the 2nd half.
Hogs up by 14
I'm a Beileimer!!!!

Who are these guys and what did they do with our defense? I vote to keep em lol.

Skipper is always doing stuff away from the ball, and has had his share of late hits. He ain't real bright.
Skipper was called for tripping. Stuck his leg out but heck it was well away from the play.

Got to answer with some points.
After another replay, it was pretty flagrant. Stupid move.
Yep. He may very well cost us the game with stupidity away from the play. Looks like it changed ole mo. Allen has got to make that throw on 3 and 12. Threw it in the dirt

I did not know the Hogs did not have a field goal kicker.
There better not be one "moral victory" post on here. Just go out there and win it.
I'm about to puke
How many Aggies does it take to lose in overtime?
pass defense...anybody want to give it a try?
Another game blown
3 yards and a cloud of dust.
Good effort though
just not sold on the Big 10 offense.
Let that one get away
I hate A&M.
That skipper trip killed us.
The aggies gave us every opportunity but we couldn't finish it. They dropped passes and recievers fell down on sure touchdowns. I do see improvements however
Skipper tripper and faulty kicker.
Arkansas is tremendously better.

Why not? That offense had a 2 TD lead going into the 4th quarter(not to mention at least 1 more called back by a stupid penalty away from the play)....If we play anything that resembles a pass defense then we win this game....Stupid penalties killed us more than the so-called Big 10 offense..
The 3 long TDs hurt
I noticed when the kicker was lining up that he looked like he was confused on which hash the ball was on. He didnt go very far to the side
Well there that defense we all know and not quite love is. Gotta say though, the Hogs looked better than last year. The trip play cost us dearly, but heck, they blew a lot of chances too. I really believe we've made some improvement.
Lot of improvement over last year, no doubt. We're all to anxious for this team to be a contender. The next step in our rebuild is learning to close the deal against tough competition. And we are in the toughest league and division of that league to take that step. Need 2 more years to get there.
Heck of a game. I talked to several Texas A&M people on my way back to my truck and congratulated all of them on a game well played. I think at the end of the day some people lose track of what this is. This is a bunch of 18-23 year old kids fighting and giving it their all out there. I'm in class with several of these guys and see them around campus. Let's keep this in perspective and not get on here and bash the kids and the coaches. It's obvious that Arkansas is a better team than last year, so the negativity is not only unappreciated, but at this point it's uncalled for. Either support the team or shut up

With all due respect, Skipper is always blocking or shoving or hitting way after the play is by him. It's one thing to stay with your block, but I'm surprised he hasn't been penalized more in previous games. He will be now though, because if he doesn't clean up his act, he will be an easy target for a flag. The kicker, well CBB should have known like everybody else, that he ain't very good. I don't care if they are 18 or 23, if you want to win games, you have to execute the right play. Same goes for Smothers and Allen on the snap. Make no mistake, this team is a lot better than the previous 2 years, even on both sides of the ball, but they still have to learn to finish them with a win and not a loss.
Good effort, but we can't have 8 penalties and win. Everyone wants to blame Skipper, but the wiffs on tackles in the secondary, fumbled snaps, FG attempt, are all part of it. No one play was the reason for the loss, we still had a 14pts lead. We need athletes at both safeties, fact, we need more speed and athleticism at WR, fact, and we need better QB play. I'm not blaming BA at all for this loss, we just need improvement across the board.
Arkansas played a great game today just came up short, the dumbest play in all of college football was that big burly offensive lineman throwing a trip, I laughed for about 10 minutes seriously lol I mean dude your legs are the size of tree trunks and to make it worse you go for it a whopping TWO times Lol That's effort but hey in my opinion it might've cost them the game would've possibly been 35-14 at that point.
Didn't know Arkansas had improved so much so fast, beating a top 10 team like that is no accident, it just sucks they have be in the midst of the sec west right now.
On the other hand Oregon and Michigan St. look to be the best teams in the country (http://www.singapore-forum.com/forum/images/smilies/whistle.gif)

One of many mistakes that effected the outcome, no more than the wiffs in the secondary.
I see Arkansas getting 8 (maybe 9 wins). I think we will beat LSU, Ole Miss, and UAB at home as well as Missouri on the road. I think that also we win at least one of the other three, possibly two.
My prediction, though, is that we WILL beat Alabama in Fayetteville in two weeks
Missouri beat an over ranked S Carolina today - the same over ranked S Carolina that caused A&M to be over ranked.
Those Skipper penalties would not have been called on an Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, etc. player.
Were going to give Alabama all they can handle in two weeks.

He might have got away with the holding call. But the trip was too obvious ! He's trying to trip the same guy TWICE on that play. The refs let the 1st one go. The bad thing about the trip is, that guy had no play on the ball whatsoever !

Mizzou is the one we picked up as our new permanent cross-division foe. Georgia's just part of the regular rotation.
Now that we see without a shadow of a doubt that we have really improved since the Auburn game we just got to keep at improving. In ALL phases! We going to have figure out how to offensively adjust in the second half. Change up formations, personnel, play calling...The second half should be the time for this offense to shine but since we a very limited at WR we got to find some other ways to move the ball. Somehow someway we must find a way to get Marshall on the field. Offense, defense or both (I say both)! We got 2 weeks to figure out what should have been done this summer get difference makers on the field.

aTm will lose at least 2 conference games, I'm not sure anyone, maybe Bama, will go undefeated.
They dropped a lot of easy passes and were also hurt by penalties. I thought our team looked really good Saturday. Tough, tough loss. Summing said we looked like a top 20 team. We pretty much much won everywhere except the scoreboard.

Are you crazy, they think they'll win a NC, biggest bunch of tards anywhere. You keep calling it a rebuilding year, but these numbers aren't terrible for returning starters.

OK if you want to debate it - get me a current roster (since starters getting arrested and kicked off team) - drop the 3 kickers listed as offense/defense returners LOL - meet me on the Perfect Storm Thread. You might not think so, but to A&M this is a rebuilding year. Statement stands!
That's not what they think. Their mindset is that Aggies don't rebuild, they reload.

Where you going to set that target down ;D you were talking about returning starters - now what are we talking about? That they have 8 seniors starting, some 1st time - some starting then rotating.
OK - I'm sorry for saying A&M didn't expect less than the National Championship already! ;D. I'll settle for - what is it y'all say? ' a Moral Victory!

They aren't any younger than others, that's what i've tried to convey to you. We'll be better in two years, as well they, but so will the other 5 SECw teams
Back to this season, didn't close against the Aggies, very disappointing. Two weeks to get ready for Bama and recruit, we're better, hopefully the record will show this.
Arkansas / A&M game is on SEC Network - right now.
I'd like to see Collins win the Heisman some day. He just ripped off that 50 yd TD in 2nd qtr.
We're going into overtime. A&M must've taken those Older Starters out before the 2nd qtr, RP. LOL

2. BG, what you are doing is no better than what RD did on the 6A board. I realize you are from Fayetteville and all, but the Razorback players that are from Fayetteville make bad plays and mistakes also...
3. I can be the first to admit when I'm wrong and I have to say that the hogs as a whole have improved and BA as well. He has played well enough for the hogs to win, we just have to eliminate mistakes. I think against A&M the coaches got way too conservative and let the Aggies sneak back in the game...
4. This board needs to loosen up a bit...my god back in the day it was a lot of fun with the banter back and forth. Now days it too politically correct around here...

Well said Venny...aside from the Democrat comment. :)
Just a simple question that I don't know. Has ESPN game day ever come to the Hill? They are coming to Ole Miss this weekend and that is all that is on the news. Big week of football in Mississippi. State/Aggies - Rebels/Tide all in the state playing this weekend.
since it is a bye week I figured I could sway a little on this thread.

Yep, there in 2006 when D-Mac ran and threw all over Tennessee.
Those were the days.... =)
It has surprised me that D-Mac has done so little in his NFL career so far. He was a man among boys in college.

I don't know but it is not a Saint Gus plan. They just scored again.
I think it's awesome - every game, every weekend, is more competitive and exciting - except LSU, just too much rebuilding this year. Wish Arkansas had LSU earlier, before they drop out of the rankings. Who you thinking Arkansas has the best shots at now - rice? LSU, Georgia, Missouri?

The Commies were big on 5 year plans.
Just finished a full day watching everybody in the SEC who played. Been following along on HV and came over here, I dare not opine over there, lot of sunshine pumping going on. Getting 6 wins in this league ain't gonna be easy. Heres what I saw today, among the losing teams as well as the winners, teams that could tackle. If we're gonna beat any of these teams who played today, we're gonna have to clean up our game and tackle. The LSU who played a while ago ain't gonna be the one we see. Just my feelings. These teams are ALL good, we are to. But in the SECw, good just ain't enough.
Good points cotnhauler, it seemed to me that we lost a little today, and we didn't even play.

Are we reading the same HV? I saw as many threads on why we won't beat XYZ as while we will. The vast majority picked us to go 6-6, that's still in the cards.
I can't beleive what I'm about to say but, Mississippi State may be the second best team in the SEC...right behind Auburn...
Who would have ever have thought that years ago?? They have vastly improved.....Arkansas is moving in the right direction too....I'm ready for Saturday.

Isn't it great! I'm excited.....I want to see a good game...plus it's stripe out...I think that's cool.
I'm afraid that Bama may really expose our weaknesses...
Had a hog fan bet me 5 bucks today that the hogs will beat Bama straight up. I swear I will not take his money when they lose. He is a young hog fan and doesn't know any better.
It would be worth the money to me if the hogs did pull out a win. I love the underdogs.
A win would sure be nice. Not only for the team but for the program. I think we need to strike early to have a chance. Seems like every game for us this year has been a contrast in styles. Not this week. Guess we shall see if our 3 star guys can out man their 5 star guys.

Actually, I'm expecting them to as much as I hate to say it. The last time they were in Fayetteville on a nasty, rainy day, it was ugly. Not saying it's going to get ugly, but the Hogs have got to go down field if they are to stay in it. I love the ground game, but in both losses, we haven't been able to run it with a whole lot of success in the second half because teams adjust and scheme to slow it down. At some point, we've got to turn the tables and keep teams on their toes with the threat of a vertical passing game. Not sure if this is the week it'll happen though.

You're trolling again.
Im 99% sure we wont.
A&M is better than LSU. We have LSU in Fayetteville. Make me a wager since you're so confident
In fayetville means nothing. No real home field advantage there. Lsu will have a much better defense than atm but not as good of an offense. I agree we always play them close no matter how bad they/we are.
It doesn't matter. And stop saying that we are bad. We are not bad this year. We will beat LSU....Have you seen them play this year?? Not near as good as we are.
I never said we are bad. I said, "we always play them close no matter how good or bad they/we are."
We are a decent football team who happens to play in the best college football conference in the country. If we played in the big10, i say we win 8 or 9 games this year But we dont
No. That is your front. What you are is someone that refuses to let anyone be optimistic. You get to express your views but you seem intent on squashing anyone that wishes to be positive.
That will end soon.
If UGA doesn't have Gurley, that's a W. If they do, we've still got a good shot, but without him they're toast, they'd already taken some injuries at RB this year and Chubb can't cary the load by himself.
That does make it more interesting. With out gurley uga will struggle
Hogs going throwback unis tmrw.
http://www.hogville.net/yabbse/index.php?topic=577399.0
Those are pretty sweet. Reminds me of the Grovey/foster days
Nice unis...as for the remainder of the games, it's good to be optimistic but I'd shy away from guaranteeing victories over LSU or Georgia. We've got a chance to win both games, but those are two teams with a lot pride. Georgia has a lot to play for, with or without Gurley. And LSU is still LSU. I doubt if they lay down for anyone.
Nice to see the throw backs. The Hogs will need to wear their big boy pants tomorrow/today! Just keep getting better.
Love the throwback! The rings were super nice that JL presented to them!!
It's Game Day!!!! Time to get fired up and call those Hogs! :)

My fandom is headed to a tailgate. Looking for a good game.
It's 'Bama in Fayetteville. That's good from the beginning. I sat through the 52-0 two years ago and fully think we have a td either way game today.

Weve got to get a more accurate passer in crunch time.
Well my Lord. Stare at the receiver. Come on!!!
I love the offsetting personal fouls. Skipper did absolutely nothing
Bama is dang lucky to be playing us tonight. Anybody else would have blown them out.
Yep
Well there ya go...
Stupid, just stupid.
Anybody else???? Ridiculous Absolutely ridiculous. He cannot handle pressure. Never will be able to handle pressure. Defend him all you want.
We need to recruit receivers that are 7 foot tall
He is a deer in headlights. Will never get better. This game should have been a run away by the Hogs
In the end, Bama said BA you're gonna have to beat us and he couldn't come through. Defense played great.
Rafe Peavy NOW!!
He can't beat anyone. Never ever will. He is a D2 QB
Thats the worse game i have seen a saban coached team play since the got beat by ulm. We should have beat them by 14 if we dont make the same mistakes they did
Arkansas absolutely should be 5-1. Stupidity kills. And Dan Skipper absolutely did nothing wrong and got penalized. It is time for someone else under center. BA is not it

You never see alabama make so many mistakes. 3 fumbled punts dropped ints and penalties at the worse time. Their qb play this year is awful. I agree both defenses played good though
I'm gonna get banned for speaking the truth? So be it. I simply stated the truth. It isn't my fault it happened. I don't live in NWA and will not babysit them. Let his baby brother give it a go.
Everyone collecting my quotes? Funny.
Its sad brian but yes you probably will. The truth is frowned upon here at times
I don't think Brian did anything wrong, personally. You can speak the truth without being malicious (which he's doing)
Oh and Venny, as I recall that wager was about the Kentucky game
I simply stated the obvious. During the game. I can't help what happened
Nobody in that stadium deep down believed the Hogs were actually going to win this game. If they did they were under 5 years old.
If you want to beat Bama this is the year to do it.
The Hogs can beat Missouri and LSU. Not saying they will but they can.

Up until this week I would have disagreed....but our defense played lights out tonight. Bama's special teams were horrid outside of the blocked p.a.t...They tried to give us the game at times....And for 3 quarters Brandon Allen was decent, at the very least serviceable, but he cracked with the game on the line. And then Tony Romo'd it with the INT to basically end the game....
Still don't believe what my fellow fans on facebook believe, in that we should be getting rid of bielema....those fans just make me smh and wonder if they actually watch the games or just wait to see if we won or not.

He is....a lot of so called fans either don't understand, or don't let facts get in their way and admit that Malzahn walked into a gold mine and Bielema walked into a complete rebuilding job.
If we had not given away 11 points (fumbled TD, blocked XP, missed FG), we're up 10 late and there's no pressure on BA to put the game on his shoulders. We've always known this is a ball control offense, not a team built to come back late. We simply cannot afford to give away easy points if we expect to win. The game would've been totally different if it'd been 17-7 at halftime like it should've been.

i think CBB is, but Chaney not so much...
I agree, We looked really good on the defensive side of the ball and we looked just how i suspected in our run game against a really good defense. We have to pass and did ok until crunch time and bama dialed up the pressure. We have to be better than just ok if we expect to win football games in the sec

Would keep him over Kiffin
I am a huge Hog fan. But I simply stated the obvious.
Carlisle is as close to Ole Miss as it is to the Hill. Jump on that band wagon.
There is no bandwagon with me. I have been a Hog fan from birth. I will die a Hog fan. There IS NO compromise. I hate Ole Miss

A lot of my friends think I enjoy watching the Hogs lose...I don't. I just won't go around telling people we're going to go 15-0, and if you don't believe that you don't deserve to call yourself a fan....Which I did have a guy tell me a couple of years ago.
Painful loss. But we didn't get beat 52-0.
Still believing in a bowl.

My point was - we get it shut up now!
I said 6-6. But we COULD have been better. We are farther along than I expected. Obviously we are severely lacking at THE key position. Defense has dramatically improved.

So you're gonna put Austin under center? You are myopic. BA has improved by leaps and bounds and played well enough for us to win today. Two dropped interceptions by the defense, three missed fumble opportunities, bad snap on the p.a.t., sheeit, I can go on and on. Shoulda won this game. Dominated statistically. We are knocking on the door in BB's second year with a youthful team. People want microwave success. You can't win instantly when the cupboard was bare when you got there. Firing coaches after two years is acceptable if there is no improvement or the program runs rampant with scandal. BB has a plan and it is working. If you thought we would be in contention for the SEC Title this year you are a fruit loop dingus.
Fifty one point improvement.

Arkansas will win 10 games next year
He blew it in crunch time. Plain and simple. The team is way better than most thought. I totally believe Beliema has it going on. I also absolutely believe we have the capability to be a top 15 team to start next year. We will make, and win, a bowl this year
I'm not myopic at all. He absolutely cannot get it done under pressure. That has to either change, or a change has to be made. It is that simple.

Played well, particularly on defense. But when your ground game isn't getting it done, you've got to get it done through the air and we didn't do it. BA made a few nice throws, but he telegraphs his throws on nearly every drop back because he stares his receivers down. Don't get me wrong, he's improved from a year ago. But he's got to relax and just play the game. I do think the Hogs could have instituted more screens or something to keep Bama guessing because they basically knew what UA was going to do for most of the second half. The Derby TD was a great individual effort.

Brandon Allen has paid his dues as far as I'm concerned. I'll admit I wasn't too sure about him but he has won me over. Alabama turned it up late. Lots of 5 star guys out there for them. Wasn't a good 4th for BA. I'm not gonna hate on him. Coach B believes in him. I believe in Coach B. He knows his team better than any of us do. When he loses faith in Allen then and only then will we make a change,
Not a problem with me. I have an opinion and said nothing out of line. Until the comment you called me out on. But I don't take the preceding comment to it well either. I will bite my tongue from now on when dealing with ignorance. Sorry.
Cheer up.....have faith Hog fans.....being humble in defeat leads to gracious victories.
This team is better than last year.
The defense has made more improvement over the last 2 games than the offense has.
Special teams, especially the field goal and PAT kicker, are not very good.
Conference streak at 0-15 and growing.

I agree. The kid is gritty. But the talent level in the SEC will continue to keep him anchored as a average QB.

It isn't sexy but its how you beat a passing attack. Keep them on the sideline.
CHS. THE MOUTHBREATHERS like FD, suckatus, and hoghead only appear when we are losing. Plus they are probably tuned into Asu getting pistol whipped by my canes. Or crying over the petrino loss today.
I watched the Bama game as I've watched the T-Tech, A&M and Northern Illinois games. Here's a Bama team in Fayetteville sitting in a fish bucket and the Hogs let them off the hook. 4th and 1, just like against A&M. Largest O-Line in the Country and same results as the A&M game. I've watched the Hogs since 1968. There's been some good teams and some bad teams. But one thing holds clear. They've won 2 BIG GAMES in 50 years ! The 1964 Cotton Bowl and The 1978 Orange Bowl ! Today was your typical Hog loss that I've learned to expect. Still I say, Go Hogs !

He's physically tough, no question. I'm thinking its between the ears - crunch time, he hasn't shown he can make plays on a consistent basis.
Crunch time, like most of the game, Allen was passing while scrambling for his life. He scrambles pretty good - give him A&M type receiver's and Arkansas would be winning these games. That game shouldn't have come down to Allen trying to throw a desperate home run. Or should it have? If Alabama would've missed their extra point, they'd probably be throwing their QB under the bus too..........
If you have an 5 star QB (who wants to play for Arkansas) - send in his resume. They're a dime a dozen!
It doesnt take a 5star, just someone who can make throws when you really need it.
Since Collins didn't play in the first quarter, and his head was obviously not in the game when he came in and fumbled in the second quarter, one has to wonder was he being punished for some reason. He played like he wanted to be somewhere other than on the football filed. This offensive line is better at run blocking than they are at pass blocking, BA was being pressured most of the night. However, the last play against the Aggies in overtime and the 4th and inches that we couldn't get against Bama, prove that we are still not where CBB wants us to be. The defense played like a SEC defense, but the offense made way too many dumb mistakes.
BA is very limited and at times looks like the JV QB running against the varsity defense! However, outside of the our TE's our passing game is limited. Looking at AU, MState, OMiss, and A&M....they have some very solid WR's. We need 2 years solid recruiting to get a SEC standard WR's. Meaning NO MORE recruiting kids that excelled in system offenses in high school! The good news is I think the staff knows and understand that in the SEC you need good athletes maybe your best athletes at WR's. If we had good WR's I think BA would look better.
Collins was suspended for the first quarter for missing a workout during the bye week

Correct, we need improved play from all, pretty simple observation. The QB gets all the blame or credit because the ball is in his hands, but QB play didn't lose this game.

Love being a Hog fan right now. Hate losing, but am watching a team develop right before our eyes. BA keeps getting better. Not perfect, but you can tell he's learning. Every other part of our game is on track. I'm not ready to attack the late play calling. I see barely missed blocks. Execution. We need more studs to play a complete game. We'll get there. I actually feel positive about being optimistic. WPS and screw the haters.

i don't think anyone is putting the total blame on BA, however he does have the Tony Romo syndrome of doing not so brilliant things at the worst possible moment. Historically with Qbs that doesn't seem to change quickly. Also, throwing the ball 6' over the receivers heads is totally on him, nobody can deny that. He does have good qualities like his scrambling ability (Tony Romo), but he just crumbles at the worst possible moment. He has improved dramatically. Good news is, we have a great one coming in next year, along with what looks to be a very good class...good times ahead. Also I have to put a lot of blame on Chaney...I'm not sold on him yet...

You don't waste time outs shifting formations on punting downs
You don't hand the ball off 7 yards deep on 4th and one and try to run off tackle
You don't throw the ball back across the field from one hash to the other
You don't fumble snaps
You don't keep running the toss sweep which has gained nothing all sec season
You don't keep trying to bootleg Allen, good kid, just not athletic enough
......
The blame lies with everyone but you can't keep giving these guys a free pass
I'm not. It's a team loss. Not a BA loss.
Not saying the loss was on Allen - but there is ample room for criticism for his play.
As I've been saying, it appears to be a mental issue. Dunno what else it could be.

I agree. He may not fully trust what he has on the edge. Derby and Henry are his passing bread and butter. Which is fine. But we have no true SEC WR talent with breakaway speed. I mean a couple of the wrs have been making great plays but for the most part, we are lacking that playmaker that can go up and get it. Good Lord KJ Hill can't get here quick enough.

I don't make the rules around here, Lanny does. I'm not giving any pass, I don't delve out the punishment, Bielema does. It looks to me that he was punished. Also, I don't care what concerns you.

Using that term is actually forbidden here under any context.
A better choice would have been "that was stupid".

Hogs have an over all winning percentage of around 58%.

How much different would those percentages have been had the hogs been able to finish the last 2 games with a win?
So...Nobody else upset with just having 89 Rushing yards on almost 40 carries? We're known as a power run team and all...

Well, Brandon lost about 40 yards, but Bama doesn't give up much. Chaney said inability to "win on 1st down" was key. "We got off schedule. And it's tough playing teams like that when you're off schedule."
Unfortunately, a lot of those carries were by BA. Williams had a decent game, Collins gave them a touchdown with his fumble, and he was a non factor. Even though our line is extremely huge, they are not all CBB's recruits, and probably not exactly what he needs. They are good, not great, at run blocking, but they are not very good at pass blocking. Not to mention we really don't have a true blocking fullback.

Correct, we don't pass block well enough to run double moves or combo routes. We only do those in play action where we freeze the linemen and LB's. Most of our pass plays are short routes to get rid of the ball quickly.

9 carries for 5 yards. Not sure how many were sacks though.
Bama does have the #1 run defense in the country. Even with our run game neutralized, we were a blocked XP from overtime, or a missed FG from a regulation win, or a goal line fumble from a regulation win. That's encouraging, to be that close even when you were taken out of your game.
Defense played outstanding.

We threw for 250yds, and out gained them by over 100yds.
And this matters how? We have to score

Yep, QB didn't fumble untouched going into the end zone, snap it too high on a FG, or have his extra point blocked. Mallett and Wilson threw for tons of yards, yet they didn't score enough.........QB play didn't beat us in this game, if you can't figure this out, well, let's just say you might have an agenda. Games in LR this week, you going??
I havent said qb play did beat us. Qb play didnt win it either though in crunchtime

Nobody is saying on here that BA is a game-changer. He's managed the game, thrown effectively enough to sub-par wideouts and kept us in a position to win. It's the little things that are killing us. DBs dropping INTS, FB fumbles 3 inches from the goal line, OL tripping penalties and holding at critical times. Take these away and you're singing BAs praises for managing the games because we won the last two games.
We have to learn to close the deal. If we can do that then we will start winning I believe.

We would be looking at a 5-1 football team probably.
Heres one thing some fans are missing. Go back and look at the game film and see how many ints bama dropped. I can tell you. One on the first or second drive that hit the db in the faskmask and one right before half that hit the db right between his arms. Now, BA did throw one at the end of the game though on a bonehead play. Not to mention how we got the ball back to fumble it while going into the endzone, it was one of the 2 muffed punts bama had and both teams missed a fieldgoal.
It would be appropriate to end the losing streak in the ROCK.

Where home field advantage means something. It's our best shot imho
I've definately seen worse complaining on here. But.....if someone would've told you back in the spring that we would've played well (for a half) at Auburn, and have chances to beat both Texas A&M and Alabama....most of us would've laughed. This team has grown so so much and is learning to fly. We looked better than both of those teams, we just couldn't seal the deal.
Most games you watch ----------------------------------------------------------------

The losing team could of won if....if.
I agree that at least the Hogs this year fit in the category. The last 2 years ther were not many ifs.

Bonehead play, Williams was breaking open, Brandon just under threw it a bit. If he had over thrown it, you'd be gripping because he over throws wide open receivers. Those scrambles he made and passes he completed were just as important as crunch time, or there wouldn't be one. I don't think he's a great SEC QB, but outside of a couple, there isn't any this year. I guess you fall into the category that the only reason he plays is because his dad works at the UofA and bet from Fayetteville. You seem to forget, I won bragging rights in this forum, go kick rocks.

I'm not disputing Grovey's abilities,
He was a winner. I can still see him breaking that Defensive ends ankles from Miami. Im just saying he handed off a whole lot more than Casey Dick. Quinn might've passed it 5 times a game.

That's because they run the flexbone back then
Exactly. And they won a lot of games doing it. I know Casey Dick threw it some cause everyone griped about how weak he was. Grovey handed off a ton more. Just sayin
In other news....I saw where the SEC has admitted that the officials made a mistake with the clock at the end of the Bama game.

it's apparent you have never thrown a ball. go out in your yard and try it. if you can set your feet it doesn't make a difference but if you can't, the only option is jumping as you throw, and that means you can't step into it. come on RP, you know this but for some reason can't bring yourself to say it. smh

Agree, this was not the first time the officials have messed up in a hog game. It does seem that it always happens to us, especially in big games! Why didn't BB get the time out before Bama scored? Looked to me like he was out past the hash trying to get it!

I've thrown more football's at higher levels than you, lol. He said he didn't get enough on it, not that he couldn't. I bet he can throw it 40 yards with just his arm alone, tons of QB's can. He didn't throw it for enough, I never denied that. I thought it was a great look, as, the rest on that side of the field didn't come back to him.

Now, BA did throw one at the end of the game though on a bonehead play. Not to mention how we got the ball back to fumble it while going into the endzone, it was one of the 2 muffed punts bama had and both teams missed a fieldgoal.
Bonehead play, Williams was breaking open, Brandon just under threw it a bit. If he had over thrown it, you'd be gripping because he over throws wide open receivers. Those scrambles he made and passes he completed were just as important as crunch time, or there wouldn't be one. I don't think he's a great SEC QB, but outside of a couple, there isn't any this year. I guess you fall into the category that the only reason he plays is because his dad works at the UofA and bet from Fayetteville. You seem to forget, I won bragging rights in this forum, go kick rocks.
everyone who has ever thrown a ball knows they can't throw as far nor as accurately running away from your target
I guess that's why teams roll out to one side and throw the throw back pass.
it's apparent you have never thrown a ball. go out in your yard and try it. if you can set your feet it doesn't make a difference but if you can't, the only option is jumping as you throw, and that means you can't step into it. come on RP, you know this but for some reason can't bring yourself to say it. smh
I've thrown more football's at higher levels than you, lol. He said he didn't get enough on it, not that he couldn't. I bet he can throw it 40 yards with just his arm alone, tons of QB's can. He didn't throw it for enough, I never denied that. I thought it was a great look, as, the rest on that side of the field didn't come back to him.
Then you should know it was boneheaded
They are only bad when they don't work, that play didn't beat us anymore than the blocked extra point. QB play didn't beat us against Bama, several different factions contributed.

I agree but it didn't win it for us either.
Bama is old news now. 3-3 is where I thought this team would be. I figured the Hogs would improve and they have. Never dreamed Bama would look as bad as they have so far this year with the exception of the Florida game.
I circled the Dogs as a win since I am old school and think there is still magic in the Rock for the Hogs.

^ Casey Dick. To London Crawford. That type of style.
Casey Dick was the best Handoff Technician in Razorback history.
I would've thought that would've been Quinn Grovey. Who, by the way, is one of my favorite Razorbacks of all time.
No it's Casey Dick. Quinn Grovey was a All-SWC QB who won the last two Conference Titles for the Hogs 25 years ago. Casey Dick was a Hand Off Technician.
If only Casey dick were playing Rice every week.
He would lose to Rice. Plus Arkansas would've never recruited him. However if they would've gave Casey a scholarship he just would've watch Grovey become All SWC and win the last two conference titles in 25 years back to back while riding the bench. Cheer for the Handoff Technician if you must, but he wasn't even a SWC calibur QB less known a SEC QB.

Once again you show your wisdom of the ages.....
Anybody thinking Grovey was just a hand off qb never watched him play. He might have only 4400 pass yards, but the man did pretty good when he needed to pass. Has anyone under 35 not ever heard about the showdown with Ware?

I don't believe anyone ever said he only handed it off. In a flex bone option offense there are gonna be plenty of handoffs. He was a great QB for us.
I didn't realize till just tonight that Derek Russell was still in the top ten of Hog receivers. Looked up Grovey's states and there Russell was.

The safety he inexplicably took. He could've easily gotten out of end zone. I remember as a kid just being in total disbelief that it happened.

Miami DE Bill Hawkins tackled him for a safety one yard deep in the end zone. Yet in still Atwaters dropped Interception gave Miami the chance to win the game on the very next play 18-16 with a Carlos Huereta FG.

My point is that is the only glaring mistake that I can remember Grovey having. He was truly something else.

I was Lou Holtz picked us to win.
Not a good defensive series there. Wow. That stupid extra point miss.
Gotta keep scoring.
If it's Austin, he can do this.

If you can't convert PAT's, you are never in FG range. Puts tremendous pressure on offense to score touchdowns.
Tevin Mitchell needs to sit
Keep your mouth shut!!!
We need to find a qb who can throw accuratly
Can't believe I'm saying this but I'd rather be playing Alabama. Goodness Georgia looks good
This is the worst I've seen us look all year
Bama came out hot today. Not sure I'd want to be playing them today.
Guess the rock can't even help this pitiful ancient run it up the gut Hog team. I feel sorry for the real fans.
Absolutely pathetic.
I wont blame the sacks on allen, but he needs to hang on to the ball better.

Ban me if you want I don't care
Send him to division 3
Not just Allen it is the system. It aint going to work in the SEC.
I agree unless you can get great players like bama and lsu
He isn't D1. But it isn't all his fault today. He will never be able to make the throws or handle pressure. The upper class is just pathetic. Bielema has to get that crap out of his system. Then we will be fine
LOL. how do you overthrow that freaking bad???? PATHETIC

Fastdrop I pity you. You are kicking someone while they're down. Is your self-esteem really that bad that you have to use put downs to make yourself feel better? I'm glad that you can judge after ONE AND A HALF YEARS that Bielema is a terrible coach
My only hope now is that BA has his new truck parked somewhere secure.
Bielema is fine. Sorry that you wanted someone else. He had the horrible players he inherited to deal with. You will NEVER agree. Fine. But it is the truth. You can't make horrible players better. Plain and simple. The younger players are better. Now is the time to see if anyone else can QB this team.

Fans put a lot of blame on Allen but there's only so much you can do as a quarterback when your receivers can't get any separation from the defensive backs.

That's the biggest problem for Arkansas right now on offense....Can't keep the defense honest if you can't beat their secondary deep every now and then...
I've come to realize that most people are very irrational hog fans.
Ive been saying that for a while but get accused of trolling
Right. But HOW do you overthrow everyone?
Yep. That was actually a good throw

Haven't heard much the past 3 weeks when we've lined up with the big boys and played well. It's like some of you just wait for these KIDS to play bad so you can hammer them.

sometimes the truth hurts...this Arkansas team is bad, better than last years though. Are we improved? Sure we are, but that doesn't help and moral victories are for losers. Some people call it like they see it and don't watch games with razorback colored glasses. I have suffered through the good times and the bad, but I will never say we are good when we are not...sorry if that hurts yours or anyone else's feelings. People get especially upset when someone hammers the Razorbacks, but like I said...the truth hurts. Judging who is a hog fan and who isn't is just plain stupid. Why is someone not a hog fan just because they don't think we are good? Just like basketball, still love the hogs but under Heath and Pel we were atrocious. Can you really argue that? Different people show their love in different ways...I love the hogs but think we are a long way off, and moral victories don't do it for me...and guess what, I am a Dallas Cowboy fan also so you can imagine what I have been going through...
I give them credit, they arent quiting, but we dont have enough time left to score that many points.
Bama was clearly looking ahead to A&M...

I laugh when i see immature adults want people gone because someone has a different opinion. And thats exactly what it is, immaturity
The trolling is noticeable by game and play. In a way it makes me appreciate the others who don't micromanage and live play to play.
When it's bad, there are handful that need to show up and act-a-fool under the disguise of realism. With one exception, it's simply a character flaw. These fools show me how not to be.
They circled the waters when this game was lost and desired more of the same for the second half. Yet, the Hogs have done an admirable job of maturing in the second half. Thus, less negative posts during this window of time.
Get your shots in now. Ignore the good plays and the good things. Bemoan how bad it's made your life while seemingly enjoying the difficulty of the present with asinine posts.
Lines are firmly drawn. DO NOT get on our wagon when we get traction.
As for the rest, you're appreciated as fans but even more so as humans. The pain of losing is temporary. The acts of trolling is permanent.
Good day all! Love my Hogs today as much as anyone.

It's more than that. Its about what is allowed on here and what is not. You and the others don't like, then leave. You're free to stand on the roof of your home and shout out your perfection viewpoints to the world.
Hogs didn't quit, but there's a difference in intensity when you're up 32 at the half.
We are SOOOOOOOO close to being there. Yet so far away!!! Dang it. Our glaring weaknesses are so very glaring

Close to correct. But tell me you didn't see 60-13 at the half. "Nothing" is a bit too broad.
No one is happy. No one is satisfied. It's just a matter of how you express it.
6 wins will be tough...hope I contributed there...
The second half showed fight. That is at least something. These guys actually act like they are sick of losing.

Major one.
Not sure what Marshall did, but it sounds like he's on his last strike with Bielema. It must have been pretty significant because he'll pretty much sit out the rest of the season. Big loss for the Hogs.
Yet, that is how it should be handled.

UAB next - 4-4
All BB wants to be or do is smash mouth football. All Chaney wants to do is throw it around the yard. More than anything, this team is lacking an identity. That has to be corrected before this team can even begin to think about winning a conference game and going bowling. It doesn't matter how good or bad the players are if the coaches can't develop and stick to a game plan that fits the personnel that they have assembled.
Brandon, as shown by his passing in the second half, is more comfortable in a spread offense. I wish he had 3 reliable and even 2 deep threats besides derby and Henry. I feel he would flourish if he had threats on the edge. The running game is there but we can't put it all on the two backs.
I think if Allen is in shotgun with WRs, we would be seeing a different Allen. He has no one that can get adequate separation.
There is still hope for the season. We have no depth. We have no huge playmakers. We have to get better recruits to help the quarterback out.
What I saw was the difference today was:
1. The penalties. Dumb ones.
2. Offensive line was horrid today.
3. Same can be said for special teams.
4. Philon not playing in first half. And no Ellis. Mitchell getting tossed and toliver getting hurt. We don't have the depth to lose people.
5. Our defense was very out of it today. Partly because I think Ellis plays a huge part in alignment and leadership
My two cents. Still have games to play. We can do it. Just gotta play 4 full quarters which we have not. Why we can't, that's anyone's guess. I have my theories.
When people from Anchorage to Albany know all you're going to do is pound the run its easy to scheme against you. Cut off the run and sit back watch your passing game sink you. In this system of College Football you have to be equally yoked in the pass & run games. Until then you will suffer ! I hate the fact that the Kansas States of the college football world are better than the Hogs !

The trolling is noticeable by game and play. In a way it makes me appreciate the others who don't micromanage and live play to play.
When it's bad, there are handful that need to show up and act-a-fool under the disguise of realism. With one exception, it's simply a character flaw. These fools show me how not to be.
They circled the waters when this game was lost and desired more of the same for the second half. Yet, the Hogs have done an admirable job of maturing in the second half. Thus, less negative posts during this window of time.
Get your shots in now. Ignore the good plays and the good things. Bemoan how bad it's made your life while seemingly enjoying the difficulty of the present with asinine posts.
Lines are firmly drawn. DO NOT get on our wagon when we get traction.
As for the rest, you're appreciated as fans but even more so as humans. The pain of losing is temporary. The acts of trolling is permanent.
Good day all! Love my Hogs today as much as anyone.

we will not beat either Mississippi team, toss up games with LSU and Mizzou...UAB is a gimme, trouble is going to be keeping focus after so many losses...
I guess I live in fairy tale land, but it feels to me like we have an upset in us this year. I feel like we're more likely to upset Ole Miss in Fayetteville so that's why I'm projecting that as an upset
And UAB should be a gimme...emphasis on should because they are a better team than they were. Other than that, there are no other surefire victories.

I agree with you but I'm afraid we missed two upset chances already.
Last week Alabama was begging us to beat them. They just don't know ... yet.. how to take advantage of the breaks we are given.
Next season is what the Hogs need to use the next games for. The UAB game is winnable. LSU, Mizzou are toss ups. Ole Miss and MSU are grown men SEC teams that the Hogs will not beat. Basketball season is almost here for UA.

IDK but they went bowling
Finished 7-6 with a bowl win
I think they were 4-6 coming into WMS, beat us in OT, and won the egg bowl a week later to get bowl eligible.

Not my prediction, but If I had to pick one, Mizzou possibly LSU, just because of our past history of upsetting them in the unlikeliest of years...
Beating LSU won't be an upset!
At this point, whoever the hogs beat in the SEC will be an upset! WE are 0-and counting!

Yes it would be. These LSU folks down here are talking smack about keeping the Hogs on their losing streak.
Yeah, it'd be an upset. Naturally if they're ranked, but more importantly, the fact that they are generally suppose to win. They aren't the ones staring at a long losing streak within the conference.

lower bowl actually was full. Upper corner on both side, the students(behind band) and the UAB section sparse,
Crowd very late to their seats and most left at halftime.
All in all, not that bad a crowd even though it was the lowest since 2007
What was the actual number, BG?
Funny how the typical posters fail to show up on a thread when we win.

61,800, probably around 58,000 butts in seats at one time. Lots of late comers and early goers.
I saw some Razorback Tiffany stained glass lamps being made yesterday. The guy I have been traveling with all week has been wearing some kind of Kappa Dad shirt with a funky little hog on it. Dang if the Hogs played UAB every week they would be undefeated.
4-4. Now it gets interesting.

Bentonville couldn't beat anybody out of state this year, you may have to pick another team.
Ok how about PA. Im with vinny, we are supposed to beat uab, nichols state, NIU and Louisiana school for the blind type schools. Impress me by winning an sec game. You know if we lose the next one we will tie kentucky's sec losing streak. Gosh, i hope we dont go over 17 and have the modern era sec losing streak record

Yep, and we beat them. We couldn't impress you if we won 17 in a row, you'd find some reason to complain.
Yep, and we could lose 50 in a row and you would still wear the rose colored glasses. Besides, nowhere in my post was a complaint. I do see improvement over the past two years though. We didnt lose to those type of schools

No, first time this year there wasn't a complaint. I'm not happy with the losses, but we aren't going to change coaches and don't need to. If we struggle next year, then criticism will be legitimate.

With all the grief that the University was trying to lash out towards War Memorial for not being sold out the day before the Georgia game, it was very underwhelming to see all of the empty seats at Reynolds...especially since they were literally giving away tickets over the past few days.

61,800 in attendance today, and they weren't a top 10 team. Now attendance was disappointing, but that's more to the opponent and lack of recent success.

Lower bowl holds 51,000, the upper decks hold 6000 each, while the club seats hold 9000. It wasn't too far off the mark. The west upper deck was 75% full, the East 20-25%, the lower and club seats were 85%.

Interested bystander here..... not a fan of so called, bought games, counting towards any kind of stat or bowl game qualification. Having said that - what I like is the style in which they won the game. Hogs look like they are enjoying being Hogs. Biliema's post game interview - "if you're a lineman, come to Arkansas, we'll make you famous". He's making - being a Razorback - attractive to recruits. And that's the bottom line! Congratulations.

Well the problem with that - so are other SEC West Teams. The SEC West is competitive this year because the top teams are down, while reloading. Arkansas is 2 yrs away from going 8-4, simply because of LSU, A&M, Auburn, Alabama, having top 5 recruiting. While Arkansas is building a promising program, other programs are building bigger, stronger, faster teams. IMHO

Yep, he's the lone reason for the defeats......
Never said he was the lone reason. Not once. He had a decent game yesterday. I'm glad. He needs to. I have a problem with his inaccurate throwing ability and his inability to handle pressure. Not much pressure yesterday. Still had some inaccurate throws. Not as many. Maybe he's turned the corner. We shall see Saturday. Oh, and I had one playing peewee football yesterday, so I didn't get to watch the game until later. Or I would've complained about the stupidity on special teams which is another glaring weakness.
Thanks for calling me out though Valley. Because I'm the one down on the Hogs. LOL. I want BA to mature and be able to handle pressure and not sail passes to wide open targets. Hope he has fixed that come Saturday.

Mature critique is fine - what I have a problem with is you dominating the board, during a game, with 10 back to back to back same negative Allen post. There is no need for you to re-post, what every one see's, over and over and over. In the last few years, the quality of FF football discussion has dropped - with new volume posters replacing long time quality posters. Maybe you've turned the corner. We shall see next Saturday.
The passing game should be vastly improved next year for sure. Arkansas is most definitely ahead of schedule. I like what coach B has got going.
Once again, that was all posted during the game. As things happened no less. But thanks for hanging onto that, and feeling it necessary to call me out for it. He screwed up royally that game. He didn't this game. I am not bashing him just for the sake of bashing. I usually don't even post on this thread. You, however, are on here nonstop.

i hope you are not referring to me...I have not attacked anyone. I just pointed out the FACT that we beat UAB...when we beat someone that is relevant then that will be the step in the right direction we are looking for. Two years and we should be competing vey well with the Bamas and Auburns...until then it is what it is...
Good win by the Hogs ! It was UAB and the Hogs are SUPPOSED to win this game. Its the only reason this game was played. They didn't lose and thats the good thing. As far as judging their play against inferior talent is like watching Bentonville play Bauxite. You're 3 levels better than the team in front of you. How are you against teams equal to you ? So you really can't judge individual or team play against rent a win teams. They could've played UAPB and the results would be the same as this UAB game.
I'm glad the Hogs enjoyed it though. O-Linemen playing Qb & throwing TDs has to be fun ! I can't wait for the O- Linemen double reverse or hook and lateral !

Yeah, surely everyone, other offers/recruiting experts, couldn't be that wrong?? As you said, good inside state class with a bunch of kids that should contribute in a couple of years.
It all starts with recruiting. We need depth. We will be a veteran team next year if we can keep it intact.

Bielema's most important recruit may be getting JWill to come back. I don't think he'll be a high draft choice as RB's don't have the value as in the past, but there also isn't much shelf life for them either.
BB had a good history of keeping his running backs through their senior years if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, should have beaten them, and it's always amazing that the only reason it was close was because they were looking ahead. Why would they be looking ahead, were they looking ahead when they lost to Ole Miss??
The bigger problem is the Hogs never beats Bama when they're really good. Its a trend the UA has been trying to break for over 30 years. What's the biggest win for Arkansas since the 78 Oklahoma win ? Beating LSU in Baton Rouge in 07 I suppose. Other than that it's been the Florida losses, we NEVER beat them even in their down years. The Miami's, Georgia's and Bama's of the football world always find a way to beat the Hogs. Sad but true....

Yes, should have beaten them, and it's always amazing that the only reason it was close was because they were looking ahead. Why would they be looking ahead, were they looking ahead when they lost to Ole Miss??
no, Ole Miss is actually good...
Mississippi St. is up next. Hogs have a chance to beat the #1 team in the nation on the road. Do they win ? Almost win or get floor stomped in Starkville ?

Yes to all three, but don't worry, if it's close, it's only because they are overlooking us.
If they play like they did Saturday, minus the special teams crap of course, they should be in the game

Hopefully Toliver is back, and especially Ellis. Prescott is going to get some yards, just need to make him pay for them.
Hogs passing game has to keep MSU honest on defense. If not, BLT & Ham sandwiches will be served early !

Very true. I know I am fully behind coach and the direction he is leading this team.
I got a solid negative reservation about one of the recruits. But otherwise I think we are locking down in state folks.
Yeah, surely everyone, other offers/recruiting experts, couldn't be that wrong?? As you said, good inside state class with a bunch of kids that should contribute in a couple of years.
I think this was sarcasm but you never know. I'm with AW on this one, I've seen him play about 5 times in person. Looks the part but doesn't look interested in playing unless his number is called.
Historically when Arkansas has had their best teams - what's the ratio of In-state vs Out-of-state starters? Just thinking back in the day when UAF was referred to as UTF.

University of Tennessee at Fayetteville. Those were some good classes. Lots of volunteers on the roster then, just walkin' on and thumpin' heads.
Arkansas has 16 commitments...does anyone have a list of them, where they are from and what their rating is?
http://arkansas.247sports.com/Season/2015-Football/Commits
You can also add Josh Allen from Jax Florida. He was a 2014 commit to UNC and didn't qualify, he has already been accepted to Arkansas and will enroll in January. Most services don't list him since he was a 2014 guy, Scout has him listed.

Yeah, unfortunately it's 9th in the SEC I believe. We may move up 1 or two spots as we get our last 8 guys, but it's as tough in recruiting as it is on the field.
Not that it's something to hang your hat on, but Vegas thinks a lot of the Hogs. You can see it in their point spreads each week. These guys know their stuff and continue to give the Hogs a ton or respect when you consider their record as of late.
Take this week, we are only 10.5 point underdogs on the road vs. the #1 team in the country????
I mean good grief. The average person would look at that and think that was about 50% of what it should be.
As much as the haters hate, I have to admit, we're not on of the top ten teams in the country. But, I seriously believe that we are one of the top twenty five or so. And, to make it back here from where we were two years ago is incredible. Due to the timing of our implosion and the fact that we choose to play in the strongest division in the strongest conference of football, our true value cannot be seen by some. I've only seen us play two bad halves of football this year. That's less than I can ever remember. We appear to be headed in the right direction, to a place where we haven't been too often. Being able to go toe to toe with anyone in the country. I'm not reaching out for moral victories. I'm watching a program on the rise. As we continue to grow and do things right, the ball will bounce our way. I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen this week. WPS!
Yep. It's much easier to show the required patience when you respect everything about the process and the consistency in its path.

Really? MARSHALL is a better team than us? Look at who's in the poll before you say that
Apparently so - hello they're undefeated!
Two questions:
1. Do you truly believe they'd beat any of the teams we've lost to?
2. Do you truly believe they'd beat us?
If feelings were relevant in sports, how many Top 25 teams do you reckon we'd have?

This is a great place to leave it - Arkansas has built an impressive foundation!
As much as I love the Razorbacks, we are not a Top 25 team. And for those who think otherwise, you've got to be realistic while being a fan. Are we a decent team, yes. Even if we beat Mississippi State, we still wouldn't crack the Top 25. But that's just how it is. A die-hard fan is a die-hard fan, but you've got to be real about it. There are teams outside the Top 25 that are better than us.

I'm not sold they are a better team than the Hogs, but they do have a MUCH better QB for what it's worth. They've played a weak schedule this year, but they are solid.
That being said, I think the Razorbacks are a good team, but their most impressive performance was the 14-13 loss to Alabama. They should have beaten A&M, but they aren't looking very good now. Georgia killed them and Auburn killed them in the second half. Nicholls State is terrible and Texas Tech is not much better this year I'm afraid. The 52-14 win over Northern Illinois doesn't look like much to most casual fans, but they are a good program year in and year out and I'm surprised they beat them so soundly. UAB is better than in the past as well, but still a program that has been down for a while.
My observations on the Razorbacks from the couple of times I've watched them are that they have a fantastic running game and you have the linemen to use that attack. You've also got some weapons at TE, but not really at WR. QB play is key here though because I just don't think he's very good. With their running game it should be so much easier for him to make plays in the passing game, but he doesn't do it consistently, which makes your weapons at TE null and void. Maybe some of it is the WR's, but I feel like Allen wouldn't be much better with superstars at WR. Honestly, he looks like he'd be a good FCS QB. The problem arises where Arkansas HAS to take a lead to be successful for their style to work. They just can't come from behind very effectively against a good defense. But if they take a lead or keep it within one possession they are dangerous. Their defense still leaves alot to be desired. It just isn't very good, but there are a few playmakers that allow them to play over their head at times. Special teams hasn't been very good from the little I've seen and from what I've seen posted.
You can take my view as biased because I'm an A-State fan if you like, but that's just what I've seen and I have admittedly only seen about a half of two different games and some highlights here and there. I do think they have a good chance to beat LSU and Missouri. I'm not sold on LSU even with their win and Mizzou isn't anything special. I think they have a shot at Ole Miss too because I haven't been completely sold on them either. I do think Mississippi State is the real deal though. All you have to get is two to go bowling. Try to get that and then I'd expect to land in the top-25 next year.

Hogs will have a harder time scoring on Ole Miss (4-2-5 Def), than Miss St, they gets to the ball and make tackles.
I'm not saying we should be in the top 25. I'm saying that we are one of the 25 best teams
I said this a couple of weeks ago. If we played in the big ten we would end up with 8 wins but thats still not top 25 material. Heck there are 11 or 12 teams better than us in the sec alone
I have 7 better than us in the SEC
Lolololol...you know people on here gripe about some of us saying we are not fans because we criticize the team at times...so I guess to be a fan you have to believe we are a top twenty five team...lol...

It's just silly to have unrealistic expectations. Criticizing everything and going all chicken little is just a poor attitude to have and serves no purpose. There are actually other measures besides winning every game. Always the ultimate goal. Not always the end of the world when it doesn't happen.
And, no. 8-4 would probably mean that we are one of the twenty five best teams in the country. If all four of the losses were to teams that make the playoffs, there might even be an argument for top ten.

I see what you're saying...and there are times I agree with you. We had a horrible first half against Georgia. Might've beaten them if we had shown up mentally. Should've beaten two other top 10 teams. I think the argument can definately be made that we are one of the top 25 teams in the country. Obviously we aren't poll worthy because of the record. But they have proven they can go toe to toe with anyone.

we are not one of the twenty five best teams in the country...that is laughable at best. Have we improved over last year? Absolutely! But we are two years away from being a formidable opponent week in and week out...
Ask the coaches who beat us this year. Pretty formidable opponent now.
like you I don't know the coaches of the other teams...so do we really know what they think? Coach speak happens after every game...

I have not brought up the Tigers much on here but the have improved from the absolutely worse team in America to a top 50 team in 2 years. Coaching matters.

Anyone can beat anyone, but the probabilities aren't high in most cases.
I have no problem thinking the hogs are a top 10 four loss team in the country.
The very best four loss team in America. ;)

If we were in any conference other than the SEC West in any other year than 2014 you'd be singing a different tune. If we were ie in the Big 12 (that has only 10 teams) and were 7-1 what song would you be singing? The Big 10 (that has 12 teams) and were 8-0 you'd be singing the alma mater at work.

"We're the best 4 loss team in America" - "if we didn't play in the SEC West" - stop it! Just stop it now! ;D. Once again - this year (2014) is the year for Arkansas to play LSU, A&M, Alabama, Auburn. It's unfortunate that Arkansas wasn't ready to take advantage, of this opportunity, like Top Tear SEC West Programs such as Ole Miss and Miss State have. lol
If we lose saturday, will we be the best 5 loss team in america? Come on guys this is getting ridiculous
If we can get six wins then I would be happy. I would love to go to a bowl.
The possibility of being 4-8 at seasons end could be real, very real. IF, we are 4-8, will we still be top twenty five material?
Think about it guys, our only wins are against UAB (4-4), Texas Tech (3-5), Nichols State (0-9) and Northern Illinois (6-2). That's pretty darn impressive! Yep, no doubt we are top twenty five...lol...
Come on Man! ;D
Good try, but we'll definitely beat Missouri. Good effort at trolling, though
They pass well and thats our weakness defensivly. I do see it as our best chance, though I'm not penciling in any guarantee
Nobody is bragging or hanging their hat on the four losses.
Vinny, you say we're a bad team. Okay, how bad are we? Obviously not an upper tier SEC or SEC West team. Some of us are just trying to figure out how good that upper tier is. We were really bad last year. I see a tremendous improvement. I don't think really bad teams are capable of playing upper tier teams the way we have. We've beaten the brakes off of bad teams and one who was supposed to be decent. I think that we have a good team. How good? Obviously, not good enough. But, they are headed in the right direction.
Will we be a much worse team if we don't go beat the #1 team at home? That seems harsh for such an unrealistic expectation.
I don't think the Hogs stink but the Georgia game left me wandering if they really have improved much since last year.
Last year the Hogs would of been 4-4 right now if Allen would not of been hurt.
The Hogs need to win one of the next 4 for me to admit they have improved over last year.

Agreed wholeheartedly with what Vinny is saying. Bashing the Hogs is not what it's about. It's about being realistic about things and where we are. We're a decent team at best, but just because we played fairly well in two of our four losses doesn't mean we're a Top 25 club. In that case, LSU should be considered a Top 10 squad because both of their two losses were to top 5 teams. With that said, just a few weeks ago, fans were penciling in the LSU as a victory because they barely beat Florida. The fact is that we're better than we were last year, and that's that. That much is very evident. But we're not a Top 25 team at all. You can't be considered a ranked team based on shouldas or couldas. We can look good against one team, then look completely mediocre against another.

Not arguing with your logic. But, other than the unbeatens, everybody else is ranked on shouldas and couldas. Wait, that comes into play with the unbeatens as well. If it was purely wins and loses, it would be easy. I happen to believe that, RIGHT NOW, we would break even if we played the bottom six or eight "ranked" teams. We won't and will never really know. But, I have a hard time believing that we aren't better than most.
Also, I don't mean by any of my posts that I believe that we deserve to be ranked. With opinion polls, you have to win. I get that. Just saying where I think we fit in the big picture. Just my opinion. ;D

Most recruiting services will only rank your top 25 guys, so I'm not sure Miss St will stay that high, but just proves how tough it is in the SEC.
12th man, TF, Optimistic Cheer Leaders - y'all bout done? Everyone appreciates the direction (180 turn around) in which the Hogs are going. What's the point in quantifying and ranking where the team should really be? Keep it real........
So what we (Hogs) have this week? - Miss State 4-3 Def, strong linebackers & def ends, rotates front line. Might have some success if receiver's can catch BA's passes from the start. I hate to say it, but with Miss State rotating defensive line - 2nd half - last quarter, might be the difference when BA is scrambling to keep from getting sacked. Arkansas Defense has a long day in front of em. Same as always - maybe Arkansas can get an early lead, then run the clock down, while letting the defense have a reasonable amount of time off the field.
Not really any different than any other week in the SEC, we'll need to have some balance. Their weakness is their secondary, will we exploit it? Of course, if we try to, they'll be plenty who will say we abandoned the run game too quick. Basically, when you're losing, they'll find fault with whichever one is handy.

Most recruiting services will only rank your top 25 guys, so I'm not sure Miss St will stay that high, but just proves how tough it is in the SEC.
Y'all realize that that list is alphabetical, right? ;D
You do realize they put the recruiting rankings in there?

No Valley. The poor, hapless, cellar dwelling, SEC winless, unable to finish, d2 qb'd, incompetently coached, feeble excuse for a team is the underdog.

You're just one extreme to the other aren't you? When Arkansas can play 4 qtrs, as well as they do 2-3, then they'll be a good team. Now just back your feelings out and be patient. lol Hoping for a great game today!
#HailState.

Me? Bipolar?, D
Just clarifying that the Hogs aren't favored today and probably shouldn't be in any remaining.
I thought it was the kiss of death when all of the experts picked them over Georgia.
I'd like to see them put together four quarters today. But, even if they win, it won't change where I think they are in the overall picture.
Hearing the wind is gusting to 20 mph :(

Went back and watched that fake, the WR tripped.
Still a bad throw. Good one on the 3rd down that touchdown drive.
Seem few and far between though. He sure does make my belly hurt.

Time to punch it in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The SEC needs to enforce the no cow bell during plays rule
Dear lord Really!
Time to answer the call.
That was truly pathetic. How on Earth does that happen?
89 was being grabbed on the TD throw
F@#$ing SEC refs
Let's be an SEC QB right now!!!
I've been pleasantly surprised by our defense this year but we are looking like I expected earlier this year. #1 or not, dang.
Hunter Henry has pro bowl written all over him.
pass to hunter henry
Sigh......
stupid stupid call. idiotic call. Up the gut on 4th and goal.
That shows no faith in passing game to make a proper read.
Well another missed call
You just throw it up to hunter henry and it is a TD. I could throw it. No read.
Quote from: BrianfromCarlisle on November 01, 2014, 09:05:19 pm

We ran the HB pass TWICE with Mitchell tonight !!!!
Too bad we used a 350 lbs lineman to trick uab. That play might have worked there. Bad coaching imho to show your hand running up the score against inferior opponents When it could have been used as a game saver
Had the Razor Pigs kicked a field goal on the last drive. They could potentially be on a game winning drive.
Lol
Thank god for henry
How about keep throwing the ball to Hunter Henry... nope. Interception
Well, he didnt overthrow that one. So theres improvement
THANK YOU

Just under threw it.
Yet again, with the game on the line, Brandon Allen makes a bad throw that is intercepted.
Yank the scholarship and show him the door, immediately. He does not have what it takes to play QB in this league, and given his body of work, never will.
Nice game.......0-17.
We always come so close but can never pull it off! It's so frustrating! Why that was the play that was called I don't know! I would've went to Henry again!
Just wait for it....here comes the excuses for his inability to make an IMPORTANT play. He will never ever ever do it. That was just bad. HENRY is the man to throw to in crunch time.
Henry is the man!!!
I don't think I can handle another year with Chaney as OC.
Looked to me like a lot of blame to throw around. Allen ain't the man, but his receivers hurt him also. Dunno if it's the scheme or players but our secondary looked lost tonight.
We are real close. But if you want close, by a freaking monkey!! Fix the bad secondary. Allow a true freshman to start next year if he is better. Just please don't let BA start simply because he is a senior. Make him earn it!!
At least he is a senior so only one more year! Im an optimist
I understand the criticism for Allen, but he's simply not the biggest problem we have. There's only so much you can do as a quarterback when you have only one reliable tight end and not one playmaking receiver in the bunch.

Hard to catch when your QB is inaccurate on around half his throws.
At least gus won again...
Screw Gus
Vomiting.
That is all.
I don't fully blame Allen (even though he isn't clutch and reminds me of a certain quarterback I know personally) the defense gave up the final touchdown by leaving a guy WIDE OPEN! My grandma could've caught that pass! But I'm happy with our overall performance! We will win an SEC game this year! Just wait on it! We will go bowling! I'm confident! Next year we will be more prepared for these situations! I love my Hogs!
The thing about that pass was.....dak didnt try to lead him and overthrow the ball. He was wide open so he played pitch and catch. Simple basic football
If we would have scored on that last drive I would have gone for 2 and the win. If I was Bielema, I just wouldn't trust my offense to come through in overtime.

I just can't stand losing to teams that weren't better. Hogs should be 7-2 right now. Only 2 teams were better on game day. And for the QB crybabies , where would State be without their QB? He is amazing on 3rd down. BA is generally average at absolute best. He is as good at telegraphing as Alexander Graham Bell was

All BB wants to be or do is smash mouth football. All Chaney wants to do is throw it around the yard. More than anything, this team is lacking an identity. That has to be corrected before this team can even begin to think about winning a conference game and going bowling. It doesn't matter how good or bad the players are if the coaches can't develop and stick to a game plan that fits the personnel that they have assembled.
bump
The hogs have several problems right now...BA is one of them but there are several others as well...
1. Chaney is an awful play caller. He makes some very dumb decisions...
2. Henry is the best receiver we have...
3. BA doesn't have the best receivers however I don't care if you are Dez Bryant if the ball lands ten feet in front of you or thrown 10 feet over your head you can't catch it...
4. Defense has played well but choke in crunch time...
5. Special teams are not very good...

That sums it up perfectly! As for BA, if he's not over or underthrowing it, he's literally staring down his receivers and that's something that every team, everyone realizes. No second or third reads, just the one he's locked on. The pass to Henry where he appeared to look off with a pump fake was a design play call. But again, he's not the only issue. We have a lot of them. Losing 17 league games in a row is a mark that no one appreciates or wants to be associated with.

It's really hard to say to be honest. I think it may be the case of both. Opponents see that the Hogs haven't won an SEC game since 2012 and warn their teams against a letdown. But at the same time, we're a decent team that's capable of winning games. But it's sometimes hard to tell kids to look past a team's record.

The Hogs is a trap game for most everybody.
A bit of overlooking. A bit of the Hogs are better than they look. Dak not being 100% made a huge difference in tonights game. He ran the ball well on one drive, and we scored the 1st td on that drive. He's a difference maker.
Well, it didn't help when you play a cover 3 and one guy doesn't get the call, good escape by Prescott to hit the wide open receiver. Our defense played well enough to win, got to score more than 10 to win.
ATU you still haven't offered any valuable insight. Striking out here. I don't care what your problem is with me or the Charleston program or the Hogs or whatever, just stop with the constant attacking
The hogs played good enough to win.i don't no why they can't get over the hump.That's 3 games they lost in the 4th.There was some bad play calling.So it is not all BA fault.The hogs deserve better.
I thought it was a great game. Number one team in the country and on their field. Very proud of the team, very pleased with the direction we are heading. I personally thought it was Allens best game against the best defense hes seen. You can tell the players still have plenty of fight in them and don't quit. We went toe to toe with the Number 1 team in the country. And even had some fight left after the game too.
Disagree with one point Moonshiner. I thought Bama had a better defense

Learn the definition of troll before you call me one. I'm just trying to generate quality conversation which is why I sometimes call out your posts on the 3A board. I just took offense to you blatantly calling me out down here when I hadn't said a thing about this particular game. Sounds like it's someone besides me trolling
My comment was to moonshiners about them having the best defense weve seen. Dont try to change the argument
This is from someone that calls people trolls on here all the time just give it up mao'.
You two take it to pm. This is your last warning
My thoughts on the game:
Mississippi State is a good team and we went toe to toe with them. I joked about moral victories after things happened such as us winning the coin toss, but the truth is I'm tired of moral victories. I'm ready for real victories, and we're so close that I can taste it. We will get over the hump sometime and I'm confident that it will be this season
MSU is not the best team we have faced IMO...I think teams play down to us a bit. I also think that CBB gets his teams fired up to play which is a credit to him. I think we also catch teams at good times for us where they may be looking ahead a bit. We need an OC, a QB and some WRs and we would be a great team. Chaney doesn't put BA in the best situations. Every time he rolls BA out it is a disaster. Put the kid in situations that play to his strengths. Play action is best suited for this team with the strength of our running game. Henry needs to be involved more also. Drew Morgan made a bonehead play tonight with the unsportsmanlike penalty at a crucial time. I just hope the kids hang in there and continue to play hard...been a tough season...

Texas Tech has won 3 games this year - lost to TCU by 80 something points - got punked by a 4 win Texas Longhorn Team last night. Not really a credible win for an SEC Team.
I don't know about LSU, HH - too bad Arkansas couldn't have played them earlier in the year. High dollar recruits are improving fast. Actually Arkansas is improving ahead of schedule, still have a lot of work and recruiting to do though. I do think they'll all be great games!

Ahhhh, didn't know I was dealing with the Guru...lol...I know when a team wins by one (math is pretty easy) and I under stand what OT is...and I do know that Coach Speak is sunshine pumping...
Not everybody is all gloom and doom like you Vinny. Sometimes, people mean it when they say nice things. ;D
Yea, even coaches. :)
At least, real coaches. ;)
Especially, real coaches with class. 8)
lololol...TF, I am not all gloom and doom...I am more of a realist...I want us to be good and I think we will be in a couple of years but right now we just plain are not any good. We are not a top twenty five team...
If we were in any conference other than the SEC West in any other year than 2014 you'd be singing a different tune. If we were ie in the Big 12 (that has only 10 teams) and were 7-1 what song would you be singing? The Big 10 (that has 12 teams) and were 8-0 you'd be singing the alma mater at work.
Mother of mothers, we sing unto you *pointing to Old Main*
My questions are, do we have any Qb's who can compete for the job ? Why did the Hogs run the Halfback pass twice with #7 Mitchell ? Are there anymore WR's besides Hatcher who can get open ? Why can't the O-Line make a first down or score on 4th and 1 ?
Mitchell is a converted quarterback. Only ran the halfback pass once, the other time was a pass out of the wildcat
Quote from: 12th Man CHS on November 03, 2014, 08:02:54 am

No, he was going to throw it another time but took off for a first down gain. it was the same exact play
No because on the first one he took a pitch and the second time he took a direct snap
I'd like to see the other Qb's play. I mean at 3-5 what do you have to LOSE ? How else are you going to groom your backup when you dont have any mop up games. Ive seen pretty much all of Brandon Allens body of work. Does his brother have more to offer ? Heck can the Halfback pass guy #7 Mitchell actually play Qb ? This goes for DB's LB's and other positions too. Hogs have to find some game changers !!

Duwop Mitchell was a QB in high school, and Austin is no better than Brandon. Rafe Peavey has had less than 5 snaps this season, I think Bielema has to give someone a chance in practice to be better than Brandon. Brandon Allen is just not a winner, plain and simple.
You're right about Peavey because 0<5

ATU you still haven't offered any valuable insight. Striking out here. I don't care what your problem is with me or the Charleston program or the Hogs or whatever, just stop with the constant attacking
I don't need any valuable insight your the one attacking me every post i make and like i said don't post aftar me mao.i been pretty good so far about you cutting me down but not any more troll.
Learn the definition of troll before you call me one. I'm just trying to generate quality conversation which is why I sometimes call out your posts on the 3A board. I just took offense to you blatantly calling me out down here when I hadn't said a thing about this particular game. Sounds like it's someone besides me trolling
So what IS the definition of "troll"?

You're right about Peavey because 0<5
You have to develope players !!!!!
Well unless BB is pulling another HDN vs NWA I don't see why IF there is a QB that is better than BA on campus right now why he hasn't won the confidence of the coaches and given the opportunity? I've never seen Storey in person but on film...he has the arm and accuracy but can he deliver against a SEC defense? I'm not sure if he can adjust to the speed of the game quickly enough to start first game next season but he is FAR more talented than any QB on campus right now! But that is just one problem offensively. We got a lot of work to do with WR's! Hill should make the group better from day 1. Hatcher should get better the rest....with the type of offense we run I don't see why it's been so hard for the WR's to catch on so IMO it's because they were never SEC starting WR's in the first place. Not being able to attack the defense past 15 yards is the number one reason we struggle and the blame for that is both on the QB and WR's.
Keon Hatcher is a FANTASTIC #2 receiver. The issue is that we need him to be a #1
The thing is, there may be someone better than BA on the team, but for some reason, we'll never get a chance to know this year because of what I'm starting to view as BB's blind loyalty to BA. I find it hard to believe that none of our backups are worthy of a shot. At worst, both Peavy and Mitchell have the ability to improvise when a play breaks down. The thing that irks me about BA, aside from over and under throws, is the fact that he literally stares down his receiver and does not check down or look off to his other guys. Teams know that, which is why they don't respect the Hogs passing game whatsoever. Playcalling plays a part in that, too. But if you don't have at least the threat of a consistent passing attack that's going to keep teams honest, then what do you have? A one-dimensional team that's grasping for straws while surviving on the hope that they hit a few passes here and there to keep a few drives alive. That ain't gone get it done against good teams. BA's been a game manager all year, which is why his interceptions are down. He hasn't shown that he can win games or that he can make the plays late that put you in position to win. He is who he is. Hoghead said it best...we've seen what we're going to see out of him.
It's absurd to think they are playing players that they don't think give them the best chance to win. I marvel at the conspiracy theories invented to support that train of thought.
The sole exception is that have held some redshirts that should not be burned now.
Why is it so absurd to believe that? It happens. "So and so has been a great ambassador to the program, has been this, has been that..." BA may be the best option, but all we have to go on is what the coaches say. And yeah, they're in the business and you'd think they'd know more than we do, but they aren't always 100% on point. Jack Crowe said Gary Adams gave them the best chance to win games in 1991 but that turned out bad. By game 4 or 5, Adams was switched to the defensive side of the ball. Look at Robert Johnson in 2006. Nutt said the same thing, "he gives us the best chance to win." So it happens.

BG, I don't think it is a conspiracy theory at all. I just marvel at CBB not trying different things to see what may happen. Not just at QB, but at several positions...You can't name me a coach that continues to lose that doesn't try and shake things up a bit...

Good point. A few weeks ago, Bielema started/played several freshman on defense because he wanted to change things up a bit. At this point in the season, it definitely couldn't hurt.

Yep, he sure did...but at the most important position on the field, the guy that gets the most touches he won't do it...give AA a chance...kid is suppose to have a cannon arm...
you know what it may be...just now thought of this...maybe CBB is the type of guy that is stubborn and not willing to listen to anyone else about change. He has probably heard this so much that he just doesn't want to give in to the fans...HDN syndrome...you...never...know...
Now BG...there is a conspiracy theory...you have to give me an A+ on that one for originality alone...lol...

Ah, the backup QB, the best player on the team.
Well I saw the fall scrimmage preseason and got a chance to look at the backup Qb's in action....NO LIE at times I couldn't tell them apart. They all had the same problem. Staring down receivers, not seeing the field and holding the ball too long! So it's probably a case where BA is like the valedictorian of summer school....he's the best of what we got and his backups have not proved otherwise. All I can say is that based on what I saw at the beginning of the fall...we couldn't win with the backups either!

The Hogs best chance to win comes with the game management BA gives them. People are all out for a win, but getting so close so often has seem to confuse some of them. They now seem to want to chuck the possibility of a win to the curb in search of a backseat driver whim.
It's humorous in a way. For a group so hung up that it's all about the QB, they are quick to compare it other position switches. Either you think the QB is the most important or you don't. I know it sure leads the way in the blame game. I guess that's why there are so many that know it's all just "politics" that determine the thing.
It's pretty funny that people think a coach would play favorites at such a position. This is a whole new staff with no connections to prior staff. Coach Allen is no longer even a coach. If there was a conspiracy then Derby would be QB since his dad is an old family friend of BB's.

no...Derby plays TE now...QB is the most important position. End of story...most touches, supposed to control the game from the offensive end. We have tried the game management with BA...why not let someone else try. Maybe AA won't choke in crunch time...you never know until you try...
But what is really humorous is people that equate a close loss to a win...the ole moral victory!
I'm amazed at the conspiracy theorist ;D. Coaches job is on the line, but he's not going to play the best players because of politics. lol. Silly Hogs Fans! As much as some of you are disenchanted with the Hog Program, I don't see why you wouldn't change teams. Especially Southern Arkansas Fans, who don't have any connection with the school. You plan on being frustrated and dissatisfied the rest of your life? It is what it is.....
Losers accept losing and give winners grief for calling them losers. Winners keep losers in their place.
I'd call Saban a winner. He's had to accept some losing lately. Doesn't mean he likes it though. But winners accept it too.

I have to say that the surprise this game is the play of BA. He has played a near flawless game. Maybe this win will break the hogs through. I sure hope so, but not holding my breath just yet...

Now let's go get a bowl bid!
17 game streak ended by the score of 17-0 to #17 LSU.
We've gone through the Petrino scandal, John L. Smith, and 17 consecutive SEC losses. It feels good to have something to really smile about for once.
I have to admit...I was very impressed with BB tonight. He didn't let up, and kept the starters in on defense to secure the shut out. I hate it when coaches pull starters when there's a chance to pitch a shut out. Kudos to the hogs as a whole. Still not completely sold on BB. I guess we'll see what he does with ALL the talent that's coming next year. Does anyone think story will start next year?

I would hope not. Huge leap from 3A Arkansas HS football to starting for an SEC team. I would think a redshirt is in order.
Allen has shown steady improvement in my opinion. I can't imagine replacing a Veteran QB with a true Freshman.
I would have to agree...def a second year starter though

My wife and I had an amazing time. Great seats and experience. Best fayetteville crowd ive been a part of. Coax B has really revamped the music and the jumbotron 3rd down screens were great. My buddy asked us to come to more because we must have been the good luck charm ha. My wife and I were waving those red pom poms and dancing it up!
In all seriousness we played a complete game. 4 quarters. I was worried and I told my wife that lsu is 4 quarter team and we better finish them off. And we did. We looked like a dang good ball team.
The only negative imo were the terrible calls on us and missed calls on LSU. That crew is atrocious. The 3rd and 2 pass was mind boggling but it all worked out.
Impressive - great momentum to take into off season - swing some recruits!
AW, did you find time to go to Dickson St to listen to some Jack Johnson, maybe find you a Fayettechill shirt, or keep Fayetteville funky?? ;D
Glad you enjoyed the game, it should be electric again next weekend against Ole Siss.

We drove down Dickson. Laughed at all the tight jeans and "style glasses" wearers ha.
However we had a blast at the game!
Glad we could finally put four quarters together. LSU looked horrible offensively. I think our defense has improved a TON and probably had a lot to do with that. Will be interesting to see how the players respond emotionally after getting the monkey off of their backs. Hope there's not a let down.

Someone with a lot deeper pockets had already told Long he'd pay the fine with the excess money going to the Burl Kid's Foundation, it was taken care of.
And the studenta already had a plan, they avoided most of the security and hit the field from various exits away from the student section.

Actually heard an ASU fan mouthing yesterday how bad ASWho cares wiuld beat Arkansas this year. How cocky the little sisters are getting these days. Beat up on North South East West State University every weekend and all the sudden they are taking over. If Alabama, Mississippi State, and LSU can't beat us convincingly what would make anyone think that The College of Jonesboro could do it. Those silly people.
HAHA. Asu huh. Mouthing us? That is hilarious.
YES :) Yes ;D Yes 8) Yes ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Please let this happen.................................................
Please - Purty Please - The 2 teams that turned around the most in the nation this year matches up in a bowl game.
Note to self ---- We have not rushed the field after a conference win so we got to watch those crazy Hog fans.

Arkansas would absolutely crush Memphis.
^this
I really want the Bobby bowl, personally
Well, let's win one of the next two, to be sure we go to one.
My team is bowl eligible. Just waiting on you guys to beat little old Ole Miss and or Missouri. If you beat both of them I figure you will get a little better bowl than Birmingham.

What ever floats your boat.
I figure Marion will rush the field if they ever get a win over WM.
Well, that would be worthy, and it's pretty obvious what floats in your boat......
It would be a historic occasion since it has never happened before. Hey, 70,000 fans at the game was impressive. I was crossing fingers and toes you guys would win. I am ready for the cocky Razorback fans to come back to life they are more fun than the down and out ones I have been around the last few years. Most of my family was rubbing in the win last night to me ---- already making plans to be in the final 4 next year. =) Gotta love you guys.
We will be in the final 4 next year
This will not happen next year...maybe in 2 or 3 years a good chance...
The only thing that bothers me about the goal posts and the dumping of the water bucket...let's at least act like we have won before...this was not our first SEC win, this was our first SEC win under CBB...it wasn't long ago we played in a BCS game..."act like you have been there before"...

I went to XYZ.... but I have followed The Tigers since I was a baby. Even went to 3 Tiger football games last year when there wasn't 8,000 people there. Good football - Good time for around $30 bucks and you get to pick your seats. This year I only went to 1 --- too many folks started showing up.
Believe me - I will be wearing my blue in Birmingham if they get to play the Hogs.... If not the Hogs I will watch it on the tube.

Ok, I thought you just bandwagoned(sp), on their bb team, lol. I hope we make the Liberty Bowl personally, I'll risk a trip to drop by Central BBQ. We still have a mountain to climb, Old Myth has an offense, unlike LSU.
Beale St after the Liberty Bowl is always a blast. Though, it was frigid last year.

My aunt and uncle were big in the early days of getting the bowl game going and always had free tickets for me. I froze my butt off many a times going over there to watch it. It always seemed to coincide with an arctic outbreak.
I think they've got to treat this game as a must-win. Ole Miss will definitely approach it that way because they still have a shot at winning the SEC West...and an outside chance of getting into the playoff. A lot may be riding on that season finale at Mizzou (depending on whether or not they beat Tennessee).
If the Hogs win out and Texas wins out, look for the Indy Bowl to go full throttle to get them in Shreveport !
I hope that doesn't happen, as far as playing Texas. I for one would prefer to play someone else like a Nebraska, Miami or somebody. Not sure of the bowl tie-in but Big 12 wise, even a West Virginia or Okla. State. Texas could care less about Arkansas and views us as everything but a rival. It's always good to beat Texas, I get that. But would rather them play another name program.

Not at all. Hogs would win by 14+...just want to see them play someone else instead of our fans always yearning for Texas.

Yep
this year isn't over yet.
I don't know about final 4 for next year, but it's certainly not a stretch. We are just a few plays away from being 8-2 right now.
Another question will be how many of the Razorback Nation will continue being uber critical when we lose. I really wish some would go back and read some of their comments from earlier this year. Super silent now, but let us lose Saturday and they will come back out.
Some of the same people that were calling for Mike Andersons head last year in basketball. Bet they will be Super Fans this year.

There are incredibly ignorant optimistic fans.
There are incredibly ignorant troll pessimists.
The fact that the hogs are in contention to play in a bowl game after the past couple of years of turmoil thrills me. The fact that we are in a conference division that has 5 teams that have rotated out of the top 10 all year and we are in bowl contention is very satisfactory to me. Do I want more, yep. Will we get more, yep.
The dumpster fire all of you were enjoying having your hands warmed by all year and last year is no more than a small flame with ashes.

Neither have the silly fans - until now. I think everyone sat back and savored finally breaking that 17 loss streak. But the poster's you're calling trolls (reasonable fans) are still right here. Making it to the Final Four - Seriously? - a few plays from being 8-2? - C'mon....... ;D
Got some news - Arkansas will be better next year, but have a better chance of making the final 4 this year. Those teams you were a few plays from beating this year, will step up to a different level next year. So chill - enjoy the next 3 games - hope like heck Arkansas gets a lot more quality recruits.

So, those teams will be the only ones stepping up to another level?? I'm far from saying we'll be anywhere near the final four, but we'll win two more games than this year's team.
I'll even agree with that

Correct - not all teams have the resources to step up to another level, but obviously Arkansas is going to be 4 or 5 recruits better and exciting to watch. I'd guess they win 4 SEC games next year - but I thought they'd beat A&M, LSU, Missouri, and Ole Miss this year. A&M and LSU are back in the Top 10 next year - legit this time.

We'll see, we lose three starters on defense, a DE, LB, and safety. On offense, it an OT, C, TE, and WR. The C and WR will easily be replaced as they've been splitting time already.
Isn't Hunter Henry the starting TE? Derby's graduating I know but he's the backup.

We start two TE's, play with 3 a big percentage of the time.
Wow. I never realized we started two tight ends. I never look at the starting lineups though.

It depends on the formation, we even split them out at times.
Tell you something that surprises me - Bielema is running more of a balanced offense than I thought he would. If that commit out of NLR is ready to go and other receivers / TE's improve - looks like he'll pass even more. I was just thinking about that LSU game - BA played like an SEC QB - but that secondary was step for step on LSU's receivers. Big Atta Boy for the Hog Defense!

Those teams you were a few plays from beating this year, will step up to a different level next year. So chill - enjoy the next 3 games - hope like heck Arkansas gets a lot more quality recruits.
Valley I actually read that from an article somewhere. Can't take credit for it, but I do believe it. As should anyone. Texas A&M was almost a win. As were Alabama and Mississippi State. I believe 5 + 3 still equals 8 and 5-3 still equals 2. So it's not so silly.
Saying the Hogs will be in the Final Four or calling out realistic fans, because the thread is dead this week - is what I was referring to as silly. Like I said - it's unfortunate UAF didn't beat some of those young teams.

I really think you need to Google some depth charts and study them a little more. I've already shown you that aTm started more SRs than Arkansas, others did, too. Who else was young that we were suppose to beat, that we didn't?
Here, I saved you the trouble. You can find anyone's depth chart, updated weekly.

A&M is now one year into a team upgrade - 2 and 3 star being upgraded to 4 and 5 star. They start 6 Freshmen (offense/defense)? Arkansas starts 0 Freshman. A&M Seniors (only 2 more than Ark) rotate out. The 5 Seniors on Defense rotate with Freshmen / Sophomores - that's why they'll have 10 freshmen on the field at any given time. With the recruits, they have, coming in - they'll have some Freshmen starting next year as well. I'm just telling you what I see ricepig - just like I told you Kyle Allen (FR QB) would end up being the starter.
I've sure enjoyed watching Flowers - didn't realize Arkansas was losing 8 starters.

You think a fellow with nothing better to do now ;D, would actually look up something before saying it. aTm is replacing 2* and 3*, they already had some 4* playing. Read their recruiting history.vhttp://tamu.247sports.com/Season/2012-Football/Commits
Back to the Hog, it's going to be a tough test tomorrow, we still struggle some with spread teams, we need more speed at LB and in the secondary. The secret to this game is to force Bo into mistakes, and hit him hard.

Funny how that works.
Yeah Arkansas finally wins an SEC game...lol...12th man already has Arkansas in the final 4 next year...Funny how that works...
There are incredibly ignorant optimistic fans.
There are incredibly ignorant troll pessimists.
The fact that the hogs are in contention to play in a bowl game after the past couple of years of turmoil thrills me. The fact that we are in a conference division that has 5 teams that have rotated out of the top 10 all year and we are in bowl contention is very satisfactory to me. Do I want more, yep. Will we get more, yep.
The dumpster fire all of you were enjoying having your hands warmed by all year and last year is no more than a small flame with ashes.
WPS.
AW, all that is great, and I hope we win but we WILL NOt be in the final four next year like 12th man says...lol...that's all I was saying dude...
Good defensive stand...Flowers and Spaight will be missed next year...
Excellent play. Excellent throw. Excellent catch.
Why? Why a trick play when you are pounding them?
Agree just pound the rock and play action off of it
Gotta get this 6
Ole Miss is strong up front...good match up between our O-line and their D-line...
Yeah their d line is solid. Need to run something that doesn't require holding a block for so long

Yeah I see that now...looks like AA is coming in...
Battle of the backups...
Yeah knee to the back. Looks like AA until the half back ups for both teams
I'll take a 17-0 lead in a game that's probably about to turn into a defensive struggle.
Great pick by Mitchell!
Austin looking pretty good -
Got to throw that ball away
Wish they'd taken a shot into the endzone rather than try the FG. 24-0 at half would've broken Ole Miss's back.
Ain't that nice, our DC sent Bo some Flowers. ;D
Just noticed that Marshall is a no show. Did he earn a ticket out ?
AA is looking good. Our defense is what has played well though...
There is no question that during the CBB era the biggest improvement is the defense followed closely as the O-Line...

Wooooooooo Pig!!!!!!!
Defense. Defense. Defense. Whole new team it seems from last year. Wow. Took out two top ten teams in two weeks.
A sleeping giant has been awakened. Love coach B.
We got to work on goal line offense. That's 2 GL stands. 8 plays and we can't get a yard.
What will be the Troll excuse this week? I'm sure Ole Miss overlooked us right?
Yup. We need to push those in.
Pay Robb Smith Sam Pittman money.
Amen UI.
As far as not being able to punch it in, I think we are forgetting how stout the ole miss front 7 is.
The thug coming out in ole pee. You're losing!!!!!
Hope the sec loved beating up on Arkansas the past three years. BB has awakened a sleeping giant.

What happened to that Loctopus dude?
Hearing that some OM player shot Bielema the middle finger as they were going to the locker room.
I still can't believe we have shut out two top 10 teams and almost beat two number 1s. 37-0 the last two weeks ladies and Gents.
So, we won 20-0 you guys suck at play by play for someone hunting!
We're the first unranked team to pitch shutouts against ranked teams in back to back games
EVER!!!
30-0, cuckoo

C'mon Hog Fans - just enjoy the success and celebrate this new atmosphere. Tell you what - I just love good defense - that secondary has been so impressive the last two games. Mizzouri is not matched right for Arkansas - easy win to finish regular season. Arkansas has put the college football world on notice - impressive.

Arkansas has played well the last two weeks. It isn't like I want them to lose. Just because I call it like I see it when we play bad for not being a fan is your problem, not mine. I am not gonna praise the hogs when we play bad and call us top twenty five when we are 3-5...sorry.

Well, that's a tricky question rice. Sure CBB is gonna say that, and IMO yes it does matter after the top four especially for Arkansas right now. Once established, final four or nothing. There is no question this team has improved leaps and bounds...
I hate to so it - but my beloved SEC West was terribly over ranked this year. Who thinks Ole Miss was really #4, A&M #6, LSU #10?, Auburn? Well I've said it before - we just need to get this season over and hope we don't get embarrassed in the bowl games.
Vegas says Fl St vs Ark on a neutral field would be FSU at (-1.5) would be the favorite.
That's all you got to know.
Yes, the West is that strong. Some say because there are not two 10-0 teams that it's down. I look at it differently as all of them are bowl eligible.
Valley. Valley. Valley. We win two games that we weren't supposed to and now the top teams of the west are weak? Come on my man!
No if you'll look back to preseason - I said A&M and LSU shouldn't be ranked this year, also predicted the Hogs to beat both along with Ole Miss & Missouri. The SEC West doesn't have a Championship Team, like previously over the last decade. Remember earlier when every team, except Arkansas was ranked. Has every team been in the Top 10 at some point - now where are we?
For the first time in history all 6 teams from the SEC west are bowl eligible...nice...
Quote from: Coach Venny Slocombe on November 22, 2014, 11:01:28 pm

FIFY
You have some validity to your statements but lets not take away the fact that Arkansas dismantled LSU and ole miss. Barely lost to AU, tamu, and bama. Uga dismantled us. We we are a a few plays away from being a one loss team in the west. Oh well. This team was supposed to only win 4 games according to the pundits out there. And we have overcome. I'll take a 8 win season in year two of this regime who has been battling a massive dumpster fire since they have had th reigns.
Oh I don't mean to take anything away from Arkansas. Put aside your emotional attachment for a sec - how good would you personally rank the Ole Miss offense today? I mean really? Arkansas is playing lights out defense, but Ole Miss has been slipping by. Who beat them earlier? LSU? Is LSU really half as good as last year? No - we all know the Top Tier is not at their usual standard.
I can easily put away my emotional attachment to ole miss. I hate the team, the school, the state, and the people in it! Ha.
Now the sec may be down, but who is going to beat them? It's all won by defense. And their isn't a offense in the country that I think, even in this "down" year that will win the championship this year that isn't in the sec. I may be wrong.
We'll find out in the playoffs and bowl games if the SECw was weak, there's still a lot of football to be played. Valley, who would your final 4 be?
No need to guess who is the best this year. 4 team play-off. In the future there will be more teams added to the play-off field. It will be settled on the field.
I did not think from day one 2 SEC schools would be in the 4 team field. That would be stupid.

HA! Good catch! I'm SUPER stoked about this week's game for two reasons...
The Hogs now control Mizzou's SEC East fate (a fitting payback to the 2007-08 cotton bowl)
I'll actually be able to WATCH the game this year (instead of being on the road to a Big 12 game).

The other thing to look at is who some of these "over ranked" SEC West teams have beaten. LSU beat Wisconsin, Auburn beat K-State...
Congrats to the Hogs on their big win yesterday.
Please keep the current look.
That is all.

Quote from: Coach Venny SlocombeFor the first time in history all 6 teams from the SEC west are bowl eligible...nice...
Uhh... Venny?
Alabama
Arkansas
Auburn
LSU
Mississippi State
Ole Miss
Texas A&M
My math says 7 teams... ::sends you back to school:: ;)
Quote from: ValleysportsOh I don't mean to take anything away from Arkansas. Put aside your emotional attachment for a sec - how good would you personally rank the Ole Miss offense today? I mean really? Arkansas is playing lights out defense, but Ole Miss has been slipping by. Who beat them earlier? LSU? Is LSU really half as good as last year? No - we all know the Top Tier is not at their usual standard.
If I'm grading Ole Miss based off of yesterday's game alone, i would say they're comparable to the Razorbacks last year and the Hogs played like Alabama from 2010.
All that being said, everyone needs to head over to http://hogville.net and check out the main home page. :D
Yep my bad Douglas...looks like my math shook up your math...lol...

We'll find out in the playoffs and bowl games if the SECw was weak, there's still a lot of football to be played. Valley, who would your final 4 be?
Arkansas, Alabama, Miss St, Auburn

Can't argue with it.

Ole Miss 35 Boise State 13
Arkansas 30 Ole Miss 0

They've already played 11 basketball games? Does that include the loss to Christian Brothers, and was that to the college, or high school?
I could argue that Ole Miss should not be ranked. How do you get blanked 30-0 by an un ranked no name team and still stay in the top 20.

We wouldn't know lately, I hope to experience that again. I am surprised/impressed with their season, it's good to see them have some success in football. Who's the coach now?

It's called an Upset. Has happened to most teams this season. Gotta look at their entire body of work. But I'll agree, either we are the turnaround team of the century or these past 2 opponents have lost their mojo. At any rate....not our problem. We won.
I think we are the best 5 loss team in the country

I guess your another one...I guess your definition of a fan is someone who says everything they do is perfect regardless...I will always call it like I see it. We sucked at the first of the season...nobody can deny that...I have been Dallas Cowboy fan forever...still am after all their BS the last 18 years...nobody can question my loyalty. Make no mistake, when Arkansas plays bad I am gonna call it and when they play good I will give credit as they lay well...so...live with it...
You'll never get it. Generally, no one claims people are "not a fan" when they critique. That's more imagined by those who think BECAUSE they are a fan it gives them the carte blanche to spit and vomit all over everything associated with the team when it goes bad.
It's possible to analyze and suggest without being a total turd. It's possible to take higher ground and not ridicule everyone that tends to take a positive approach and recognizes the baby steps.
It's easy to see the two types.
Your problem on this board comes down to two things.
1) You cross the line on actual criticism on a regular basis of Hog players.
2) You seem to think NO ONE is allowed to see a half full glass without an innate need to jump them.
I, and many others, simply do not have to deal with it on this forum.
Now you can either:
1) Shut up on the matter and quit the crap when people choose to be happy OR
2) Continue on with the same attitude
Very simply, you've had your last warning and suspension. My promise is this is the last attempt that I will make at explaining the difference.
Get on board or get kicked off.
I suggest silence.

Good post BG +1.
I'm a little concerned about Arkansas's rushing attack the past few games. Our O-line doesn't seem to be getting that push they did earlier in the year. Good defensive play and Brandon Allen's efficiency on 3rd down has helped cover it up, but I hope they are able to impose their will on Mizzou more than the past few weeks.

Pressure off the Offense helps when the DEF is so golden.

Agreed. Surprised we don't do more fullback dives.
Teams know that we want to run it. I was shocked we didn't run a boot at least once down at the one

I think we need to spread a few guys out at times down there. When we pack everyone in, it allows the D to sellout at the LOS. At the goal line, it's usually low man wins, with the LBs and DBs coming over the top. We can't afford to miss out on opportunities like those. Thankfully, they didn't bite us Saturday.

They were coming so hard off the corners that it would have been questionable if we would have had time to fake and bootleg.
We need a good jumper. AC did it Sat and barely got it. I think they try to avoid the bootleg but from my amateur eyes it's obvious we don't have a lot of success on those carries.
I say Brooks Ellis for goal line work. :) Or Flowers.
Nice win...I feel better... ;)

Venny I'm sure you're feeling mighty lonely right now on this matter but you shouldn't be. Many, many others have said similar or even worse. But they've not been around much lately. Why?? Because there's been a little sunshine with the program. They'll be back though.

Bring it .... My personal opinion is that the Hogs just beat 2 teams that are down and out this year. (OM injuries to key players) LSU - Just is not very good. Beat up on a healthy Missouri at home and I will come around.
We need your support again, haha.
If you think that Memphis is better than LSU or Ole Miss then you're certifiably insane
What's funny is that if Arkansas had lost to LSU and Ole Miss, the narrative would've been, "Arkansas isn't ready to compete with them." "Arkansas isn't on their level."
But when Arkansas beats them, the narrative is "LSU and Ole Miss aren't very good." "injuries to key players." "they had no motivation."

Typical. You will never be able to please Arkansas fans. We could win a national title and there would be people griping about how we did it in some way or fashion.
It is like the two big mouth old men that I sat behind at RRS during the LSU game. Every play they would gripe and moan even if it was a first down. If we ran for a first down, they would be sure to point out how wide open someone would have been. If we passed for a first down then they would say that we would have had a great shot at scoring on the ground. If they did a play, one would go "oh boy I DO NOT LIKE THIS CALL" then bam first down..."OH MAN that was a great play call". I call those people idiots. People that know nothing of the game but to move the ball 10 yards at a time and score. That's it.

Nor were Bama or Miss St, it's obvious, the SEC is way down this year. The only good football is being played in the AAC, not the ACC, haha.

Forgive me, What's that mean?
Against the spread, I think.
Correct. Only games Hogs didn't beat the spread were Auburn and Georgia. Were tied at half at AU (should've been up 7) and had a terrible second quarter against Georgia.

no...Derby plays TE now...QB is the most important position. End of story...most touches, supposed to control the game from the offensive end. We have tried the game management with BA...why not let someone else try. Maybe AA won't choke in crunch time...you never know until you try...

I could have shown more, but my group is about to board. In fairness, there were several posts where you say the team has improved 180 %, but you still find some way for a left-handed compliment.

Moonshiner, that's the whole deal. I am happy they are doing good. I hope they win Saturday and I hope they win their bowl game. If it's close and I am not outta town I will be there. Not lonely at all...I will support the Razorbacks the way I want to support them, not the way someone else wants me to...I promise you this, I have been a Razorback fan longer than most on here...I just don't see everything through rose colored glasses...

They actually should have beaten UCLA earlier this year, as should have Virginia.
Memphis is 3-2 against the Hogs all time.
Ole Miss had their hands full with Memphis for a half. Then they pulled away.
If the Hogs win this weekend they will play a better opponent than someone like Memphis. If not I just assumed the match up be against Big Blue instead of a 6-6 middle of the pack team from the Big 12.

What's funny is that if Arkansas had lost to LSU and Ole Miss, the narrative would've been, "Arkansas isn't ready to compete with them." "Arkansas isn't on their level."
But when Arkansas beats them, the narrative is "LSU and Ole Miss aren't very good." "injuries to key players." "they had no motivation."
Nor were Bama or Miss St, it's obvious, the SEC is way down this year. The only good football is being played in the AAC, not the ACC, haha.
SEC West isn't down - Miss St & Ole Miss are having their best season's ever. Arkansas has exceeded everyone's expectations and is a team of destiny. However I'm not backing off my opinion that the Top Tier is down - LSU, Auburn, Bama, and even A&M. Predicted Arkansas to beat A&M, LSU, & Ole Miss, preseason. SEC East is certainly down - helping Missouri's record. Wouldn't it be something if Arkansas shut out Missouri?

Ole Siss is fixing to lose their 4th consecutive conference game, they beat Bama, that's it. aTm hasn't been upper tier yet, so I wouldn't include them. Now, MSU is having a nice season, but played absolutely no one in the non conference part of their schedule.
As far as shutting out Mizzou, I just hope for a 1pts win. We're better, but still have a lot of work to do.

I guess so is the only time the Hogs shared a National football championship ...... yet I think they just honored this sacred moment before a game this year. Talk about ancient history. and RP .... yea I know Memphis does not have one.

Well, Mizzou does have something to play for, a berth in Atlanta. Recruiting is going fine, I don't think a victory or loss will have a huge impact. Now, winning, and winning out would help for 2016 and beyond as they would be more than likely ranked.
Well now why couldn't you just go with my attempt to redirect the conversation? You know I'm going to disagree with the recruiting going just fine - ha ha. Don't make me explain about the peak, of working with what you have, again... Just fine for a good team - not a National Championship.

Arkansas has something to play for too; Bowl positioning. Much better to get a respectable bowl, especially if it's in an area we want to recruit heavily and could use exposure in. I'd much rather go to, say, the Texas Bowl in Houston than the Birmingham Bowl, Belk Bowl (Charlotte NC) or Independence Bowl. One of the 3 bowls in FL with an SEC tie-in (Outback, Citrus, TaxSlayer) would be nice, and we've got no chance of making any of them if we're 6-6.

I didn't say we had nothing to play for, just that to "dominate" Mizzou wasn't a shoe-in. I don't think we have much of a shot at the Fl bowls. Personally, I pulling for the Liberty or Music City, but that's for convenience and personal preference. I'm tickled to be able to get to one, I'll be happy anywhere.

Yeah, top ranked classes helped Texas all these years......We recruit to our system, just like everyone. If you haven't noticed, we look for Uncommon recruit's!!

Really doesn't matter that much on money, besides the major bowls, the rest are break even at best. They may say they are paying you $1mil, but they expect you to sell X amount of tickets, and then you have all the expenses.

Oh I've noticed - maybe Bielema can change that and Arkansas stars.
You have stars on the brain, assuming you have........

You're learning! 8)
So I'm hearing that Arkansas will get to wear all red friday. Apparently there's some conference rule that allows both teams to wear their home jerseys in rivalry games or something. That'll be nice, but honestly I don't understand why this isn't the standard all the time. Obviously we can't wear red to Tuscaloosa because the home team does, but if we're going to Knoxville or Gainesville or Oxford, what's the harm?

I heard coach b tell the crowd that tonight on the radio broadcast from the catfish hole.
Loved hearing from him, coach Cheney, and coach smith. We are very blessed to have to staff.
Woo. Pig. Sooie.
9 straight quarters
The streak is over
Had to come to an end sooner or later. Did take a 52 yard FG
Having a lot of false starts
Here come the SEC refs
We just need to relax ourselves. Too wound up and doing silly things.
Defense is solid, but not flying to the ball like the last 2 games.
Penalties are killing us.
Need a long drive here. Another big stop/block by the D
Nice call on the fake punt...
Got to capitalize on these TOs

Looked to me like he could've cut back in and possibly scored.
He just didn't want to get stood up and stripped
New ballgame. Offense needs to step it up
Jim Chaney needs to go
A hurt QB and it's throw on every play
Get BA out of there.
Defense is tired. Been on the field the entire second half. BA does not look right.
What's irritating is that it took them that long to figure it out. He has no business out there.
Defense is straight tuckered out.
Both are.
Opportunities to win this one have been squandered up to now, 5:45 left.
Plenty of time but this is far from over. I hope.
Momentum is Mizz favor...shoot
Inside run, inside run, inside run. Missouri scores. And we are the power run team?

Yes they have.
Now we have to see if play calling or our QB can win it for us. We are in trouble here.
Defense is gassed,,,, we're not deep enough yet....
If BA is hurt, get him the heck out...
Time for AA
They put him back in...why Oh why?!?!?!
Ballgame here
Hunter Henry, great player? Uhhh, drop.
BA back out there. Well, they're done.
Yet another misfire.
He is very average and we now need him to play super.
Fear in his eyes right now.
BA has no business on that field, but then again, he never did.
Yank the scholarship and let him go.
This is on the coaches, not Allen. That kid is hurting.
Oh, another delay of game. Fantastic job.
* cheap shot!
We still have time to run the ball
Love how Skipper went after that punk.
Going with a hurt scared QB
Wow we make a much needed play.
If we lose this game there is no question as to why...
Entirely irresponsible to have a hurt player in there like that.
Boy I'd love to see Skipper be able to get his hands on him after the game
Crunch time again.

I agree, it is obvious that he is having trouble throwing...
Yet, if we come back and win, you'll hear about BA's toughness instead of the staff's irresponsibility.
It doesn't help matters that BA has taken a pounding all day...
BA has guts for sure
That's a fumble. We're done.
Collins was down.
Well that sucks
Nice. Refs owe for that fumble earlier in the game.
Not enough evidence to overturn, regardless.

Seems like it.
Ball was definitely loose in his arms, but it was inconclusive as to whether or not he had it when he hit the ground. Bad call.
I always love it when the officials decide a game.
Talk about us rushing field. :)

Exactly. It looked like Collins got the ball back and the DE snatched it from him as they were on the ground. The ball shouldn't have went to Missouri.
We should have had this one locked up in the first half. 98 yard drive for a TD was a killer.
Final score:
Mizzou 21
Arkansas 14
Referees 2 overturned replays in favor of the home team
12th Man broke his fibula rushing the field in Fayetteville and would now like to wish broken fibulas on all these Mizzou people tonight
I question the use of Brandon in the second half, he obviously was not 100%. The D played the most snaps they had all year and it showed, gassed at the end. The offense needs to get better, pretty simple.

Agreed. Brandon showed some guts by staying in because he's not going to say that he can't go. But for Bielema to stress that he'd never do anything to jeopardize a player's career, that's exactly what he did during the last two Hog drives. Missouri has a good defense and you've got to change things up. UA did a decent job of that in the first half, but got predictable in the second half.

It may be because I am around theme more now, but, I have never heard a fan base blame the refs for losing more than the Razor Pig fan base. I have spent a whole lot of time around UF, FSU, Miami, but you guys take the cake.
Did you see the game? Two VERY questionable overturned calls, both in favor of the home team
The officials didn't beat us, but every team that looses blames the refs, just read the other fan boards.
And for the record, 12th Man wasn't blaming the refs for the loss. Just saying the home team received some assistance from the men in stripes
I thought the SEC was unbeatable and so dominate... Missouri is 14-2 the last 2 years. They lost to Indiana and could not have even won their old Big 12 the last 2 years.
Shouldn't have come down to that last fumble call...we've gotta learn how to put teams away late when we have a chance. We haven't been able to do that all year. The LSU game was probably over at halftime and the Ole Miss game was one of those where everything went right and things bounced our way. In a game like today, Missouri dictated the entire second half. Even with a 14-6 lead, the Hogs were still playing on their heels.

There in a nutshell is how we lost. I understand baby bro probably was not all the way ready. But surely he took enough snaps this week in practice to at least know most of the game plan. No way B Allen at 50% is that much better than little Allen. If that is the case we never should have recruited either of them!

With no deep threat or home run hitter it's hard to make defenses play honest. The games we lost in the second half were because once defenses figured OK we can just sellout at stopping the run and not worry about getting beat deep or playing too aggressive we had no answer.

Didn't like the overturned calls. Both were right. An argument might be made about the evidence not being indisputable, but they were right.
BA should have been pulled and we just didn't finish. Still need more depth on D to get the mammoths some time to catch their breath.
Mizzou is a solid team that can finish strong. A missed opportunity. Looking forward to the bowl game.

I like coach BB but he opens himself up to criticism sometimes. He raised all kinds of L about HUNH and player safety but then plays a kid that was absolutely defenseless ??? Not being picky or even looking for something to criticize but it's hard to reconcile what he said this summer with what he just did.
That loss is squarely on the coaching staff. BA should've never touched the field.

Finally! ::) A Hog Fan without blinders on. Collins fumble was so obvious, in slow motion, I can't believe this is being disputed ha ha. When Collins hit the ground and tried to get the ball back, he made that sweep with his arm but only recovered air. The biased eye assumed he had it, but it was already under the defender. Anyone notice the - blocking n the back call on Mizzou? Ha ha now that was a blown call. Cost them a 1st down - had to punt. dang Home team Refs!
I just want to say thanks to the Razorback players and coaching staff for not giving up on the season. This whole season has been quite an adventure. Many close games and coulda shoulda Wouldas. Who would've thought that we, as the last place team in the west could go on the road and play the first place team in the east so well. Wasn't our best game. Players and coaches both. Still love those Hogs.
Arkansas has ran out of gas, in the 2nd half, all year long - because of the lack of depth. Mizzou knew it and was planning on it - once the Hogs got tired, Mizzou stopped the side line to side line races and went for the juggler, right up the middle. Amazing how far Bielema has brought Arkansas in his 2nd year - give him time to recruit a team - 1st & 2nd string.
Bama's going to butt stomp Mizzou! ::)
I thought CBB believed in player safety. Are yall telling me he played an injured player?

Nope. The fumble on Collins was right. On the other, Mauk was trying to tuck it.
Fumble.
Painful.
Mack, I agree about the tuck. But, the way the college rules are written, it counts as going forward. I would have liked to have seen an angle that showed the ball better when his arm first started going forward. Pretty tight either way, had to be overturned on the rule.
The Mauk fumble and the fumble by Collins did not beat us...we should have never been in that situation. CBB should not have played BA, it was obvious he was in pain and it didn't help that he got beat to Hades all day.
I am disappointed in CBB to say the least...

Imagine you showing up?? I would bet we had a lot of players banged up and injured that played, just like every team. Well, we beat your prediction of two wins, shows what you know about college football. Oh, I know, you changed your prediction after a game. I guess when you can get do overs, you might get one right.
I guess your argument is wrong about player safety too

I guess you fail to understand not being able to substitute for an injured player on defense, and substituting on offense, you do know the offense can whenever they wish to?
Yes, and cbb left an injured player in. Thanks for clearing that up. Btw, thats twice in two years

Which has nothing to do with the player safety issue, but you're just trolling because we lost. Why don't you go find an Auburn board, or whatever team you support? It's amazing, we win, and it's crickets from you, we lose, and you're running up your post count.
Oh no, im upset for the loss but i was reading where BA was apparently hurt yet cbb was still playing him. I stopped posting so much when my hometown town season was over. It just so happen to coincide with the hogs finally winning. Sry but your belief in player safety is yet again disproved

Not at all, he had the opportunity if he chose to, to take him out. The concern is getting an injured defensive player off the field and can't because the next play is being run. Every player who played in that game was cleared by Drs to play, correct?
I dont know? I just know when you play an injured player who cant react as fast or who may have trouble moving therefore the risk of further injury is much greater. I dont need a doctorate to know that. Cbb told that to me in his rrants about the hunh
And did the rules allow us to substitute for him if we wished?? Yes, they did, thus his argument. I think Brandon should have been pulled, but we had opportunities to, unlike defensive players in the HUNH.
Cmon Rice, you know BA was hurt and it showed. He winced everytime he threw the ball...then he took a beating on top of it. I felt sorry for BA to be honest. You know BA wouldn't take himself out so CBB should have made the decision...

I said he shouldn't have been out there in the end, it was obvious his shot had worn off. Oh, if you don't think they drain knees and take shots, well, you may need to go watch flag football. So, you thought Brandon played a bad first half, that he shouldn't have been out there?
So please tell me, why does cbb need time to pull injured defensive guys when he had all the time in the world and didnt pull an injured qb? Im confused
I was smh the entire 4th quarter. Defense was getting shredded and BA was as inefficient as Casey dick. Every play Mizzou checked out of was for positive yardage. They saw something our defensive coordinator didn't. BA was like watching a battery go dead in a remote control toy...

It was a DUMB move leaving a QB with limited to zero ability to move against 2 of the best pass rushers in college football! BA was getting worse each play even when they barely touched him we was going down. He started out fine and I have no problem starting him to see how it goes But something happen during the game that made it dangerous to leave him.
CBB said that BA didn't want to come out so they left him, then BA says that he THOUGHT that he could get the job done! WHAT! Coaches and trainers have got to do a better job with injuries and quite frankly, this, IMO, cost us the game.
Anybody competitive will not want to come out. That's just a part of the game. The players do not (the majority of the time) and should not make that call.

I'll type this real s l o w for you. He isn't allowed to dictate when the play is run on defense, you understand that? Now, when on offense, he is. Now, you can question whether Brandon should have been pulled, but it has nothing to do with his stance on being able to substitute a player out on defense when the offense dictates the pace of play.
I get it, you don't like Allen or Bielema, but that's nothing new.
BA wanted to come out - that's why he whollered on his back for 10 secs or stood there bent over, after each play - even got a delay of game. That's the "Hey coach, I'm hurting like heck, but I'll die for my team if I have too" sign. Coach was weighing experience over inexperience.
Mizzou's receivers made some great receptions with Hog's secondary hanging all over em. Defense got banged up pretty good - thought Flowers lost a step. Mizzou QB had time in 2nd half. Barely into 4th qtr, Mizzou drove from goal line to goal line - then made a conversion with a reverse pass that totally confused UA. UA had worked it's way down to Mizzou's 30 yd line when Collins fumbled. Williams fumbled in the 2nd. Timeout called by Bielema as Mizzou Kicker missed field goal, just before half, got a do-over - made it. If college football games were only 30 mins long - Arkansas would be ranked in the Top 5.

I think if they were 45 minutes, we'd be just a high. The defense got tired, that was the most snaps they had played all season. Offense didn't give them much rest, and they couldn't get off the field in the second half.

Nah, I think Brady is a little better. I guess you've failed to read where I said that they should have pulled him in the third or early in the fourth when he was struggling mightily? Now, his first half performance was just fine.

This is probably my only true gripe with coach B this year with leaving Brandon in. Would it made a difference, don't know. But I think Austin could have at least hit some of those passes.
If you could tell though, ba is a competitor. He seemed to signal a couple of times toward the sideline with his hands pushing away as a way to tell them to leave him in. With all the BS he has death with from some of our pos fans I don't blame him for gutting it out. I hated watching him hurt and I wish he would have come out. But he showed alot of toughness and character by trying to carry the state of Arkansas on his back during that final drive.

It helps being up 17-0 at home. It wouldn't have bothered me any to have seen him in the second half.
So...Ole Miss
ACC sure isn't scared to play the big bad SEC. 4-0 today.
Middle of the pack Big 12 team has won the SEC east 2 years on a row.
I thought yesterday it was shameless in the way the SEC kept trying to make people think Missouri and Arkansas is or will be a rivalry game.
Watch Arizona - Arizona State, Ole Miss - Mississippi State, Auburn - Bama, Florida - Florida State, Georgia - Georgia Tech ------------- those are rivalry games. You have to have hate to have a hated rival.
Today was worst case for the SEC... Especially if Bama loses there could be zero SEC teams in the playoff. And 0-4 against the ACC. Wow. Not good.
Pulling for Gus.... I hate the Tide.
3/4 of those SEC losses to the ACC were mismatches. The Georgia loss is bad, and we didn't need Mississippi State to lose to Ole Miss; however, while it was a bad day, this doesn't prove much of anything about the SEC in general
I thought the worst of the wrst in the SEC could curve stomp anybody in the other conferences. Especially the ACC.
6-6 Hogs could demolish most anybody.
Naw ---- I never thought that.
You're leaving out an important fact. The Hogs are better than 3/4 of the teams that lost today
Arkansas would play close games with Kentucky, Florida, and South Carolina... Dont let your homerism get in the way of that.
That's quite debatable. 12th Man feels confident that we would beat all three easily
OK. Sat around the Deer Camp in Star City all day Friday listening to the same arguments. I was nice and just agreed with them. I will you too. Go Hogs.
They did not say much after the Missouri game was over though.
Florida could stop our run... Look what they did to Georgia. We made great strides but the only teams I could see us handiling easily would be Vandy and Tennessee. Everyone else even the top teams we would play tight all the way from Miss St to Kentucky at the other end of the spectrum. They would all be tight matchups. We did lose 6 games for a reason. If we played the season again we may go 5-3 in conference. Thats why I want 9 conference games to settle more of these debates.
Kentucky isn't bowl eligible playing in the least...er...the East
If Auburn beats Bama there could be 0 SEC teams in the playoff.

That does not address that we still went 2-6 in the SEC.... Even in the East we would have probably finished 5-3 at best.... We already lost to Georgia and Missouri and still would have played 2 West teams. The SEC just was not as good as previous years either. Alabama in its main stretch the previous few years would have mopped the floor with this years Alabama. The SEC is still the best conference but for SEC standards it is down with the Big 12, Pac 12, and ACC closing in on it this season as much as I dont like to say it.
With 14 teams in the SEC now I want a 9 game conference slate.

ACC sure isn't scared to play the big bad SEC. 4-0 today.
Middle of the pack Big 12 team has won the SEC east 2 years on a row.
I thought yesterday it was shameless in the way the SEC kept trying to make people think Missouri and Arkansas is or will be a rivalry game.
Watch Arizona - Arizona State, Ole Miss - Mississippi State, Auburn - Bama, Florida - Florida State, Georgia - Georgia Tech ------------- those are rivalry games. You have to have hate to have a hated rival.
The ACC played South Carolina (terrible), Georgia, Florida (garbage, and has already fired their coach), and Kentucky (also garbage). Georgia Tech I've got a lot of respect for. If they'd never left the SEC they would be competitive still today. The others? They beat the dregs of the East. Let them try to do the same against the West and let's see how it goes.

Missouri's schedule
South Dakota State W 18 - 38
Toledo W 49 - 24
UCF W 10 - 38
Indiana L 31 - 27
South Carolina W 21 - 20
Geogia L 34 - 0
Florida W 42 - 13
Vanderbilt W 14 - 24
Kentucky W 10 - 20
Texas A&M W 34 -17
Tennessee W 29 - 21
Arkansas W 14 - 21
Looks like Missouri beat most of the east about the same as the west.
I could have swore that was a Big Ten schedule.
Memphis vs. Arkansas in the Liberty Bowl is a potential bowl matchup this year. That would be a strange twist of fate... But really get some high interest for a low level bowl game
It will be West Virginia-Arkansas in the Liberty
That will be fun too... Hopefully its cold like that one Liberty Bowl we squeaked by ECU... That would slow down West Virginias style. We will be favored no matter what, we will run it too well on them. That ECU game I remember our WRs dropped so many balls in that cold and almost lost us the game.

I am reading they will send the Tigers to Miami. If they do a lot of locals better show up and support the Tigers because I can't imagine over 1,000 Tiger football fans showing up down there.

Maybe there is hope
Trust 12th Man when he says that you don't want Memphis to play Arkansas
Sure I do. 12th man has been wrong so many times on here I am feeling optimistic.
12th Man has been right more than he's been wrong. He said 7-5 before the season which is closer than any of the haters on here
7-5 is closer than 5-7? Uh, you lose on the price is right
Most said 3-9 or 4-8
Hit it on the mark, 6-6, I wish I had been under by a couple of games. Haters were in the 2-10 to 4-8 window.
They still win on the price is right

Fastpitch - love ya man - but if they played in any other conference, or the SEC East, they might only have 2 conference losses. Two of the four non conference (cupcake) teams, they played, would've had winning records in the AAC.

Depends were you come from, or perspective. Next year, 6-6 will be a down year, depending on injuries and other unforseen circumstances 9 months out.

2 losses in the east... we already lost our 2 east games and still would play 2 west teams so that's at least 3 losses if you split the west games. Plus, who says we would 100% win against Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, and South Carolina... Missouri beat all those teams by similar scores as beating us. We would have went 4-4 or 5-3 in the east IMO

I went from AR to FL back to AR for my better half to handle a family situation then off to CO we went..... Colorado is incredible.... I could not have picked a better place to wake up every day and jog..... There are hundreds of miles of trails for me to run so I never have to hit pavement again. It will be hard to ever go east of Interstate 25 again after the beauty out here........ But I do need to chill I agree ;D .... What I miss more than ever is the house I rented in Dardanelle for 650 was a castle with new appliances, a back yard for my dogs, garage.... 775 here is getting me a dump lol even though we both got raises coming out here.... Cost of living is crap :o ... If I ever won the lottery I would buy so much land in Newton or Searcy County and build a real castle to get a bang for my buck!
Yeah - you've told us over & over, except a couple of weeks ago - when I couldn't get you to answer about that 10 dog weather for a week. You were probably shoveling snow though. I've spent a lot of time in Colo., hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing, vacationing, my favorite state geographically. Just don't like the people - especially relatives. lol. It's 80 deg motorcycle weather here today - fixing to open the pool.
Sorry Fastdrop - I'm about to get someone to turn spell check off for me.

Oh my yes it got -8... Obviously never experienced that cold before. I will miss late fall and winter in the south... Nothing beats that too me..... I just want to know where Arkansas is bowl bound. They officially release that next Sunday right? Although some bowls will offer bids earlier if that's how it goes?
I'd much prefer it to not be cold. We about froze to death on Beale St last year on New Years Eve. I was mixing rum and hot chocolate.

I don't see how the Tigers were keeping the gates open a few years back. I swear there was not much more than a couple thousand at home games. $15 would get you a seat anywhere in the stadium.

Flowers, Spaight, Turner, and Mitchel on defense. Wilson, Cook, and Derby on offense. JWill is probably 50/50 on going pro, Philon as a redshirt Soph is draft eligible.

Losing Some solid defensive players. Nice having a linebacker for a change. Glad Ellis is still around and hope Philon stays. As well as Williams on offense.
Why was Derby not at the Mizzou game?
Injury
Derby had knee surgery. May be ready for bowl game, may not. Kind of a wait-and-see type deal.

Yeah, Spaight and Flowers were the heart and soul of the defense this season, they will be missed. We have some good young DE's, they just need to step up like Flowers did. I don't know if we have a LB to take the place of Spaight, we have some young ones, but no where near his level of play.
Spaight and Flowers seemed to be in on EVERY tackle this year. Going to be hard to replace them IMO.

Flowers and Spaight will be missed for sure but the biggest loss may be within the coaching staff in Robb Smith...I wish Jim Chaney was leaving...that guy is a train wreck...

Was it just me, but after Jwill's TD he put his hands up in the air. Was that a Ferguson protest? I saw a few tweets about it.
Yeah, that's what he was doing. ::)

There is absolutely - no way - these players could feel this way, other than having been fed false propaganda by non creditable new sources. Sad!

He can stay. Others should go
Yep
He isn't going anywhere. Nebraska is a has been powerhouse. They should have taken what Bo Pelini offered them and ran with him until the end.

Yeah, Bugs would be ready to squash someone's head with his biceps.
Why would you go to Nebraska? 2 of their last 3 coaches have averaged 9 wins or better over their whole tenure there and been fired. Cornhusker fans have even more unreasonable expectations than Razorback fans.

Bielema is the current coach, he hasn't been fired. JLS was never more than an 8-month stopgap. Petrino wasn't fired for wins and losses, but for reference, here's his stats:
2008: 5-7
2009: 8-5
2010: 10-3
2011: 11-2
That adds up to 34-17, for a win percentage of .667, meaning that in his average season he won 8.5 games and lost 4.25 (he only went to bowls 3 years out of 4, so the numbers don't average to a whole number). His worst year was 5-7, no bowl game.
By Comparison, here's two of Nebraska's last three:
Frank Solich (1998-2003):
1998: 9-4
1999: 12-1
2000: 10-2
2001: 11-2
2002: 7-7
2003: 9-3
A total of 58-19, win percentage of .753. In his average season, he won 9.67 games and lost 3.17. His worst year was 7-7 with a loss in the Independence Bowl.
Bill Callahan sucked and I'm not going to examine his 4 years.
Bo Pelini (2008-2014):
2008: 9-4
2009: 10-4
2010: 10-4
2011: 9-4
2012: 10-4
2013: 9-4
2014: 9-3
A total of 67-27, win percentage of .713. In his average season, he won 9.57 and lost 3.86. His worst year was 9-4, 3 times.
Solich had one season where he won less than 9 games, never missed a bowl, and averaged over 9 wins a year. Pelini never won fewer than 9 games, never missed a bowl game, and averaged over 9.5. That's crazy. What coach would want a job where two of the last three guys got fired for 9-3 seasons? What sort of crazy fan base calls for a guy's head when he reliably wins 9 games a year?

It's just how I've always operated. I can't tell you how excited I am for next year. Obviously, my commitment to Arkansas is long-term."
He's not going to Nebraska, or anywhere this year. In the future, sure it's possible, and more than likely probable.

No Bielema has not been fired - lol - the poster said
Two out of the last 3 have been fired. Didn't say why, how, or what. Petrino & John L - count as 2 out of 3. This is one of those post you could've just let go? Instead, in your typical democrat fashion, you stated something obvious about something not said.

2011: 9-4

A total of 67-27, win percentage of .713. In his average season, he won 9.57 and lost 3.86. His worst year was 9-4, 3 times.
Solich had one season where he won less than 9 games, never missed a bowl, and averaged over 9 wins a year. Pelini never won fewer than 9 games, never missed a bowl game, and averaged over 9.5. That's crazy. What coach would want a job where two of the last three guys got fired for 9-3 seasons? What sort of crazy fan base calls for a guy's head when he reliably wins 9 games a year?
What was Pelini's conference record during his time at Nebraska. (and I'm not trying to make a point, just curious.)

Why would you go to Nebraska? 2 of their last 3 coaches have averaged 9 wins or better over their whole tenure there and been fired.
What's Petrino, John L, and Bielema's average? To my recollection, weren't they fired as well? LOL
Bielema's been fired, link? Also, Bobby wasn't fired for his w/l record, which I'm sure you knew.
No Bielema has not been fired - lol - the poster said Two out of the last 3 have been fired. Didn't say why, how, or what. Petrino & John L - count as 2 out of 3. This is one of those post you could've just let go? Instead, in your typical democrat fashion, you stated something obvious about something not said.
I always know when you're losing an argument on a subject, you throw in politics. Democrat fashion? Try to find something that you can tie to me on that one, haha. You also failed to notice that the context of his post, it was that their coaches were fired based on their w/l records, Bobby wasn't.

ricepig, Venny is a realist. His speculation and out of left field confirmations are based in reality, unlike the rest of us.
So it's not possible? Your saying that CBB or any coach for that matter has never lied? And yes, I am a realist...I don't live in fantasy land and I don't see everything through Razorback colored glasses. I will say this again, I hope CBB stays...I hope Chaney leaves...lol...

Yea I was talking to someone about that... Miles is one more 3-5 or 4-4 SEC conference season from being gone. I'd leave now if I was him.
Saban could cut a deal with some of the coaches that he won't run up the score as much on them if they support this
I would be concerned who takes the Michigan job. If Greg Schiano ends up being the coach, which is rumored, he'll probably try to bring Robb Smith with him.

The SEC West doesn't have a Championship Team, like previously over the last decade. Remember earlier when every team, except Arkansas was ranked. Has every team been in the Top 10 at some point - now where are we? SEC East is certainly down - helping Missouri's record.
Did they get it right - Bama, Oregon, Florida St, Ohio St? So how well is Bama gonna represent the SEC West?

Basically this committee has made the money match ups. Have we ever seen rankings move this much. TCU and Baylor should have scheduled tougher OOC opponents. However if those teams were say Texas or Oklohoma with the same schedule would they have dropped out.
How does FSU sit at #4 for so long, barely win again and move up. TCU wins by 52 and falls 3 spots and Baylor all of a sudden jumps them. OSU has the worst loss of the 4 in the semis and definitely a worse loss than TCU.
Its no mistake that they put the SEC against BIG 10/12/whatever. Meyer/Saban headlines til the end of time. Also no mistake they put Oregon against FSU, past heisman winner against probably the next heisman winner.
These match ups had nothing to do with football, but everythingto do with the all mighty dollar.

I'm far, far, from an tOSU fan, but their win over Wisconsin was impressive. They also benefited from playing a 13th game, something TCU and Baylor didn't have. It gave the Big 12 a clear message, play a championship game.
Think of an 8 team playoff this year and how fun it would be... especially let the 1st round be played at the home stadium of the higher ranked team...
(1)Alabama vs. (8)Michigan State
(4)Ohio State vs. (5)Baylor
(2)Oregon vs. (7) Mississippi State
(3)Florida State vs. (6) TCU
.... I think all those would stay below 2 score games. ... 8 is the perfect #. That way all power conference teams with 1 loss or less would always make the playoff. I couldn't envision there ever being 9 teams with 1 loss or less from power conferences. I guess it could happen.
I was a fan of 8 team when a playoff was announced. I read somewhere, though, it will remain in this format until 2025.

I think they got the right 4 overall. Lets say TCU and BAylor squared off again and the game went similar to last time but with TCU coming out on top are they in instead of tOSU?
If TCU is 12-0? Yeah, if FSU gets in for an undefeated season, TCU should as well, especially since they faced a tougher schedule and had better margins of victory most of the time.
TCU is 11-1.
Right, but he was asking what if TCU had won. I think.
Even at that, they still would have been 12-1.
Really needs to be eight. I think the only reason that it wasn't originally was because they were afraid of the SEC having five or six teams in it and making both semi finals.

Well, if they were in the league, there would be 15 teams. Vandy 15th and the west last place team 14th
No, if they were in the league, then their would have to be another team in the other side for the divisions to equal. Then, it would depend if the other team was very good or not. it would probably be Junction City. They can play with anybody and would probably win the east. But, they would get to run a bus to all of Louisiana. What about classes? Could TB practice more since they don't have classes? Why the L not? Why doesn't the SEC add a north and south division? Or a central? Maybe go the 32 or 64 teams? They could form their own NCAA. Who would run it?

This is the same coach that could not surpass john l smiths 4-8 high bar...2 wins...maybe 3. You can not just load up with running backs and hope for 3 yards. And the best QB is gonna be on the bench because BB has this seniority complex about players...hogs are In BIG trouble
Good call

Would you guys listen to yourselves...you are all in denial. If u think for one minute that just because a coach is screwing around that he needs to be fired then you really need a reality check. You do know that stuff like this is happening all over the....well, world. You think that bobby was the first coach to mess around at the u of a? And the whole give him another year thing worked out well Houston didn't it? Let's just hope we can get to 3 wins this year...if we do them I'll retract and say I was wrong but I have a feeling I'm not. And as far as your little comment about going across state...it was mostly work related but we chose GW over a lot of schools because my son is good and deserves a chance to play d1 football. Even though that has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation...it had to do with a poll and if anyone says anything other than the hogs go undefeated then that means you're an idiot and deserves to be exiled...
Haven't seen you retract your words yet

Now see, i believe the exact opposite. Anyone who thinks 7-5 is living in la la land. I would guess it will be closer to a 4 win season but if we were playing the price is right, i win.
Good call
6-6 was regular season record, I didn't see a 7-6 in the poll did you? So, unless you voted 6-6, you're just as wrong as anyone else

The poll asked what our regular season record would be. I said 7-5 and you said 2-10 but then said you thought it would be closer to a 4-win season. Guess what, 6 is closer to 7 than 4, so I wasn't as wrong as anybody. Takes a man to admit when he's wrong

IDK what math you're smoking but 4 is closer to 6 than 7.
FWIW I beat you both.

When did a 6-6 regular season become exciting? Our non conference schedule was terrible. Texas Tech wasn't even a quality win. The only conference wins they had were against Iowa State and Kansas. Going 6-6 is not like going 8-8 in the NFL. I will never take .500 teams seriously in college.

It sort of becomes exciting after going 7-17 the previous two years, including the worst record since 1942 the year preceding.

In case you missed it, Arkansas was actually competitive in the sec this year... You can be hacked off about going 6-6 ,but why do the "realist" fans feel the need to try to take a dump in the punch bowl of all the excited fans? I means seriously I get so sick of the so called realist fans being hacked off about the excitement that's tarting to come back to the program....

6-6 became exciting when we hire john L smith as coach, we get embarrassed under him and we then proceed with a 3 win season. Then the next year we follow that up with a bowl win over Texas. Not to mention obliterating Lsuck and ole pee in the same year.
Yeah. That's reason to be excited. But I want more wins.

I was wrong, you were wrong, wrong is wrong. I see you're a moral victory kinda guy, now go have your juice box and orange wedge while you gaze at all your participation trophies
Nope. You said it would be closer to a 4 win season than 7-5. I'm not into moral victories, but I'm obviously not in la la land like some people who just sit around and bash the Hogs

I was just following along until you posted this and got me thinking AW. :) Of course Hog Fans have a lot to be excited about, it was like a turnaround season. However did the Hogs only win 2 (two) conference games? Two conference games and go to a bowl? You know I think preconference should be considered preseason - BAM (shut down football program after playing UAF), N Illinois, Nicholls St (c'mon). UAF got to a bowl game because of ranking, which was deserved, it just sounds less impressive when you say they actually only won 2 real games. If a couple of those preseason games had of been more legit, instead of 70-0 exercises, it might've helped them earlier in conference. Seemed like the Hogs got better, with each conference game.

We played in a bowl because we won the minimum games, as established by the NCAA, there was no rankings involved. As far as the Tech game, you never know how good a team will be when you schedule them 7-8 years in advance. I'm sure the TCU and Michigan series looked easier a few years ago, I suspect Harbaugh will have Michigan rolling by the time we play them in 2018.
Valley, I agree. But I'm finding some positives within all the negatives.

Hey I don't see much of anything but positives with the Hogs right now. Other than not being able to recruit 3 deep in every position. Which I still think puts a ceiling on Bielima's Old School Football in the SEC. Then again Arkansas nearly beat Alabama - I'm curious to see what happens in the next couple years. I see the Hogs as a team fighting against the odds - would be happy, for the Hog Nation, if y'all won the Conference.
He is building the right way. Strong defense and solid lines.

How about this, when guessing a number between 1 and 10, what is the next phrase of the sentence? Plus, I noticed you didn't say you were wrong, so who has a problem with it, me or you?
