Arkansas Razorback Football 2011-12 (Hogs Only)

[Uncle Ivan]

If you think, when fall practice starts, Petrino is prepping these boys for Missouri State, New Mexico, and Troy, you have blinders.

He started prepping for Alabama, the moment the Sugar Bowl ended, he knows what is riding on this game.

Petrino did precisely that to start last season off.  Remember how vanilla the offense was for Tennessee Tech and ULM?

No one knew what the "wheel route" was during those games.

One last time, I will repeat the initial point about Arkansas' OOC schedule:

From the prognostication standpoint - once again, Arkansas' opening OOC schedule will come back to haunt them.  Opening with three sisters of the poor is no way to prepare for Alabama.  Arkansas already has more than enough money in the athletic department coffers - playing money games just isn't necessary and sends a signal to fans that pursuit of $$$ is more important than the pursuit of success.

Final Alabama 31, Arkansas 17

Arkansas' opening OOC stretch is a recipe for a loss at Tuscaloosa. 
Your point from Phil Steele's SOS measurement looks at the entire year's SOS.
Look at the SOS Arkansas plays BEFORE they play Alabama and tell me how that prepares Arkansas to play at Alabama's level. 

And I will repeat mine:
WE DON'T NEED TO PLAY THREE MARQUEE OOC GAMES TO START THE SEASON.
As someone posted, there is hardly a team in the BCS conferences that has the speed and athleticism that we have in the SEC. The three opening games are opportunities to work on things against a real opponent during live game conditions.

Keep digging yourself deeper.

Hey idiot, freaking read before posting (I won't even ask you to think because you've already conclusively proved that is beyond your limited abilities...)  Find where anyone (other than you) said Arkansas needs to play three marquee games.   

This coming from the superstar that has been ranting about Arkansas' OOC schedule.

You need to lay off the sauce or something.

Kniles Davis will be the make or break point.  The secret is out on that guy and best believe bama is going to be targeting him.  I know Tyler Wilson has some intangibles but playing Bama on the road is going to be tough without a good running game to open up the play action pass.  I am also interested to see how Petrino will make up the void of DJ Williams being gone.  Dude made some big plays last year. Great route runner.

Without a good running game?
You gotta be kidding me. Knile Davis has been mentioned in some places as a darkhorse Heisman candidate. Barring injury, he looks to exceed the production he put out last season.

Go ahead and let Alabama load the box, Greg Childs, Jarius Wright, Joe Adams, Cobi Hamilton, Quinton Funderburk, Chriss Gragg, or somebody will be open.

Umm that is what I am saying Lee Corso.  I am pretty sure I am complimenting him and saying that it is going to be Tough for tyler to overcome Alabama if he doesn't have Kniles Davis producing like he did at the end of the year. You are fishing for an argument.

That should be fun.  Alabama isn't too shy to play cover 2 bump and press.  It should be interesting.

[Ex-HAplayer]

Haha only bcuz of the leather jacket (Sarcasm). See Gate, I am not like you haters. I can give respect when its due.  I know Arkansas has the best receiving core in the SEC and maybe the nation. Anyone of those guys would be the NO.1 guy on any other collegiate team.  Not to mention have a hoss like Davis in the backfield. Mind you, it is always harder to repeat once everyone else realizes you are very good.  Richardson and Dyer (especially) will realize this.  However, you like I know it not only takes talent but some sure enough luck to run the table in the SEC. Especially, in the SEC west which is insane.  Only time will tell.

....and a dominant defensive unit. Everyone is talking about the offense. But you can go research both here and on Hogville....back in 2008 I said that it would take three years for Petrino to build a defense good enough to win the SEC, that 2011 would be the year. Well, that defense is here. I don't care how good you are offensively, you do not win this league without a good defense.

It is time....

Well, at least a defense that is opportunistic and can make the key stop or turnover, but otherwise true story.

Hey now! They were opportunistic at the right time though.  Atrocious might be too strong even for a hate mongrel like yourself.

I'm glad I can't read the vomit that is spewing from a particular posters mouth through a keyboard.

[Ex-HAplayer]

That is called denial.  It will be ok. Arkansas will go 10-2 during their regular season.

[Brian G]

Did anyone catch the blurb from CBP about Mallet sharing the Hogs hand signals for others to see?  It seems on the ESPN show with Gruden, he revealed the brunt of the Hogs signals used at the line of scrimmage.  Arkansas has now changed their signals.

CBP admitted he was less than happy about it when he found out RM and revealed them.  But the did add that RM offered some usable suggestions to use instead.

Not a biggie, but was noteworthy.

[zebradynasty]

I would assume that the signals would be changed each season anyway.

[Brian G]

Not completely according to CBP.

[Father Guido]

Still better than the Nutt system where HDN would signal in the plays while mouthing it out so, if you where watching his mouth you could have a pretty good idea of what the play was.  No telling how many times the TV would show him and you could clearly make out words like, "right", "31", "toss", or "go", and anyone with any football background could put together a formation and or know where the play was goin.  Not that you needed that much imagination to figure out what he was going to call, but you could sure verify it a lot of times.

...and when you see the coach say "Right 31", or Left "37", it helps you narrow that down even further, so just imaging what kind of numbers they all could have put up if teams didn't know exactly where they were going, at least part of the time.  (If I could pick it up on the 4-5 times a game the TV would show HDN sending in plays, you know other teams were watching him every play.)

[zebradynasty]

I think some are making it a bigger issue than it was for Nutt. The offense under Nutt suffered from being predictable (Mainly because he never had solid QB play) but the run game was NEVER a problem while he coached. The Hogs led the SEC in rushing most years and consistently ranked in the top 10-15 nationally. So the fact that defenses knew where the ball was going to be ran seems to have had little effect. What hurt the offense under Nutt was on 3rd down and long when EVERYONE knew he was gonna pass!

[AirWarren]

Yea there was no mixture of the pass game with the effective run game. Run run pass punt was our favorite drive summary unless McFadden or jones took it all the way on one down.


I think monk would have been this year's alshon Jeffery from south Carolina in a BP offense. Had the size and hands.

[zebradynasty]

What I can't figure out is I really thought Monk had a shot in the NFL? He is no burner but I felt he ran good routes and great hands and with his size make a great possession WR. Wonder what gives

[Romeo]

The knee injury he suffered during preseason practice in 07 really slowed him down and affected his footwork. Monk really came back too soon during that season. I think if he had redshirted that year and played the next year with Petrino at full strength he would have had a better chance at making an NFL roster.

[zebradynasty]

True that injury really did get him down but I remember supposedly after rehab he was actually faster and I just thought he would have got on as a free agent somewhere.

[Brian G]

Work ethic and attitude.

[Uncle Ivan]

I would assume that the signals would be changed each season anyway.

Not always with different coaches.  Malzahn didn't change his when he went from Tulsa to Auburn.  Willy knew precisely what he was going to do, and said so after the game.  I imagine Gus got them changed quickly.

[zebradynasty]

 I expect that from a high school coach but BP....with the way signals are stole in the NFL I just figured he would change up every year.

[HGaluminTN]

Kniles Davis will be the make or break point.  The secret is out on that guy and best believe bama is going to be targeting him.  I know Tyler Wilson has some intangibles but playing Bama on the road is going to be tough without a good running game to open up the play action pass.  I am also interested to see how Petrino will make up the void of DJ Williams being gone.  Dude made some big plays last year. Great route runner.

Without a good running game?
You gotta be kidding me. Knile Davis has been mentioned in some places as a darkhorse Heisman candidate. Barring injury, he looks to exceed the production he put out last season.

Umm that is what I am saying Lee Corso.  I am pretty sure I am complimenting him and saying that it is going to be Tough for tyler to overcome Alabama if he doesn't have Kniles Davis producing like he did at the end of the year. You are fishing for an argument.

That doesn't even make since on so many levels but we aren't going to go that route. Arkansas 11-2 this year.  My prediction against Auburn..the homer in me says 31-24 Auburn.  The realist says 35-14 Arkansas. Maybe 35-21 who knows.

Chizik's defense has yet to hold Arkansas under 40.  It definitely won't happen this year, and I can see Petrino hanging 50 or more. 

I was looking at the Barn's sched, and 5-7, 4-8 is a distinct possibility.

Umm that is what I am saying Lee Corso.  I am pretty sure I am complimenting him and saying that it is going to be Tough for tyler to overcome Alabama if he doesn't have Kniles Davis producing like he did at the end of the year. You are fishing for an argument.

Who is Kniles Davis?

Oh my bad Knile Davis*. That guy who is suppose to lead you to your 1st SEC championship. My bad, I only remember how to spell Broderick Green name bcuz he is the only running back who sniffed the end zone against us.

*Shots fired back*

One year wonderboy rides again....

He won't have that one once the NCAA gets done Big Bubbaing Auburn's butt....

Hate to be picky Gate, but in the spirit of "politically correctness," I feel compelled to point out that that would need to be the Eisenhower Administration.
