Arkansas fans keep posting that. He may hash out to be good, who knows at this point, but to crown him so quickly strikes me as very "Aggie" tbh
I invite Arkansas fans to go on record in this thread regarding Austin Allens greatness and superiority to his brother.
This will either provide us with much humor at the end of the season or provide Arkansas fans with great validation.
So go for it Arkansas fans "I feel that Austin is already greater than Brandon because______________"

So far he's playing better than Brandon did his first two years, I think that's mainly what has been stated. It's been like he started where Brandon left off.

Comparing where both were at this point in their careers, through three games this year compared to last year, Austin has been without a doubt better. It will be hard to replicate BA's second half of last year but Austin has only started three games ever in college and Brandon had multiple years starting.
Maybe it's because of Enos but even the commentators were impressed with several NFL-level throws that Austin made late in the game against TCU

Well we aren't QB transfer U, so we like what we see in our quarterback going forward. I'm sure who ever your starter is and the other 5 5* prospects will flee after this weekend.

Brandon: Third year starting, senior year, trailing Toledo at home, game winning drive, 4th down, pass clangs off the goalpost. Game over.
Austin: First year starting, first game, trailing LaTech, game winning drive, pass complete to Jeremy Sprinkle FTW. Second game, trailing TCU by 8 on the road, game saving drive, approx 2 minutes to play, throws TD pass to get within 2. Catches 2-pt conversion to send to OT, where he passes for 1 TD and rushes for the game winner.
Obviously nobody can predict the full arc of Austin's Arkansas career, but I'd say the beginning is showing signs of promise.

The hogs are the new Aggy this year. Strong start, mid season struggle.
Two weeks after Aggy they have a gauntlet of 7 SEC matchups with a bye week half way through. It's gonna be rough.

Brandon was never afforded the stability in head coach and offensive coordinator that Austin has. This stability lends confidence, which is invaluable to a young quarterback. Nobody can say whether Austin will end up being better than Brandon, and very few are actually saying this. What most are saying is that Austin certainly appears to be better than Brandon at comparable times in their college careers.
You would have to be stupid to say that Brandon played as well as Austin in his first 3 starts at quarterback. Well, stupid or an aggie, which is universally accepted as the same things.
