So I haven't watched a ton of Arkansas this year. I was at the A&M game when yall were playing TCU. I did catch a little of the FA&M one, but not much.

I was under the impression that OL was a weakness. Looking at Pro Football Focus's metrics, it looks to be the strength of the offense.
quote:


Arkansas' 5 highest graded offensive players:
1. Hjalte Froholdt, G (90.1)
2. Frank Ragnow, C (87.2)
3. Johnny Gibson Jr., T (84.8)
4. Austin Cantrell, TE (77.1)
5. Ty Clary, G (75.4)


Can to share your thoughts?

Our offense has been crap so there really isn't anyone else to choose from. From what I've seen they are a little better at pass blocking but haven't been able to run block at all.

Clary is a true freshman blueshirt who is starting over multiple 4*s. Gibson is a former walk-on. Ragnow may be the best C in the country but he can't do it all by himself.

It's serviceable. Our crap WR and QB play has made them look worse than they are.

I don't know if our new WRs suck, if Austin spent too much time at the bar with Bret over the summer instead of on the practice field, or a combination of the two.

As a general rule so far, he either holds the ball forever and ultimately gets hit or gets the ball out and it's no where near the receiver.

On a scale of 1-100

We are a 672

You try and figure out what that means

It's the receivers or the offensive game plan

It's all about coaching and development for our O Line Farmer.

To answer strictly on the players you mentioned....

Ragnow will have a long and productive NFL career. He's as good a center as there is in the NCAA.

Froholdt is a Viking (literally) that is just out there to hit someone but has limited football experience.

Cantrell is a great blocking Tight End with a high motor but has hands of stone.

Gibson tries hard....bless his heart.

Clary is a grey shirt true freshman that was playing up the Hill at Fayetteville High this time last year.

you'll sack us but not because of the oline.

you'll stop our run game as well and that is because of our oline.
