Bert has the team rolling, where do you see yourselves heading into next season?

At 9-3, improving on the season before?

SEC Championship?

Gotta think you improve on 7-5 with the way the team looks.

Where do you see your wins on the schedule?

What will the expectations be in Fayetteville heading into next season?

We are about to get decimated by the draft.

That was my next question: How many are you losing on each side of the ball?

I don't think anyone can honestly answer that question until we see who enter the draft.

Anywhere from 5-7 to 10-2. Too many questions at this point to have a good read, with the biggest questions being:

1) QB - who replaces Brandon Allen and how much will Arkansas miss his leadership, experience, and play making?

2) RB - Collins is likely going pro and next up is 260 lb Walker and Rawleigh Williams coming off an injury. Do we land a stud RB or 2 in this years class to help solidify the position, or are we going to be paper thin there next year?

3) Defense - does our LB corps and pass defense improve next season? This is vital if we are going to win more than 7 games.

I think 5 wins would be a very good season for them next year.

2 on defense and 3 seniors on offense. We also have 5 juniors on offense that could possibly declare. Our top 2 RB's, top TE, LT and RT.

Tretola and Smothers for certain, maybe Kirkland as well.

Lose 2 OL seniors. Have to wait and see what Kirkland decides.

Don't worry, there are massive OL waiting in the wings and two JUCOs we are in on now.

I think Kirkland and Henry stay. Collins is out. I really wish Jwill was staying to groom these young RB's.

Highly doubt. Most likely the #1 TE.

Who is Allen's backup?

What is the low down on him?

Legit?

Austin Allen - BA's brother. Probably a better athlete. I think he throws a better deep ball but not as accurate or as mature as BA.
