I haven't read all 7 pages, but he's saying that if we play worse, and other teams play better, we'd be losing more games?

Shocking if true.


Listen, our defense is playing really well right now. Our offense is struggling due to an entirely new system, new OC, new QB and no spring practice. Also we've been without a fully healthy RB in Rakeem Boyd and Treylon Burks(who was 80% Saturday but still had over 150 yards)

Offense will pick up and we won't have to rely on our defense as much.



at the end of the day, with the two worst teams in Arkansas football history, we've still had the ball with 2 minutes to go to win the game the last two years. A&M has been our closest game lately. Eventually it'll have to go our way.


btw, Mond sucks.

That but then also recently it turned into if we kept winning some this season that we are just a reincarnation of Florida in their first year with Boom so basically either way we are DOOOOOOMED and should feel bad and sad and hopeless.

Again, apart from the turnovers teams move the ball with consistency against them. Their YPP is solid (5.1) which is 23rd in the nation, but this is a product of Odom’s defense. Teams are able to consistently move the ball in 5-10 yards increments and Arkansas struggles getting off the field without turnovers. This is reflected by the fact that they are still giving up 420 YPG, 23 first downs per game and consistently losing TOP despite that YPP average and despite 14 total opponent turnovers so far. Their overall defensive efficiency is 39th, which is SHOCKING given the 14 turnovers. You would expect a team forcing almost 4 turnovers per game to be in the top 3-5 in the country in defensive efficiency, but the fact is Arkansas really struggles stopping people without turnovers. And because turnovers tend to revert to he mean over time but other defensive metrics do not, it should be expected that Arkansas will have to deal with this fact going forward.
